Alabama unit hit by severe storm
BESSEMER, Ala. -- It's not
unusual to shut offtwo Emergency Locater Transmitters
on the same mission, especially if one aircraft has collided with another, but Alabama Wing's Bessemer Composite Squadron recently
turned off eight within minutes of each other, one on their
own aircraft.
In the early morning hours
of February 10, a severe thunderstorm, with wind gusts of
more than 100 mph, hit Bessemer's Municipal Airport and
surrounding areas.
Maj. Dennis Flowers, Alabama Wing chief of staff, received a call from Wing Director of Emergency Services,
Maj. Pete Norris, advising him
o f a n E LT s i g n a l n e a r t h e
airport.
Driving to the area was
difficult, according to Major
Flowers, due to downed trees
and power lines. But upon
arrival, at 6:30 a.m., he discovered at least 20 aircraft
were destroyed along with

several hangars and more than
20 other aircraft severely
damaged.
Bessemer's own squadron
headquarters building was
severely damaged after being
struck by two aircraft, including the unit's own T-41B.
A call was made to squadron leaders to round up all
available manpower and a
damage report was relayed to
local authorities.
Due to power outages, and
a request for assistance by the
Red Cross, Capt. Mike Husband was dispatched to set up
a communications center at
Shelby County's Red Cross
building where he not only
supported Civil Air Patrol's
mission but helped relay
emergency messages for several relief agencies.
Major Norris was sent to
Red Cross Operations Center
in nearby Columbiana, Ala.,
to give authorities there any
necessary assistance he could
provide.
As personnel arrived at the

scene they were assigned
various tasks such as shutt i n g o ff E LTs , n o t i f y i n g a i r craft and hangar owners of
damage, marking dangerous
areas such as fuel leaks, checking the runway for debris and
helping clean up wreckage.
Capt. Matt Panozzo, Bessemer Composite Squadron
commander, led the team that
silenced the eight ELTs. 1st
Lt. Kenneth Evans and Cadet
Matt Thompson led a team of
cadets that made a complete
damage assessment of the
airport area and assisted in
making emergency repairs to
the squadron building.
Personnel from Jasper
Composite Squadron and
Birmingham's Composite
Squadrons assisted in making surveys of several other
surrounding airports where
there was also damage.
By the end of the day more
than 40 aircraft owners had
b e e n a s s i s t e d , e i g h t E LTs
turned off and the rebuilding
process begun.

HIGH WINDS CAUSE DAMAGE -- Alabama Wing's BessemM
Composite Squadron headquarters building sustained severe
damage as high winds, generated by a recent storm, tossed two
aircraft Including the unit's own T-41B Into the building. Squadron
officials report they turned off eight Emergency Locater Trammtttters in a matter of minutes. The high winds are responsible for
either damaging or destroying 40 aircraft In Bessemer, Ala. (CivU

Units train the
Canadian way
HAMILTON, Ontario -- Twenty
three cadets and senior members from
New York Wing's A}bar#, Binghamton,
Dunkirk and Syracuse Groups were
taught to survive winter conditions
the "Canadian way," while attending
a recent Winter Training School hosted
by the Royal Canadian Air Cadets'
735th Firebird Squadron.
For the fifth year, Civil Air Patrol
members ventured to a conservation
region near here to meet and train
with their Canadian counterparts.
American and Canadian cadets formed'
joint flights and, depending on their
skill level, spent their time in the field
practicing emergency survival skills
or in classrooms learning basics needed
to cope with winter conditions.
Advanced teams, while in the field,
built emergency shelters out of plastic
tarps, tree branches, twine and whatever other material they could find.
Cadets from both nations worked
together as teams as they were challenged to build air-to-ground signals
and practice caring for simulated injuries.
Newer members attended courses
in survival psychology, emergency food
and water procurement, shelter construction, field safety and hygiene,
first aid, radio communications and
emergency signaling.
A joint Canadian-American staff,
under direction of Royal Canadian air
force Capt. Brian Carrey, supervised
the school. Civil Air Patrol senior members taught classes to newer cadets
and provided guidance and instruction as tactical officers.
"This school is an excellent traini ng
activity," said RCAC 1st Lt. Keith
Gould, Firebird Squadron training
officer. "It gives us the opportunity to
exchange training methods and procedures."
Lieutenant Gould's thoughts were
echoed by Civil Air Patrol 1st Lt. Robert
Frost, Emergency Services officer for
Syracuse Group's Lt. Col. Robert S.
Vankeuren Cadet Squadron, who
added that, "The school went beyond
the training involved. Our cadets like
to come here. They meet new people
and make new friends. They see how
people in other countries live and they
learn that we are more alike than
different."

awards include the Meritorious Service Award, Commander's Commendation, Unit Citation, Gill Robb Wilson
Award, Aerospace Education, Rescue
"Find" and Search and Rescue Ribbon.
The colonel is a Federal Aviation
Administration certified flight and
ground instructor for both aircraft
and instruments. She is a Civil Air
Patrol senior pilot, mission check pilot and cadet orientation pilot. She
has more than 1,800 flying hours.
As Vermont Wing's new commander,
Colonel Abrams plans to see the wing
accomplish Civil Air Patrol's mission
with pleasure and professionalism,
intensify its bonds with government
agencies and other external organizations and implement exciting training programs.

