MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- For
the second time in two years a
team from North Carolina Wing,
representing the Middle East
Region, won the overall sweepstakes award in Civil Air
Patrol's National Cadet
Competition, which was held
here the last week of December.
Some 150 cadets representing
the eight regions took part in the
annual event, which featured a
series of drill competition,
physical fitness tests and oral
and written examinations in
aerospace subjects.
Each region was represented
by a team from one of its wings
that had been previously chosen
by local competitions. The
teams were from New York,
North Carolina, Florida,
Minnesota, Michigan, Louisiana,
Utah and Oregon.
The Michigan team
representing the Great Lakes
Region was named overall
runner-up.

CAP Announces New Recruiting Campaign
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- Civil
Air Patrol has announced a new
r~cruiting campaign for 1980,
which will run through June 30,
1980.
In order to give each wing an
equal opportunity in the competition, they have been
categorized by size: Category I
is for wings with 1,200 or more
members; Category II is for
wings with between 600 and 1,199
members; Category III is for
wings with 599 or fewer

members. Membership strength
for each category will be based
on the combined cadet and
senior membership as of Dec.
31, 1979.
Each category will have two
winners --the wing with the
highest overall growth and the
wing with the highest percentage
growth. The winning wings will
be recognized at the 1980
National Board meeting in
Louisville, Ky., with a plaque or
trophy.

Any member who recruits
three new members during the
campaign period will be given a
year's free membership under
the "Three For One" aspect of
this year's recruiting drive. This
will recognize and reward cadets
and senior members by waiving
wing, region and national dues
for one year for those members
who are personally responsible
for bringing in three new
members. There is no restriction on the type of member

recruited. Both cadets and
seniors may recruit either cadets
or seniors or a combination of
cadets and seniors.
There is also a retention campaign for members who
recruited'new members in last
year's campaign, which ran
from Nov. 1, 1978 to June 30,
1979.
Eligibility for awards in this
part of the campaign will be

Pilot Aids Student In Distress
TETERBORO, N.J. -- While
eastbound IFR over Harrisburg,
Pa., 1st Lt. Edwin Weintraub of
the North Jersey Sr. Sq. (New

emergency call from a disoriented student pilot who was at
3,500 feet and didn't know if he
was over land or water.
Weintraub told him to stay
calm and climb higher for better
radio reception. Weintraub's

and could he listen for an ELT
signal. There was a signal and
using DF equipment on board

to nearby Waynesboro Airport.
Augusta squadron personnel met
him there where they found the

A second ELT mission was
called when a signal was heard
in the Gordonsville and Tappahanock areas of Virginia.
Ward, as pilot, and Maj. Joe Curtis, observer, flew this night
mission. Flying out of
Charlottesville, they soon pinpointed the ELT signal as coming from Shannon Airport,
Fredericksburg, Va. Upon landing, they realized the signal
was coming from a row of metal
hangars. Ground teams from the
Richmond area met them there
to help determine which hangar
was transmitting the signal.

Executive Director's Comments

Fleet Modernization Program
By PAUL E. GARDNER
Brigadier General, USAF
Executive Director
S e v e r a l a r t i c l e s h a v e b e e n ,
written about the Aircraft Modernization Program (AMP) these
past three years. But I want
to say something about this subject, which is so vital to Civil Air
Patrol's welfare "one more time,"
but from just a little different
point- of view.
In dealing with CAP units
across the board, we see that
most wings and regions are
naturally more concerned with
their own needs and capabilities
than the Corporation overall. But
I know you expect me, as your
Executive Director, to take the
overall view for the good of the
total force, so let's approach the AMP in this article with an overall
view -- the view few people see in our units around the country.
The AMP is the largest single program ever undertaken by CAP.
Let me give you some facts to back up that statement:
Over $3.1 million spent for aircraft since the start in 1976.
Receipts of $3.3 million from the sale of obsolete, excess DOD
aircraft.
Inventory of $250,000 worth of aircraft now for sale.
AMP obligation to allocate over $450,000 for new aircraft buys
and rehab of excess DOD aircraft.
The dollar amounts are significant, but even more impressive to
me are the numbers of aircraft that have been involved in the
program:
" ~. Eighty-six (86) new or late-model aircraft purchased and seven
procured through trade.

