Event Description
EVENT DESCRIPTION AND OVERVIEW
The mission of Red Ace is to provide high quality support in the areas of Air Operations and Emergency Services to the Aerospace Center for Excellence and the Sun N Fun Aerospace Expo held annually at Lakeland Linder Airport in Lakeland, Florida. Red Ace is broken up into two main missions, Ground Operations and Air Operations.
Ground Operations – This program focuses on ground-based emergency services (ES). ES qualifications such as ground team member, urban direction finding, and mission radio operator will be the area of focus during the activity. In addition to these items, cadets will learn about Airside Crowd Control, Military Support, and Hot Air Balloon operations, as well as providing overall assistance to Sun ‘N Fun Air Operations. These cadets will experience rigorous training in the beginning of the event and then perform the tasks learned throughout the event with mock ES missions along with their crowd safety duties.
Air Operations – This program focuses on the flight line responsibilities associated with the air show. Students should prepare for the rigors of learning flight line marshalling and working on an active airport flight line. Cadets will assist Sun ‘N Fun Air Operations in manning active taxiways and will assist in parking aircraft at general aviation parking. The beginning of the event will focus on training and qualifying the cadets in flight line marshaling, Airside Crowd Control, safety, and risk management.
