June 6-8 marked the Wisconsin Wing's annual participation in the Thunder on the Lakeshore airs how in Manitowoc, WI. Approximately 40 cadets and adult members from the Timmerman Composite Squadron, 461st Wisconsin Composite Squadron, Milwaukee Senior Support Squadron 10, and Sheboygan Composite Squadron attended the event and provided flight line security and crowd control operations. Also, a CAP Cessna 182 equipped with a G1000 glass cockpit was deployed from Timmerman Airfield to the air show for static display. Although foul weather expedited airborne operations on June 7th, and canceled them on the 8th, the show still drew thousands of spectators. Attractions included various historic aircraft, a parachute team, aerobatic displays, simulators, C-130 tours, and military fighter jets. Civil Air Patrol and other volunteer workers were also treated to a private airshow by two latecoming F-18 Hornets from the Royal Canadian Air Force who performed multiple low altitude, high speed passes over the airfield. The Hornets also provided an opportunity for trained CAP flight line marshals to test their skills on an aircraft significantly larger than the traditional Cessna 172/182.
