Squadron 2 operates from Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. Base Administration has generously assigned use of one half of Hangar 444 on the west side  of the base, where we house the six aircraft assigned to the squadron (Two 206's, Two 172's, One 182, and One T-34). The hangar includes support facilities for aircraft maintenance and mission preparation and debriefing.

The aircraft are equipped for instrument flight and have additional mission-related communication,  navigational, and photographic capabilities. All are equipped to CAP standards for search and rescue operations.

Beyond the satisfaction of FAA standards and regulations, pilots are expected to maintain CAP directed flight proficiency.  They pay hourly rates for flying time other than formal Mission Flights. Participation in the monthly maintenance meeting permits a five dollar reduction of the hourly flight fee for personal proficiency flights.