Two hundred forty-seven (247) aircraft sold, 20 traded, and two
donated.
Eighty-nine (89) aircraft received from DOD excess.
Twenty-two (22) have been rehabilitated.
Thirty (30) more are projected for rehab.
Twenty (20) more aircraft awaiting transportation from
overseas.
Every wing and region has been involved in the program at one
time or another. In addition to the above, numerous engines have
been procured, various avionics provided, and wing obligations
paid through the AMP.
Our goal is to modernize the corporate aircraft fleet to the point
where no corporate aircraft is more than 10 years old. We have a
long way to go to attain that goal. Presently, only 25 percent of the
fleet is less than 10 years old. We have 168 aircraft that were
manufactured before 1960, with 11 being manufactured before 1950.
If we ever hope to reach our goal, we must take a realistic look at
these older aircraft in terms of utilization. Generally, the utilization is low and upkeep, when accomplished, is expensive. Yet, there
is strong resistance to eliminating these aircraft. But an unused
aircraft can be more of a liability than an asset.
The AMP is working because of the cooperation that every wing
gives us. It was easy when there were aircraft available to be sold
that would bring enough to pay for a new aircraft and maybe some
left over. But today there are few of those aircraft left. In fact, two
or three aircraft must now be sold to buy a new one. Consequently,
the overall fleet size has decreased from about 700 when the
program started to the present 600. The fleet will have to be
decreased even more if we hope to continue to modernize.
I challenge each and every one of you to look hard at your own
wing program. What can you do to modernize its fleet? What's your
capability? Are all your aircraft ready to perform the CAP mission? If not, why not? What is the wing's modernization plan?

The AMP can only operate with the continued cooperation of each
wing. Let's work this problem to the best benefit of all, and ....
"Keep 'em flying!"

THE AEROSPACE TEAM

L O W- A LT I T U D E A I R S PA C E M A N A G E M E N T
The "wide blue skies" have been shrinking ever since those daring young men in their
flying machines launched the era of powered flight more than 75 years ago.
In the early years, aviators with little or no training-much less controlled flight plans-soared above the earth. The skies had enough space for all and no one worried about
midair collisions.
Today it is a different story. Airspace over the United States is limited and rapidly
reaching the saturation point. By the year 2000 commercial aviation is expected to
increase by 48 percent and general aviation by 138 percent. Military aviation activities will remain about the same as now.
About 195,000 general aviation aircraft--pleasure and small business planes-should
be flying by 1981. Most operate at altitudes within 10,000 feet above mean sea level
where the speed limit is 250 knots. But the airspace below 10,000 feet also is needed
by our military air forces for training operations involving speeds of more than 250
knots. These activities include aircraft intercepts, air-to-air combat, close-air support
for ground forces and photo reconnaissance. These operations must be rehearsed by
airborne military forces to remain combat ready.
The mixture of fast military planes and slower civilian aircraft creates some obvious
problems. The training maneuvers and high speeds of military planes in low-level
airspace reduce the military pilot's ability to see and avoid other aircraft. And
camouflage paint, used on many military aircraft to avoid enemy detection, makes it
hard for civilian pilots to see the planes.
Fortunately, midair collisions between military and general aviation have been few.
But there have been near misses.
Safe, efficient use of low-altitude airspace is necessary. Congress has tasked the
Federal Aviation Administration with managing it. The FAA prescribes rules for
aircraft flights and safe; efficient use of airspace. Full consideration is given to both
national defense needs and civilian aviation.
The FAA and Defense Department have worked out rules for low-altitude, highspeed training. This was done to ensure the greatest safety for both military and
general aviation. The military will conduct low-altitude training activities in only
limited, charted airspace. Exceptions will be made only when absolutely required
and will be announced in advance. There are four principal charted military training
areas in low-altitude airspace. They are:
Military Operating Areas. These are relatively new airspace designations. The
areas are regularly used by the military services for training. This includes air combat
maneuvers, air intercepts, aerobatics and formation practice. The airspace must
be as free as possible from nonparticipating aircraft. Military operations areas are
kept to a minimum.
Restricted Areas. These are extremely hazardous to intruding aircraft. Dive
bombing, strafing, and missile firing are among the operations conducted in this
airspace. These involve speeds of 300 to 500 knots. Dive bombing requires steep
climbs and sharp descents at angles as steep as 60 degrees. Military pilots are kept so
busy performing their missions that watching out for other aircraft is very difficult.
In some restricted areas live artillery is fired.
Warning Areas. These are like the restricted areas but are located beyond the
three-mile coastline limit. Military activities may include shelling or missile firings
from surface ships, submarines, and shore installations as well as aircraft bombing,
gunnery or missile shootings.
In addition to these military training areas, Military Training Routes are used for
point-to-point missions such as reconnaissance and strategic navigation. These routes
will vary in width and altitude according to the mission, reducing the probability of a
civilian and military aircraft collision.
Precautions must be taken by both military and general aviation against midair
collisions in low-altitude airspace. Air Force personnel are being trained to share this
airspace with civilian pilots. Military pilots are trained to keep their heads and eyes
moving, using the see-and-avoid policy. The military training areas and routes are publicized. Speakers, information pamphlets, advisories, and other information may be
obtained from military air bases.
General aviation pilots need to use all sources of information available to know
about military training in the airspace their flight plan will take them. They should
know whether they can enter, where they may fly, and whether their flight will be
under visual or instrument flight rules.
FLIP charts-short for flight information publication charts--show military training
routes and areas. The Defense Department charts are available at Flight Service
Stations. These stations also have sectional charts, the Airman's Information Manual
and other material. FAA charts showing low-level military training routes are being
published. Civilian pilots also may request an update briefing while at the Flight
Service Station on pertinent low-altitude military activity. The key Flight Service
Station relays information to all other stations within I00 miles of the "hot" route
segments. The stations will also report military activity in answer to specific in-flight
radio queries.
Informed civilian pilots can keep clear of military air traffic if they plan their flights
and know the rules governing entry into any military area. They shouldn't bet their
lives on uncontrolled, unplanned flights.
The sky can be used and enjoyed safely by both military and general aviation pilots.
Sharing low-altitude airspace intelligently is a matter of self-preservation. Nothing
can be more important to a ptlot.

