Cadets save Rap star
QUEENS, N.Y. -- Civil Air Patrol cadets oll duty at
a recruiting booth during the Annual Queens Festival
here did not expect to be rescuing anyone. Yet, as it
happens, they did. And the person they rescued is a
world-famous singer.
Cadets assigned to work the recruiting booth were
pleased that while on duty they could hear a nearby "Rap
Music" concert sponsored by a local radio station.
Following the performance, Rap singing star, "L. L.
Cool J.," was attempting to leave when he was mobbed
by fans. As the performer went by the Civil Air Patrol
booth, the people following walked through the booth
nearly knocking it down.
Police officers on scene tried to hold back the fans and
Cadets Marion I,eer, Anthony DePaola, George Isaacs,
Kendrick Molina and Kevin Ruiz rushed to help.
Cadets got "L. L. Cool d.," and his body guard into the
nearby Civil Air Patrol van and Cadets Leer and Ruiz
jumped in and locked the doors.
The crowd surrounded the van and began knocking on
its windows and sides. The performer asked Capt. Peter
Koch, also in the vail, to drive him to where his car was
parked. Captain Koch checked with Maj. Marilyn Rey,
officer-in-charge of the recruiting detail, who thought it
was an excellent idea.
Captain Koch then drove carefully through the gathering crowd to the performer's nearby car.
It all turned out well as no one was injured, and the
singer gratefully gave his autograph to Cadets Leer and
Ruiz
All cadets involved had a thrilling story to tell their
squadron-mates and school friends. Two cadets have
autographs to prove it.

Unit flies in simulator
GOLDSBORO, N.C. -- Civil Air Patrol cadets and
senior members from the 141st Search and Rescue Composite Squadron, Ramseur, N.C., recently participated in
F- 15 Flight Simulator Training at Seymour Johnson Air
Force Base.
Members "flew" simulated missions that were very
similar to those "flown" by actual F-15 pilots. Maj. Tim
Culbreth was tested by two engine fires during his
simulation ride. tie commented, "No problem," as he
successfully extin~maished the flames.
Cadet Nick Gaggiano was navigator on his mission and
found tracking surrounding aircraft to be very interesting. "We located and homed-in on our KC-10 tanker fbr
refueling," he said.
During the dav the squadron also visited tile flightline
and got an up-cl'ose look at F-lSs and an F-4.
Attending tile training were; Major Culbreth, (:apt.
John Gottula, Capt. Allen Kerns, 2nd Lt. John Workman, 2nd Lt. Jim Gaggiano, Assistant Medical Officer
Kathy Caggiano and Cadets Nick Gaggiano, Matt Carper,
Chris Culbreth, Chris Cunningham, Nathan Nance,
Travis Seater, Richard Thomas and Jeremy Willett.

Fire destroys depot
CHEYENNE, Wy. -- A recent fire destroyed a warehouse in Douglas, Wyo., that contained Wyoming Wing's
Supply Depot wiping out more than $38,000 worth of
supplies.
The building was one of the first permanent structures
erected in Douglas after settlement 102 years ago. Harold
Link, owner of the building, had first given the Douglas
Composite Squadron and later Wyoming Wing free use of
a portion of the warehouse.
"During the last three years we got donations of materials, bought some and scrounged a lot to put up clothing
r a c k s a n d s h e l v i n g . We c o n s t r u c t e d a t r y - o n r o o m ,
repaired tile loading dock and steps and built a shipping/
receiving area," said Lt. Col. Betty Cash, WyomingWing
deputy commander tbr Logistics.
"We had all our uniforms hanging up and were about
to put all the boxed-up items on shelves when the fire
hit."
Reportedly, authorities are investigating the cause of
the fire.

