[Pilots] CAP missions and funding

[Greg Bestul]

Hello MN wing pilots,

Just a quick update on what's going on with our FY2026 funded missions. Yesterday most of our funded missions were opened in WMIRS, so you will see them as green when you look at them. The problem is that until the government shutdown is over there is NO funding in any of these missions, so you will not be able to add sorties to them. For the time being only "C" missions are available for us to fly.
The good news is that our rate for self-funded missions is going to be lower this year. The projection right now is that the rate for C172 will be $41/hour and for C182 will be $50/hr.

I will keep you updated as soon as funding becomes available for our funded missions.

Take care,


Capt. Greg Bestul