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

Community Oriented Work Gives Unit S tt ngth
By Maj. MARY WAGNER
Twin Pine Cadet Sq.
New Jersey Wing

TEST BRIEFING--Senior cadets brief other cadets prior
to taking examinations at the Southern Baptist Conference
Center in Lebanon, N.J.

PENNINGTON, N.J. -- The
strength of our squadron which
was chosen as a Squadron of
Merit, lies in the many varied
activities in which it participates. Many of these activities are community oriented.
Participation in civil defense
drills and the offering of
assistance to a local church involves the squadron locally. The
squadron participated in the
March of Dimes Marathon in
I-lunterdon County, with the
cadets acting as monitors along
the established route. The cadets
marched in the local parades in
Ewing and Pennington and were
awarded a ribbon in appreciation
for their marching.
Many of our activities are funrelated where the cadets enjoy
swimming, boating, attending
air shows, camping in our own
campgrounds and in various
state forests, roller skating and
ice skating.
One of our most innovative activities is the "Flying
Program", which consists of
cadets and senior members and
offers them the opportunity to
learn flying and eventually lead
to earning their pilot licenses.
The most serious activity in
the squadron, in which cadets
and seniors participate is a
weekend encampment at the

Lebanon Southern Baptist
Conference Center. The weekend
is devoted toward the upgrading
of cadets through the completion
of achievements.
The encampment schedule is
planned and carried out by the
senior cadet staff. Classes,
seminars, briefings and counseling is completed by the senior
cadets, under the' supervision of
senior members. As the cadets
complete their contracts, they
are given free time for
recreation.
All testing is done under the
supervision of senior members.
When all contracts are completed, the model rocketry
program is put into play, and the
cadets compete among
themselves with their rockets.
Recreation and sports become
a favorite pastime for the
cadets, football is played by
female cadets as well as the
males. A total of 56 tests were
passed of which 34 contracts
were completed.
Our weekly program is planned and run by the cadets with
senior supervision. The
squadron's two flights are essentially two drill teams, which
c o m p e t e w i t h e a c h o t h e r.
Through this training for the
past two years, the squadron has
won the Don Kaiser Trophy. The
trophy is awarded annually to
the winner of the Aerospace
Bowl and Drill competition held
at MeGuire AFB.

The policies of the squadron
consist of good grooming and
regulation haircuts. The cadets
are required to attend their
weekly meetings and all activities planned by the squadron.
A minimum of three
achievements per year are required of each cadet. CAP personnel are not allowed to smoke
or drink intoxicating liquor in
any CAP functions. All prospective members are required to attend four meetings and on the
fourth they must bring in their
parents to be briefed by a senior
member of what is expected of
them and their youngsters.
Before a prospective member
can become a cadet, he or she
must be approved by the cadet
review board.
Safety is stressed on all activities and isencouraged by the
senior cadets in all the
squadron's functions. Senior
members supervise all activities.
The squadron plays an important part in the social and family
life of the cadets by presenting
an open house twice a year for
the parents of the cadets in
which the activities of the year
are discussed.
We feel that this unity between
the squadron and the parents of
our cadets has done much
toward making our squadron
worthy of merit.