September 1990

Safety remains one of our top priorities
By Brig. Gen.
Wa r r e n J . B a r r y
national commander
Civil Air Patrol
As I begin my tenure as
your National Commander,
I find it very appropriate
that my first article for Civil
Air Patrol News focuses
o n S A F E T Y.
Safety is the prime factor
[br all of our activities as
we fulfill Civil Air Patrol's
three-fi~!d mission. Afle,"
last ~cars disappointing
incrc,,-e in both flying and
vehich mishaps, I was
tasked as national vice comzn an der to become involved
in reversing these negative
trends.
At each National Executive Committee meeting,
and regional or state conference, I put on my "black
hat" and tried to raise the
safety consciousness of our
membership by relating
tragic and sometimes totally senseless safety violations our members were experiencing.
After a disappointing
1989; Civil Air Patrol had

the third highest flying
accident rate in the last decade.., reversing a six-year
positive downward trend.
And this year began with a
d i s a s t r o u s fi r s t q u a r t e r.
Civil Air Patrol suffered the
tragic loss of four lives and
four aircraft in a four week
p e r i o d . A d d i t i o n a l l y, a n other six aircraft were
damaged during taxi or towing operations.
()ur vehicle operations
were similarly off to a t e r r i b l e start tbr1990.
l am however, pleased to
congratulate you all on your
safety awareness and superb efforts this past quarter. We have had only one
accident and more importantly no deaths these past
three months. Unfortunately our vehicle mishaps
have not decreased as dramatically.
On the positive side, personal injuries continue to
decline. Additional supervision and attention to
detail by all members at all
levels in Civil Air Patrol
will be needed to continue
this positive trend.

Historically the second
halfofa given year accounts
for 60-percent of our total
mishaps for the year. Summer encampments, additional flying and driving operations along with volatile weather conditions provide ample opportunity for
mishaps and therefore increased safety awareness.
(;eneral aviation's accident rate has steadily decreased to an all-time low
of only 7.25 accidents per
100.000 flying hours in
1989. It looks like 1990
will equal or better that
figure. I challenge each and
every member tx) work hard
in the next four months to
help Civil Air Patrol beat
the all-time low of seven
accidents achieved in 1985.
By setting and reaching this
goal, we can match general
aviation's overall statistics.
More importantly, we can
keep performing our vital
flying missions assisting
others in need without ourselves becoming the ones
in need of assistance.
In vehicle and ground
safety, this same dedica-

tion can protect our cadet
and senior members and
allow us to focus on our
important programs being
accomplished. Simple
things like clearing an area
of obstacles prior to starting cadet recreational activities or using a spotter
for all vehicle backing operations can result in a
marked mishap decrease.
%'aining is one of the most
important tbatures of all
Civil Air Patrol activities,
and to be truly eflbctive, it
m u s t b e d o n e s a t b l y. We
cannot afford, in both
human and monetary costs,
to not make this effort. Our
equipment and vehicles are
top notch.., we must operate them safely.
We just presented our annual safety awards during
National Board. I congratulate Northeast Region for
receiving the Air University Commander's Safety
Award. I congratulate Wyoming Wing on earning the
c o v e t e d P a u l W. Tu r n e r
Safety Award, and als, Maj.
William M. Palmer fi',~ bemg
named Civil A Patrol's

Safety. Officer of the Year.
I challenge each Civil Air
Patrol member to do their
part as contributors toward
earning safety recog'nition
at all levels. Make your
unit a little better with your
personal safety awareness
and actions.
Only you can make that
difference felt. With your
support we CAN make these
next two years the safest in
our 50-year history.

Air Force turns 43
GUNTERAFB, Ala. -- The United
States Air Force celebrates its 43rd
anniversary Sept. 18.
Amev'ican military airpower also
marks it 8:lrd anniversary having
begun its expansion as th(, airplane
joined the balh)on in tht, 1.7.S. :\rmv'>
~i~l/;Al (:orps Aeronautical l)ivish)n ill
August 1907. That first Army airplane provided scouting and observation or enemy troop movements.
The American belief in and pursuit
of airpower in a capacity other than
battlefield observation was slow in
c o m i n g . Ye t i n 8 3 y e a r s , a d v a n c e ments in aerospace can be described
as nothing short o[' phenomenal.
The National Security Act or 1947
created the Air Force with the intent
of providing a comprehensive program
for the future security of the nation
through airpower.
Less than a year later, the Berlin
Airlift began when the Soviet Union,
led by Joseph Stalin, blocked all routes
into Berlin, inside Soviet-occupied East
G e r m a n y. P r e s i d e n t t l a r r y S . Tr u man challenged the Air Force to supply the city entirely by air. This Air
Force mission success gave the Soviets their first Cold War defeat. Today
the Berlin Wall is also a part ofhistory
and Gern~any is soon to be a re-united
democratic nation.
I n 1950, America joined United Nations forces in the Korean War. Air
Force experience further proved airpower lessons learned in World War
II.
l)uri ng Korea, the F-80 became the
first American jet fighter used in
coral)at and the Air Force developed
jet born bers wh ich extended the reach
of America's striking power.
D u r i n g t h e Vi e t n a m e r a , t h e A i r

