CAP offers Flight Line Marshaling services at special events such as fly-ins. For the safety of pilots, marshalers, and the public, training is required before you go on a live flight line.  Some of the usual duties that a Flight Line Marshaler may be asked to perform include:

  - Marshaling Aircraft – directing and parking aircraft to and from sorties.

  - Servicing Aircraft – fueling, handling, tie-down

  - Ramp Checks – usually are done by a ground team, but you may be asked to help.

  - Safety and Security – help keep “tourists” out (primary for safety rather than security reason).

Sometimes during training there are additional opportunities to make the training special even beyond the training itself.  In April, 2008 Flight Line Marshaling Training was held in Bellingham and participants had a chance to view old fighter aircraft such as the famous P-51 Mustang in the pictures below.