ROCKETRY INSTRUCTION -- Cadet Joyce Cook
conducts instruction in
rocketry, which is just one
of the many activities in
which the cadets participate and hold competitions
among themselves.

CLASS TIME -- Cadet Marc DiCocco holds a class in
aerospace subjects for other cadets in the squadron.

PREFLIGHT -- Former Cadet Dennis De Angelo, now an Air Force instructor in Oklahoma,
preflights an L-16.

AWARDS -- Cadets display awards earned during a recent
encampment ~it the Southern Baptist Conference Center in
Lebanon, N.J.

CIVIL AIR PATROL NEWS

W h a t I t Ta k e s To B e N u m b e r O n e
By Maj. ANGELA ARTEMIK
Palm Beach Cadet Sq.
Florida Wing
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -It is with great honor that I again
get to write the background
story for Palm Beach Cadet Sq.
for the Squadron of Distinction
Award." The first time I wrote
was when it was also rated such
in 1976.
Since then, we have grown
larger, with 84 cadets now compared to 65 then. We also have
grown from six to eight senior
members and one Air Force
reservists. This is a low number
of seniors for a large unit, but
the dedication, devotion and interest displayed by these senior
members is probably one very
good reason why we have again
been selected as a squadron of
merit.
The secret of maintaining such

a large unit with a minimum of
s e n i o r s t a ff i s p a r e n t p a r ticipation. The experience and
years of service of these seniors
is very high. The squadron comm a n d e r, C a p t . B a r r y D .
Bosworth, has been in Civil Air
Patrol 14 years; the squadron
advisor, Maj. Angela Artemik,
17 years; Lt. Col. Leon Bonam,
the executive officer, with 23
years service in the Air_Force;
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Samuel
Browne, 15 years; the administration officer, Lt. Col.
Frank Deutsch, the reservist, 2
years;, the aerospace education
and testing officer Capt. George
King, 15 years; the supply officer, 2nd Lt. Glenn Summer, 16
years; and his son CWO Ray
Summer, the squadron activities
officer and ground team training
officer, eight years; and 1st Lt.
Mary Shanahan, a past cadet
commander, the training of-

fleer, 7 years. All have a total of
96 years service for a ninemember senior staff.
We also get support from our
local senior squadron and much
help from our group commander. The senior unit and
group commander are mainly
responsible for most of the 150
flight orientations flown.
The squadron ended the fiscal
year with 14 Mitchell Awards,
four Earhart Awards and 145
contracts completed. They participated in three encampments
with 42 cadets attending.
One cadet and one senior made
the trip to Hawk Mountain, Pa.,
for ground team training. The
unit has participated in that
training since 1975. The cadets
have also received training in
first aid, radio operation and
emergency services.

Cadet Michael Jones works during recent summer on-the-job training encampment at an Air Force base where he worked in the base weather station.

The drill team has remained
one of the unit's first loves for
the entire year. During the last
three years, the team has placed
first once and second twice in
wing competitions.
The summer activities kept
the unit continuously on the
move. Nine cadets took part in
the "On-The-Job" encampment
at Homestead AFB, Fla., where,
instead of classroom instruction
and drill, they were given job
assignments working with onbase duty sections. These included overhauling engines in the
motor pool, riding patrol with
the base security police, and
working in the weather station
and base public affairs office.
Three cadets attended the
three-day water survival course
at Homestead AFB, which is the
same training given to the space

shuttle pilots.
The Cadet Officers School at
Maxwell AFB, Ala., had two
cadets from our squadron, five
cadets went on the IACE this
time, four to Britain and one to
Austria. One cadet attended the
Air Training Command
Familiarization Course in Texas
and three attended the one in
Mississippi. Two male cadets
were selected for the Air Force
Academy SurvivalSchool and
one female cadet was chosen for
the Eastern Air Lines
Stewardess School one-week
summer course.
It has been a great experience
to be able to work with this fine
squadron. One of our main goals
for this year and the main goal of
last year is improvment over
what we have already accomplished.

The squadron drill team participates in a parade.

