CAPDALLAS - Key Persons
Major Knightly joined 391 st squadron five years ago and is highly qualified in numerous Civil Air Patrol (CAP) specialties as a result of his 18 years as a CAP member. 391 st will be led by an outstanding member.
Knightly began his CAP career as a cadet on September 15, 2000 in Maine, and quickly advanced through the cadet ranks, achieving the Billy Mitchell and Amelia Earhart milestone awards. As an adult, Knightly transitioned to the adult member ranks and continued his professional growth and education in CAP, adding to his list of accomplishments. Some of those include qualification as Mission Scanner, Mission Observer, Airborne Photographer, Urban Direction Finding Team, Flight Line Marshaller, Flight Line Supervisor, and Mission Radio Operator - and that's just to name a few!
In addition to the broad reach of Knightly's specialties, he has also served in duty positions that include Public Affairs, Communications, Finance, Personnel, and Professional Development across the country, with membership in the CAP Wings of Maine, Maryland, Florida, and Texas. If Scott Knightly gives the appearance of an over-achiever, his parents may be credited with providing the model of excellence. Lt Col Ken Knightly serves in the Northeast Region of CAP as Assistant Inspector General, and Col Merrie Knightly is the Northeast Region Assistant Critical Incident Stress Management Officer. The Knightlys make service to their community, state, and nation a priority in the family. Dallas Composite Squadron waits for the legacy to continue.
