Welcome!

You have reached the web site for Northern California (NorCal) Group 5 of the Civil Air Patrol. NorCal Group 5 is one of the largest CAP groups anywhere!

We cover a large portion of Northern California - 26 Counties! We have 6 aircraft, 3 vehicles, and a large staff of dedicated volunteers carrying out CAP's missions in Emergency Services, Aerospace Education, and Cadet Programs.

We are always looking for young people who are interested in becoming cadets, as well as dedicated adult volunteers willing to work for a great cause!  

To learn more, contact one of our Northern California squadrons nearest your location to arrange for a visit during one of their regularly scheduled meetings, and get to know the people who make up this dynamic organization.

Thanks for stopping by and please visit our web site us often!

Maj. Ray Spengler, Commander, Group 5