Comment

Preparation For Responsibility
By SUSAN H. MANNING
Lieutenant Colonel, CAP
Great Lakes Region Staff
"PME: Why me?'~
This is a common response
from CAP members faced with
the Air Force Professional
Military Education and Civil Air
Patrol schools required for
progression through the senior
training program. Many seniors
would bypass this training if
possible, but with the new
program requiring this training
for promotion, they no longer
have a choice.
"Why me?" Examine some
reasons.
With each upward change of
duty assignment, comes added
responsibility. Unfortunately,
the ability to handle this new
responsibility does not come
automatically.
BRONZE MEDAL -- Capt. Joseph E. Furman, Minnesota
Wing Group 2, center, receives the Bronze Medal of Valor
from Col. Russell E. Kruse, commander of the Minnesota
Wing, left, as Lt. Col. Dennis Rock, deputy wing commander
looks on. Furman earned the award for saving the life of a
man in a burning apartment over a drug store where
Furman was when the fire broke out.

Can newly promoted officers
just assume they will be able to
deal with new and different
leadership problems which may
arise? Does promoting a
member enhance his ability to
stand up in front of a large
group and communicate effectively? Does promotion insure

the ability to handle questions
from subordinates on the
program and/or proper wearing
of the uniform?
The answer to these questions,
of course, is NO!
Leadership ability does not
mysteriously amplify with the
increase in authority. It takes
preparation. What is the mission
of this training?
The purpose of Civil Air Patrol
staff colleges makes it very
clear: To prepare you as a Civil
Air Patrol officer to execute
better the delegated and implied
duties and responsibilities
associated with CAP command
and staff positions; to provide
leadership and management
training; and to present concepts, methods, and ideas which
will enable you to accomplish
better the threefold mission of
Civil Air Patrol. This applies to
the Civil Air Patrol schools
(SLS, RSC, NSC) and to the
USAF/PME taken mostly in correspondence courses through
ECI.
How is this preparation
handled? More than anything
else, by practical experience and
added knowledge. In SLS, the
student learns about CAP duty

positions and how tliey intermesh with each other, with
added tips on how to accomplish
the job effectively.
The two staff colleges (RSC
and NSC) give the member practical experience in public
speaking, written communications, group problemsolving, and decision-making, as
well as knowledge of management and leadership methods
and ideas.
The Air Force courses (ECI7C, Squadron Officer School, Air
Command and Staff, and Air
War College) give the CAP officer a better insight into the
knowledge necessary to function
as an officer in relation to other
officers (both CAP and military)
and in relation to the world.
Once the member starts one of
the schools, the "Why me" is
quickly answered and, having
completed the school, most
lea ve asking, "Why not'sooner ?"
I personally have worn the
CAP uniform for more than 20
years. As a CAP officer, I am
proud to say I can match PME
with almost any Air Force officer of the same grade, and
many of higher grade.
I encourage you to participate.

MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- Civil
Air Patrol finished up the year
with a total of 55 lives saved in
1979.
Four of the final saves for the
year were in the Colorado Wing.
An account of the rescue effort,
written by Maj. Steven Blucher,
Colorado Wing public affairs ofricer, follows:
Four members of a Boulder,
Colo., family were rescued
Christmas Day after spending
two subfreezing nights in the
wreckage of their Piper Apache.
Barry L. Krieger, 41, the pilot,
his three daughters, Clare, 10,
Connie, 15, and Kathy, 17, and
his mother, Virginia, departed
Longmont, Colo., two days
before Christmas for a flight to
the west coast. Within minutes
after takeoff, the plane encountered weather that caused
the pilot to reverse his course
and ultimately necessitated a
precautionary forced landing in
a snow bowl about the 12,000-foot
level in Rocky Mountain
National Park.
The emergency locator transmitter in the nose of the Apache
aircraft apparently was activated but for some reason
reports did not start coming into
the Denver radar center until
Christmas Eve morning. At the
time Colorado Civil Air Patrol
began searching for the ELT,
nobody was aware that the
Krieger family was missing. No
flight plan had been filed.
CAP ground units started the
mission, working north of the
Denver area, but could not hear
the ELT signals. Only highflying airliners were getting
them. Two Colorado CAP planes
were launched and finally picked
u p t h e " y e l p " o f t h e E LT
northwest of Denver.
Another aircraft, donated by a
Denver flight operation and
capable of high altitude,
proceeded to the area and
attempted to locate the origin of
the ELT signals. Unfortunately,
like the two CAP planes, this aircraft was hampered in its efforts
by strong winds, severe turbulence, and up and down drafts

