Osprey Composite Squadron celebrates their sixth year participating in Wreaths Across America
By: Jacqueline Gardner, Public Affairs Officer
On Saturday, December 10, 2011, The Civil Air Patrol, Osprey Composite Squadron from Dundalk Maryland, participated in Wreaths Across America, a National program to honor our fallen veterans. The ceremony was held at Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery and began precisely at noon. Thirty five CAP members, military veterans and families of veterans were present. The guests were very impressed by the compassion and professionalism demonstrated by our squadron and made several comments to both cadets and senior staff. Our cadets had practiced very hard to make this event a perfect representation of honor to all those who served. The ceremony proved to be both functional and emotional as each family had a personal story to share about their beloved veteran. We were honored to have several veterans in attendance that could assist with the placement of the wreaths to honor their fellow hero's that had fallen.

Osprey's New Commander
The Osprey Composite Squadron held a change of command ceremony on October 30, 2011 at the American Legion Post #38. Captain Karl Lotvedt of White Marsh MD assumed command from Major Patricia Filipiak. Major Filipiak, who originally founded the squadron decided to step down as commander after eight years of demonstrating strong leadership skills, loyal dedication to the squadron and countless hours of service. Captain Lotvedt is a 20 year veteran of the United States Air Force and brings with him the knowledge, background experiance, and strength as a leader to carry Osprey Squadron to new heights and goals. While on active duty in the Air Force, Captain Lotvedt's duties included being a refueling manager, a part of the Supply Squadron, where he worked with almost every aircraft in the U.S. military as well as many foreign countries.

Osprey Cadets Assist At Dedication Of Radio Control Flying Field
By Major Rick Frattali, CAP
Public Affairs Officer, Osprey Squadron
6/1/2011–Baltimore, MD–On May 21, 2011, Civil Air Patrol cadets from Maryland Wing's Osprey Composite Squadron assisted members of the Radio Control Modelers of Baltimore in dedicated their new flying field in Parkton, Md.
The Osprey color guard raised the national and Maryland flags during opening ceremonies, while other cadets helped with crowd control, logistics and the Osprey information booth. After the ribbon cutting dedication, all were treated to an outstanding show of radio controlled aircraft flying, including amazing one-half scale models and an electric ducted fan jet flying 120 mph. But the best was when each cadet got the opportunity to fly a gas-powered trainer aircraft under the guidance of an instructor. Our cadets were flying high! |

Osprey Squadron Cadets Fly RC Aircraft
By C/SrAmn Austin Godwin, Osprey Cadet Public Affairs Assistant
On February 8, 2011, the Osprey Composite Squadron hosted a very special guest, Mr. Jack Stites, of the Radio Control Modelers of Baltimore (www.rcmb.org). Mr. Stites is the President of the RC model club, as well as owner of model airplanes almost too big to be considered models. Bringing an array of smaller models, Mr. Stites presented an aerospace education class that was both informative and illustrative. The cadets, who viewed the evening as an amazing experience, were all given “stick time”, flying some of the latest technology in indoor airplanes and helicopters. Mr. Stites also showcased a model version of the F-22 fighter plane which weighed about ten pounds, and was complete with a model pilot in the cockpit. Osprey cadets will continue to learn model flying skills at the RCMB’s outdoor flying field in the coming summer. |