found out that using the truck
would not have been practical.
As they continued on Interstate 81 toward Greenville,
Tenn., the snow began to fall

falling. The first indication
they got that this was not going

they saw two vehicles that

Passengers were a family of
four on their way to Georgia
from Virgi nia when their van
flipped over and landed right
side up. One passenger, a girl,
was bleeding from a head
wound and complaining about
hurting inside.
Major Copenhaver began

efforts to make the girl comfortable by placing cushions
underneath her to get her off
the wet, cold ground and covered her with blankets and
coats to keep her warm.
The Copenhavers called on
their radio for "any" Blue Chip
station, received a response
and requested an ambulance,
police and emergency support
and gave their location.
In a matter of minutes there
was another accident. This one
involved a car which slid up
the road embankment and
went into the trees. Beyond
this accident there was another. A tractor trailer and
car collided leaving the truck
sprawled across almost the
entire highway.
Yet another accident occurred involving four vehicles
trying to avoid hitting the
truck. As the Copenhavers
witnessed these numerous,
seemingly continuous accidents taking place, they called
in additional requests for ambulances and emergency assistance.
Another car approaching the
accident area tried to stop,
spun around backwards, skidded off the road and barely
missed ramming the Copenhavers car.
The Copenhavers daughter, Sarah, darted from their
car to check on the driver.
Sarah was able to get to the
driver and persuade her to

MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- The purpose of military award medals and"
service ribbons has always been to
recognize faithful service, exceptional
conduct and special devotion to duty.
These award ribbons have also helped
build unit and individual pride, moral
and esprit de corps. For the benefit of
mission accomplishment, awards are
used to encourage other members to
emulate the conduct of those receiving awards.
In 1944, the first military-style Civil
Air Patrol service ribbons were authorized by the War Department. These
were awarded for 250 hours, 500 hours
and 1,000 hours of Civil Air Patrol
service. Cadets, as well as senior
members, were authorized to receive
these ribbons. Since the highest
number of hours included the lesser,
only the highest ribbon was authorized to be worn.
The first exclusively cadet ribbons
were established'in 1948. These were
designed by the Army Institute of
Heraldry and were tiffed the red, white
and blue Cadet Merit Ribbons. Cadets
would be awarded these ribbons for
successful completion of a given phase
of cadet training and for one, two or
three years service as a cadet. Again,
only the highest cadet ribbon was
worn.
In 1957 Civil Air Patrol Regulation
35-4 changed the title and requirements for earning these ribbons and
cadets were awarded ribbons for completing specific phases of the cadet
training program.
Civil Air Patrol triangle clasps were
awarded for additional phases. The
Red Ribbon for phase one, the first
clasp for phase two, the White Ribbon
for phase three, a clasp for phase four
etc., up to phase six when all three
ribbons and three clasps could be worn.

This system continued until March
20, 1964 when a new cadet training
program, designed to produce "dynamic American and aerospace leaders," was established and cadet training ribbons were replaced by various
cadet achievement ribbons, named
after Civil Air Patrol and aerospace
leaders.
The new system produced 11 cadet
achievement ribbons and used a system similar to the Boy Scout's merit
badge award system. A cadet who
earned the ultimate, Gen. Carl A.
Spaatz Award, had a complete collection of cadet achievement ribbons to
show his or her completion of training.
The new ribbons designed by WolffBrown Inc., of California, were modified in the 1980's but still retained the
same colors of designs authorized in
1964.
The original cadet achievement
ribbons are authorized to be worn by
some members. Civil Air Patrol regulations explain that former cadets may
wear the highest cadet ribbon earned.
Today cadets have a good number of
award ribbons which can be worn.
Civil Air Patrol Manual 39-1 authorizes 29 award ribbons for cadets.
The purpose of these awards remains the same as it did for Civil Air
Patrol's first ribbons authorized in
1944 and the first cadet ribbons established in 1948... to recognize hard
work and volunteer civilian service of
our members and to encourage others
to set goals for similar achievement.
When one sees these ribbons, they
should realize these represent almost
50 years of dedicated service to our
nation and our young people; service
that is freely given for love of country,
not for pay.

GL conference involves future
LANSING, Mich. -- Great
Lakes Region's recent Aviation and Space Education
Conference, drew a crowd of
more than 125 Civil Air Patrol members and educators.
These attendees gathered for
the purpose of learning more
about how to achieve advances
in aerospace education during the multi-organizational
event.
In addition to Civil Air
Patrol, other sponsors of the
conference included the Air
Force, NASA and Federal
Av i a t i o n A d m i n i s t r a t i o n .
These sponsors were brought
together with school teachers
and other education officials
from several states. The sponsors' goal was to teach educators about the value of aerospace education activities in
the classroom. According to
conference officials, aerospace
education activities in the
classroom can stimulate student interest in science and
act as motivation for increasing academic achievement and
career preparation,
Harold Bacon, deputy chief
of staff aerospace education,
National Headquarters Civil

Air Patrol, was one of the key
speakers at the conference.
Bacon spoke about the "critical need to educate the nation's youth in aerospace."
He said that it is projected
there will be a critical shortage of new graduates in science and technology in the
future. Said Bacon, this shortage could threaten continued
technological progress in the
U.S.
By getting students excited
about science at an early age
through aerospace, said Bacon, it is hoped that more will
continue to study the sciences
and choose their future careers in technologically related
areas.