Force left no doubt of the importance
orairpower. Air Force involvement in
Vietnam increased as communist forces
became ever more aggressive.
The first major bombing campaign
of the conflict was Rolling Thuncler,
which began in March 1965. The Air
I"()rce continu(,d precision hombing
with great success against North
Vietnam during air operations including Linebacker 1 and IAnebacker 11;
each time forcing the communists to
attend peace negotiations.
Today our Air Force is once again
being used in order to preserve peace.
In the Middle East, the Air Force is
proving once more that our nation's
leaders had the necessary foresigEt to
correctly ensure o u r country's security in the future with the National
Security Act of 1947.
Our Air Force today is also aiming
for the stars and taking quantum leaps
into new technology. In the past few
years, Air Force Space Command has
become a reality. The Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, is continually introducing new advanced technologies.
Voice- and sight-controlled aircraft
and weapons systems are no longer so
much science fiction, as they are becoming science fact. Stealth technology is no hmger theory, it is in practical us(, a.- uvidended I)v current testing of the B-2 Stealth t)omber and the
operational us(' of'the F- l 17A Stealth
fighter.
When looking at military aviation
of today and seeing its future potential. we can truthfully say that as our
Air Force gets older, it gets newer.
That fact hasn't changed since 1947
and likely never will.
tlappy Anniversary!

his final critique of the college stated, "This year's
college was favorably received by its students. At
the end each student responded to a question that
asked it" they would recommend the college to others.
Ninety-nine percent indicated they "definitely will."
Other civilian corporations pay ttmusands of'dollars to send their execut ires to week& mg "retreats"

GUNTER AFB, Ala. -Each year, National Headquarters Civil Air Patrol's
staff and the Air Force Standard Systems Center conducts its annual Air Force
Computer Orientation Program for a select number of
Civil Air Patrol cadets. This
year 17 cadets from 12
states were given the opportunity to attend the 5th
annual program.
"Cadets were exceptionally talented in basic computer skills and were able
to learn 'data base' in a
much shorter time than
previous classes," said
A F C O P A c t i v i t y D i r e c t o r,
Air Force Reserve Maj. Leo
Lawrenson. "Their ability
to assimilate new information was truly remarkable."
Each year cadets attending AFCOP appear to be
more and more computer

literate due to the fast-growing interest in personal computers at home Out of
cadets attending the 1990
program, all but one had
their own PC.
"This creates a real challenge to AFCOP instructors," said Major Lawrens o n . " We a r e c o n t i n u a l l y

In addition to the practical experience in the use of

at National Headquarters

cadets were treated to a

Cadet Officer School stresses teamwork
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -Ninety-nine of Civil Air Patrol's best cadet officers from
35 wings including Puerto Rico traveled here this summer
to attend Civil Air Patrol's
1990 Cadet Officer School.
This one-week course of
intense instruction is designed to provide senior Civil Air
Patrol cadets with knowledge
and experience upon which
they may develop and apply
leadership skills.
To qualify for attendance, a
cadet had to be 15 to 20 years
of age and earned Civil Air
Patrol's Mitchell Award.
Curriculum emphasizes
effective leadership, problem
solving, communicative skills,
moral responsiblity and physical fitness. Other topics included in the course range
from personal communications skills to stress management and creative thinking.
Several of Air University's best
speakers also provided cadets
with excellent examples of
professionalism.
As in past years, the school
utilized "Project Warrior"
leaders such as World War II
Medal of Honor recipient,
retired Air Force Col. William
R. Lawley Jr.
Air Force Col. Karen Brantner of the National Security
Briefing Team provided cadets a keen insight into leadership and the role of the
female officer. Her talk, according to Air Force Capt.
Robert S. Drake, chief, national cadet special activities,
was both informative and in-

