Crew Achievement Award Program (CAAP)
The Crew Achievement Award Program was in part designed to increase recognition of the often-unsung heroes of our sport - the dedicated crew.
Formally recognizing crew members and involving them in this program will mean crews will be more knowledgeable and enthused about ballooning - which will ultimately mean safer flights.
