Season 2, Episode 101

Tehachapi Civil Air Patrol Squadron 46 Commander Lt. Ruben Del Portillo and Travis Dalton come into the studio to talk about the youth program based at the Tehachapi Municipal Airport. They explain what they do and how the cadets ages 12-18 (both male and female) learn about STEM related topics that obviously include aviation. Most recently the Kern County Fire Department stopped by with a helicopter for them to check out. The Civil Air Patrol also provides volunteer opportunities for the cadets as they look to help the community and partner with other Tehachapi organizations. Its an interesting conversation, one both parents and potential cadets may want to check out.