spirational for cadets
Cadets also took part in
extensive hands-on exercises
designed to test their leadership and problem solving skills.
Project X and Team Leadership Problem scenarios gave
cadets an opportunity to evaluate situations, develop strategies and implement plans
while working under pressure
of time constraints. Teamwork
was emphasized throughout
these exercises
Air Force Academy Cadet,
Christopher J. Hemmer, Virginia Wing, provided cadet
leadership as 1990 Cadet Of.
ricer School's commandant of
cadets. Cadet Hemmer is
majoring in applied physics
at the academy with an aircraft desi~,m track. He has been
on the Dean's List for academic achievement since his
first semester. Cadet Hemmer
received special recognition
from the Cadet Officer School
staff this year as the best
commandant of cadets the
school has ever had.
The highlight of 1990's Cadet Officer School, said Captain Drake, was a graduation
ceremony and banquet conducted at the Gunter Air Force
Base Open Mess.

was concentrated in Central
and Northern.Virginia. North
Carolina Wing sent ground
teams to assist. The missing
aircraft was found on the

eighth day of the search by a
civilian ground team.
The Virginia search, according to Colonel Karnes, was
only practice for what came
next.
The day after the first search
ended, Air Force Rescue Coordination Center officials activated North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina Wings
to search for a missing Cessna
182 that was on a flight from
Greensboro to Franklin, N.C.
This aircraft had canceled its
original flight plan and attempted to proceed visually.
Last known location was
near the conjunction of state
lines south of Highlands, N.C.
After a six-day search it was
found on a mountainside west
of Highlands by an aircrew
from Shelby Composite Squadron. The pilot had been killed.
Afew weeks rest, said Colonel Karnes, was barely enough
for North Carolina Wing
searchers when AFRCC officials assigned another search
mission. A Mooney M20 with

two persons aboard was reported missing on a flight from
A n d r e w s - M ' u r p h y, N . C . t o
Americus, Ga. As North
Carolina and Georgia Wings
began their searches, a Shelby
Composite Squadron aircrew
on initial route search heard a
fhint Emergency Locator
Tr a n s m i t t e r a n d t r a c k e d i t s
signal to a mountainside near
the departure airport. The
aircraft was located. Both
persons on board had died in
the crash.
To top off a busy 30 days,
North Carolina and Tennessee Wings were called out to
find another missing Cessna
182. A five-day search was
completed when a South Piedmont Senior Squadron aircraft
found the missing Cessna on
yet another mountainside.
Ground teams took three hours
to get into the remote area,
only to discover the pilot in
this crash had also been killed.
North Carolina Wing alone
had more than 500 volunteers
working on the four searches.

Notes

The end and the beginning
By Col. Lester E. Hopper
national historian
GUNTER AFB, Ala. -- Kind
of an odd title for a column
which uses Civil Air Patrol's
"Duck Club" logo as an illustration. Let's examine it and
see why.
Some seven years ago, in
the April 1983 issue of this
fine newspaper, the very first
Historical Notes was published. It covered the "Duck
Club." The article pointed out
that the "Duck Club" was
established as a means of
recognizing the estimated 129
Civil Air Patrol airmen who
had survived the harrowing
experience of having crashed
at sea while on Coastal Patrol
duty.
Since that time, 88 other
Historical Notes have been
published on a nearly con-

