ALS - The cadet staff at TX295, Mckinney Thunderbolt Composite Sqdn have started the ball rolling for hosting our next Group II ALS, to be held at Bishop Field, about 20 miles west of Mckinney, TX. The date set is the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving, Nov. 19 - 21, 2010, with a back up date of Nov. 12 - 14, 2010. Col. Tom Bishop has already given approval for use of his facilities for this event. The ALS staff from TX262 will be working hand in hand with TX295 to put together an excellent ALS staff. The timing for this event is excellent, as it will prepare cadets who plan on attending the Winter 2010 TX Wing Encampment as Basic Cadets.