around the mountain peaks.
The Civil Air Patrol members
with their direction finding
radios were able to learn that
the signals most likely were not
coming from an area where
there were houses where an ELT
might have been accidently turned on. This only served to push
the CAP ground teams harder.
As the afternoon moved into
evening, reports of a missing
aircraft with five Coloradoans
on board came to Earl Berger,
wing emergency services officer
and mission coordinator. It was
not known if the missing plane
and the ELT were connected as
the Apache's destination was
thought to be Las Vegas, Nevada
and Fullerton, Calif., a
southwest direction, while the
E LT s i g n a l s w e r e d e fi n i t e l y
northwest of Longmont.
Despite the fact that it was
Christmas Eve, the Civil Air
Patrol ground personnel kept
going. Dan Alsum, acting as
coordinator in the field, set up
headquarters in his truck at the
base of Trail Ridge Road which
runs from the west to the east
side of Rocky Mountain National
Park.
From 10 p.m. until after 3 a.m.
Christmas morning, Colorado
Civil Air Patrol members Rick
Hopp, Don Niekirk, and Steve
Eckhoff and a National Park
Service ranger rode back and
forth in a NPS SnoCat trying to
DF the ELT signal near the top
of 10,750 Milner Pass. Because of
the darkness and numerous false
ELT signals, the ground team
returned to Dan Alsum's location to try and get some rest and
await daylight.
At first light Christmas morning the ground team started back
up the mountain. At the same
time Majs. Sonny Elgin and
Harvey Siegal left Denver in a
CAP Cessna 182. Elgin had been
in the borrowed twin the day
before and not only had an idea
of the ELT location but was
aware of the severe turbulence
in the area.
The ELT antenna had an article of clothing tied to it to attract

SEARCH TOLD -- Maj. Sonny Elgin, left, pilot of a Colorado
Wing search mission that saved the lives of four persons on
Christmas Day, tells the wing commander, Col. Roger
MacDonald, about flight maneuvers that had to be made during the search for emergency locator transmitter signals in
the mountainous terrain.

attention. However the wind
caught it and bent it toward high
ground. This coupled with the
fact that the plane had landed in
a snow bowl which acted like the
parabolic dish of a radar unit,
sending the ELT signals in many
different directions, made homing very difficult.

On the second pass over the
area, Elgin and Siegal spotted
the downed aircraft with
someone standing outside
waving. The time was 8:20 a.m.
Christmas day. "We knew we'd
found the plane," Harvey said,
"and that was a real Christmas
present."
Once the news reached mission headquarters at Judson's
Flying Service on the Longmont,
Colo. airport, it did not take long
for emergency equipment to be
on the move. A news helicopter
from KBTV Channel 9 television
in Denver was at mission headquarters and immediately
started toward the crash scene
carrying Steve Osborne, a CAP
member and rated emergency
medical technician. As Osborne
approached the downed plane

the pilot, talking through one of
the broken windows, said, "This
may sound a little strange, but
Merry.Christmas."
While Osborne did what he
could for the injured parties, the
Channel 9 helicopter airlifted
one of the girls back to the
hospital at Longmont. In the
meantime, helicopters from St.
Anthony's Hospital Flight for
Life program and the U.S. Army
were dispatched to pick up the
rest of the survivors. The pilot
and his three daughters were all
taken to Longmont hospital
where their condition was good
considering the ordeal. The girls
grandmother did not survive.

A great many people gave up
their Christmas eve and Christmas day because there was a
more important job to be done.
Christmas, anyway, isn't a day
or time, it is a feeling. It is helping and caring, and that is what
the Colorado Civil Air Patrol is
about.
The rescue of the four survivors while not easy was made
far less complicated because of
the assistance of the Rocky

Mountain Rescue and Alpine
Rescue. These two search and
rescue ground teams helped
evacuate the crash victims from
their downed plane to the
helicopters which had landed
some distance away.

Also on Christmas day, the
California Wing was credited
with the saving of two pei'sons
whose light aircraft crashed into
a wooded ridge near Cloverdale
two days earlier during a storm
when they experienced er~gine
problems.
Bob Watts, 31, who suffered
minor back injury and pilot Bill
Robinson, 38, who was uninjured, spent Sunday and Monday
in a shed before being spotted by
Civil Air Patrol members.
Maj. David Chapman, SM
Dale Asman, SM Russell Wise
and Cadet Nicolas Uyeg of the
Alta Comp. Sq. at Sultana airport participated in the mission.
The Colorado Wing was also
credited with two saves for
locating a missing C-172 in
Montrose County. The survivors
were recovered by the sheriff's
department.

