Glad they got this back on the ground with hardly any damage. Could have been much worse. I admire these volunteer pilots who risk their lives conducting important missions for our country. I think they should have newer planes to fly to prevent problems that occur when dealing with their aging fleet. Congress needs to increase the funding so CAP can continue saving the lives of Americans.
