Located in Frisco, Texas, the Frisco Blackbirds Cadet Squadron prepares teens to serve their community, state, and nation through programs in moral leadership, aerospace education, emergency services and physical training. The squadron is part of the Texas Wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). The United States Air Force Auxiliary, CAP conducts over 85% of inland search and rescue missions in the U.
S. CAP members also provide disaster relief support, counterdrug reconnaissance and humanitarian assistance. Our motto is Semper vigilans, "always vigilant."
While this squadron is shut down we like to post historical updates as we can. Last night a former Frisco Cadet was promoted to C/ Col having earned his Spaatz award. C/Col Jackson Reed has worked hard during his cadet career and we congratulate him on his great achievement. Former Squadron Commander Phyllis Sutton was present last night and provided us with some photos of the ceremony.
While the Frisco Blackbirds squadron is no longer active for now we still like to share other squadrons pages. Head over to Plano Mustangs Composite Squadron and give them a like. ~Maj Edwards

For those just joining this page and those who have recently come to check it out the Frisco Cadet Squadron was shut down in November of 2014 due to lack of senior staff to support the squadron. The squadron may be re-opened at some point in the future but not anytime soon.
The 3 closest squadrons are Denton, Mckinney, and Plano and the contact information for each can be found at www.gocivilairpatrol.com. This page will remain active to keep the history and updates together in one place. Thank You.

This afternoon the Texas Wing Civil Air Patrol Color Guard(Frisco Cadet Squadron) presented the colors for the Equest Galla at the South Fork Ranch Located in Wylie TX. The national Anthem was sung by a local student from DISD and was the best rendition we have heard in a long time as it was sung very well in its original form.

This evening the Texas Wing Color Guard(Frisco Cadet Squadron) was honored to post the colors for the Air Force Association banquet and to meet the AFA president and Retired General Craig R. McKinley. They also met several other great heroes of our country and military service members. We were also accompanied by a cadet from the Mckinney CS and they all posed for a photo with the General before departing.
This past Sunday our cadets enjoyed promotions night. We held abbreviated ceremonies for several milestone achievements with our amazing Group 2 Commander Major Schroder in attendance as our dignitary along with Captain Maso, a former Spaatz Cadet now Colorado Wing Senior, as a dignitary as well. Cadets Massey and King received their promotion to c/2nd Lt and will receive their Mitchell certificate once it arrives next month in a formal ceremony. Cadet Morrow was promoted to c/SSgt joining good company in the NCO corps of our squadron. Cadet Payne was promoted to c/TSgt, and cadet Palacio was promoted to c/CMSgt stepping much closer to his Mitchell award. We had two absent cadets who will be promoted next month cadet Voinoff who was to receive his Wright Brothers award and promotion to c/SSgt and cadet Reed, J who was to be promoted to c/SrA. Congratulations to all and keep up the good work.
Recently the Texas Wing Color Guard(Frisco Cadet Squadron) visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston while at the Texas Wing Conference along with all of the cadets in attendance of the conference. They had the pleasure of being guided through historical mission control by Gene Kranz. After his tour and lesson they paused for a photo with him. They then toured the interactive information center and posed for a few photos as well.
Our new National Commander has been selected. We are happy to welcome him as he has already been serving us as vice commander.

This weekend several squadrons gathered together at the YMCA facility in Anna TX for Cadet Flight Fest. This is the photo set from the GTM 3 class taught by Capt Edwards of Frisco Cadet Squadron TX-389, C/2Lt Langley and Capt Cryer of Nighthawk CS TX-413. Several of our cadets were on the GTM 3 training and enjoyed it quite a bit coming away with GTM 3 and possibly UDF qualifications. They also had a lot of fun camping on site and having a bon fire Saturday night after completing an ELT search for the smores materials. A big thank you to Lt Col Whisennand x 2 for being the IC and mission staff for this event so we could train everyone who wanted to attend. Also thank you to 2Lt Lorenz and 1Lt Cowley for setting up and running communications for us over the weekend. Thank you to Mckinney CS for hosting this event and getting all the planning knocked out ahead of time.
This evening C/Tompkins taught a leadership and unifrom class followed by Capt Edwards teaching Emergency Services hot and cold weather injury prevention and treatment using the NESA curriculum. Then Capt Maso from the Colorado Wing-Civil Air Patrol awarded cadets Massey and Railey certificates for completion of private pilot ground school and endorsed them to take their knowledge test for their private pilots license. They have been working hard for 6 months in free time with Capt Maso to train to be private pilots with instruction from Capt Maso.
Pt meeting with the commander doing pt with cadets. Also safety day and ORM day.
Promotions meeting and review boards. We also completed ICUT evaluations for the members who needed it.
Cadets Tomkins and Ding get to go on their first real mission to locate and deactivate an ELT on Mckinney airport. Thankfully the ELT was a non distress find and these cadets were both awarded their first find within days of completing their qualifications.