secutive-issue basis. The topics
of these Historical Notes have
been many and varied. In so
doing, an attempt was made
by various authors to stimulate an interest in our organization's rich heritage.
Interest was stimulated.
H o w e v e r, a p o i n t h a s b e e n
reached where it is increasingly difficult to generate a
new topic each month. Accordingly, it has become necessary to change plans for the
presentation of this column.
Although it is not being discontinued, Historical Notes
will no longer appear on a
monthly basis. In the future,
it will be published as interesting historical material
becomes available.
Thus, we have come to, "The
End," of monthly publication
and, "The Beginning," ofocca-

sional publication; hence the
unusual column title. Another
way of putting it is that the
column crashed, but like "Duck
Club" members, will survive.
In the past, Civil Air Patrol's National Historical
Committee has appealed to
you, the reader, for help on
various projects. Here too,
you can help. If you have
historical material about Civil
Air Patrol which you feel is
worthy of publication, kindly
provide it to the National Historian in as complete a form
as possible.
Any such material may be
mailed to:

Minnesota units conduct unplanned searches
PRINCETON, Minn. -- Minnesota
Wing's Group III Search and Rescue
Exercise closed its week-long training
recently with some unplanned
searches.
The first unplanned search involved
a floatplane that had clipped some
trees during an emergency landing
five miles northwest of the Princeton
Airport. Air Force Rescue Coordination Center received several satellite
hits in the same general area and
contacted Maj. Bruce Sexton, Minnesota Wing's director of Emergency

follow-up on an aircraft crash they
were investigating. The deputies
reported they had been unable to
contact appropriate agencies about
the crash and gave Group III officials
the location of the downed floatplane.
One ground team was sent to the site.
The Emergency Locater Transmitter
aboard the aircraft was silenced.
Even though the ELT had been secured, St. Cloud Composite Squadron's aircrew was still receiving a
signal. The crew, upnn returning to
St. Cloud Airport, located and turned

Services, with the information.
Major Sexton contacted Group III
base by radio and the search was on.
First Lt. Richard Jadwin, on scene
commander, assembled three ground
teams. The coordinates of the reported satellite hits were plotted and
teams dispatched.
Major Sexton also activated a St.
Cloud Composite Squadron aircrew
which was 25 miles to the west of the
suspect area.
At Group III base, two Milacs County
Sheriff's deputies arrived looking to

WOODI,AND HILLS,
Calif. -- California Wing's
Disaster Relief Exercise,
held in the High Sierras
near Bishop, Calif., recently received an "Excellent" rating by Air Force
evaluators.
C h i e f E v a l u a t o r, A i r
Force Lt. Col. Billy E.
Heslap, director of operations for Civil Air PatrolUSAF Pacific Liaison
Region, complimented
those involved saying, "It's
good to see a small group
with relatively few aircraft
operate so well. Foresight
and planning were excellent. Technical skills and
determination of crews
and support personnel to
accomplish the mission
were most evident."
Colonel Heslep was particularly pleased with communications and operations activities. "It is the
first time I've seen Packet

supposed to," he said.
Colonel Heslep noted the

Ground crews were active
in searching out and verifying damage closer to the
base.
One aircrew was dispatched to Fresno, Calif.,
to pick up 100 blankets
from the Red Cross and
bring them back to Bishop.
Following the debriefing and critique, California Wing Commander, Col.
Ernest C. Pearson, congratulated participants on
a "job well done," saying,

"I am aware ofthe mental
blocks and physical hardship you have endured to
earn the excellent rating.
The wing is justifiably
proud."
Colonel Pearson then
presented the Commander's Commendation
Award to Lt. Col. Lloyd
Goodale for his "outstanding leadership" and long
years of service to Civil

tragedy struck.

During the airshow, the
pilot of an aerial acrobatic
biplane was killed when his
aircraft crashed. One of the
witnesses, New Jersey Air
National Guard Maj. Drew
M. Hurley, was so impressed
with the reaction and response of Civil Air Patrol
volunteers at the scene, he
sent a Letter of Commendation to Connecticut Wing's
commander praising cadets
and senior members.
In the letter, Major Hurley
states, "I had a first-hand

opportunity to observe the
Connecticut Wing Civil Air

Following the crash, they immediately helped secure the
spectator area and ensured
that rescue equipmen~ could
expeditiously get to the crash