Emergency Services'Is A CAP Role
By Maj. FRED AYOUB, USAF
HQ. CAP-USAF/DOSS
Let's widen the scope of the
SAR people column to include all
emergency services personnel
(ESP). The topic to open this
new title is CAP's wartime role.
AFR 46-5, "Employment of Civil
Air Patrol" states that upon
declaration of a national
emergency involving Civil
Defense, CAP may be asked to
perform both military and
civilian missions. Examples of
these missions are:
1. Air Radiological monitoring
2. Air Surveillance & Reconnaissance
3. Light air Transport
4. Courier services
5. Radio communications
These are very broad

categories and allow for a wide
variety of missions. Specific
tasking will be through the state
emergency operating center
(EOC).
CAP members have always
responded in the past and will
certainly support the country in
any future crisis. To help tie
plans together for the use of
CAP's assets, National Headquarters has been briefing USAF
major air commands and
responsible federal agencies
concerning CAP capabilities.
These agencies have responded
that they are very interested in
w h a t C A P h a s t o o ff e r, a n d
several have begun actions to incorporate CAP into their war
plans.
As we identify specific missions, associated training

with the various agencies is that
of total CAP resources. What is
available and how is it distributed throughout the country?
CAP National headquarters has
only a rough idea of the
emergency services capabilities.

program will be developed.
Wings desiring to participate in
these tasks will be trained, and
the tasks will be included on disaster relief evaluations. This entire process of identifying tasks,
training, etc., will go on continually as the needs of the
country and the capabilities of
CAP change.
One item which frequently
comes up in our conversations

Last year an attempt was
made to gather information on
your ES resources. While some
wings provided useful data, most
information was incomplete and
of little value. This year we will
again ask the wing for a list of
mission-ready emergency services personnel and equipment.
Your wing will be asking your
support in compiling this data.
Please assist them in these efforts. This information may help
your wing secure/retain state
support, and will help National
headquarters advise federal

agencies of CAP's value to the
Nation.
Of course the lnlrormatlon concerning your wing's capabilities
should be of immediate local use
for any ES mission. And there
are many state and local agencies which would be very interested in what you have to
offer.
In this regard, again, I urge you
to establish rapport with the
state and local agencies responsible for emergency services and
share his information with them.
The wings that have developed
cooperative relationships have
participated in more missions
and receive more support than
the wings which haven't. It is
clear that full cooperation with
state and local agencies can
provide significant benefits to
the CAP.

Wing Plans Survival School
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The
Tennessee Wing will sponsor a
Safety-Survival School April 1213, 1980, for the Southeast
Region, according to Maj. Jack
McGivney of wing headquarters.
The two-day program will be
conducted at the Camp Montvale
YMCA in Blount County for the
second year, though this is the
first time the school has been
offered regionwide. The
program has been held twice
before in the Tennessee Wing.
The schedule for the weekend
includes lectures and practical
application of the techniques discussed. The topics will be
aviation, safety, forced landing
procedures, administration of
first aid, shelter construction,
fire building and the use of

signaling devices.
The cost of the program has
tentatively been set at $10, but
may be upped to $12 if attendance is less than 100 persons.
This includes three hot meals,
Saturday lunch and supper and
Sunday breakfast. Quarters for
those attending will be at the
YMCA bunk house.
Reservations or further information may be obtained by contacting Tennessee Wing Headquarters at (615) 573-6186. Reservations will be limited to 140 persons on a first-come first-served
basis. Southeast Region members can obtain applications
from their wing headqu~i"f~'i's.~Diplomas will be awarded. The
$10 fee should be submitted with
the application.

award named in honor of Air
Force Col. Steven R. Neiley Jr.
who recently retired from the
Air Force after serving as
liaison officer to the Northeast

Region.
The award will be given each
year toa cadet in the region who
typifies the spirit of patriotism
and devotion to duty as exemplified by Neiley in his years
of service, said Liebner. He
stated that he believes that the
award will further the cadet
program of the region and
preserve the memory of Neiley.

