Crystal Joy submitted this photo taken by Angela Rudd and a note: “The Cumberland Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol in Cumberland, Maryland, recently held an awards presentation with a backdrop that included both a current CAP aircraft and ‘Beach City Baby,’ a notable historical aircraft. This event highlights the squadron’s ongoing dedication to recognizing achievements within its ranks while also celebrating aviation history.”
She continues: “Incorporating the current CAP aircraft into the ceremony underscores the squadron’s operational capabilities and commitment to its missions, including emergency services, cadet programs, and aerospace education. Beach City Baby provides a unique and inspirational backdrop, connecting the squadron’s contemporary activities to the rich heritage of aviation.
“Such events foster a sense of pride and continuity among the members, linking past and present aviation milestones. The awards presentation not only honors individual and group accomplishments but also serves as a reminder of the squadron’s role in the broader context of aviation history and community service.”