New Locations For Encounter Conferences
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- Two
Air Force-sponsored Christian
Encounter Conferences will be
held this year, according to
Chaplain (Col.) Robert H.
B e c k l e y, C A P N a t i o n a l
Chaplain.
The 1980 conferences will be
conducted at two" locations -California Lutheran College,
Thousand Oaks, Calif., June 1620, and St. Andrews Presbyterian College, Laurinburg, N.C.,
Aug. 11-15.
"The conferences may pose
transportation problems for
most wings," Beckley said, "so
advance planning is necessary."
Because of rising costs and
limited space there will be room
for just 40 cadets at this activity.

Therefore, attendance will be
determined by a first-paid, firstcome basis. Those wanting to
participate should apply as soon
as possible.
"The Air Force has sponsored
these conferences for 28 years
and has again invited Civil Air
Patrol cadets and senior
members to participate this
summer," Chaplain Beckley
said.
The conferences are designed
to appeal to the youth who must
learn to cope with the demands
of today's society. Increased
attendance and participation
have attested to the increasing
popularity of these conferences.
The weeklong programs include presentations on relevant

issues and are followed by "encounter" sessions in small
groups. Opportunities are also
offered to participate in choral
groups, drama and folk music
rehearsals, interaction groups,
as well as swimming, tennis,
hiking and other sporting activities.
Commanders and directors of
CAP cadet programs should
keep in mind that the Christian
Encounter Conferences are a unique opportunity because each is
a week of religious renewal.
Cadets who have no desire to attend a religiously oriented type
program should not be selected.
A cadet who voluntarily selects a
Christian Encounter Conference
as an alternate activity may

attend, but in no case should
someone be directed to attend
just to fulfill a requirement.
Cadets and escorts may attend
either of the conferences,
depending on convenience, location and transportation. There
are no prerequisites such as
award achievement or physical
examination. Please contact
your wing liaison officer immediately for assistance or information on transportation.
Cadets must apply by submitting CAP Form 31 with a
registration fee of $30 no later
than 30 days prior to the beginning of the desired conference.
Added costs of inflation have

increased the amount to $30 this
year. (This is a change to what
was originally published in the
Civil Air Patrol News "Cadet
Special Activities" section,
December 1979). The application form should be mailed
directly to: National Chaplain,
HQ. CAP-USAF/HC, Maxwell
AFB, Ala. 36112.
Senior members who wish to
apply for escort duty must submit their applications on CAP
Form 70, together with a
registration fee of $30.
All applications will be
approved on a first-paid, firstcome basis at National Headquarters.

Florida Unit Hosts Bivouac

By Capt. PRESTON W. FOOTE
Brookfield Cadet Sq.
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. -- The
Brooksville Cadet Sq. commanded by Lt. Gloria Goehegan
hosted a three-day bivouac on a
recent weekend for the Citrus
County Comp. Sq. commanded
by Lt. Col. Fred W. Hess, who
also acted as bivouac commander. The training operation
is required for all CAP personnel
and was held at the CAP area of
the Hernando County Airport.
By 5:00 p.m: Friday, 41 CAP
Cadets commanded by Cadet
David Fogle, had built a tent
city. The command post was established and in communication
by walkie-talkie with the squad
readers in the field. Security was
established and then it was
supper time.
Now, have you ever seen 41
teenagers after three hours of
work scramble when a whistle
blows and someone hollers
"Let's eat!"?
However, the scramble was
orderly and very military as the
line passed the hot dogs, beans
and a stack of peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches. I had planned
to get a picture of the
sandwiches but by the time I got
squared away for a picture there
was one lonely sandwich -- and
guess who ate it? Will get you a

picture next time.
The training program for the
bivouac was excellent. Maj.
Arlyn Sukert gave a program on
aerospace that was extremely
interesting and he found that our
Brooksville cadets were above
average on the subject. Other
subjects covered were search
and rescue, map reading, first
aid, leadership and management
and moral leadership. We are
sure our cadets benefited by this

bivouac and will be enriched by
the leadership and character
building training they received.
The bivouac was visited by Lt.
Col. Joseph V. Lill, CAP sector
c o m m a n d e r, L t . C o l . K . R .
McMahon of the Sun Coast Sr.
Sq., Maj. Arthur Trinque of the
Pinellas Sr.Sq., SM Peggy Jones
was ground administrative
technician and Maj. Marion
Hess, executive officer of Citrus
Comp. S,q. was mess officer.

Search Rescues Man
By Lt. Col. JOHN MeNABB
Pennsylvania Wing
There is today living a 34-yearold man who, if it were not for
our teams, would be dead. Over
100 cadets and seniors from
Groups 10, 20, 30, 80, 90 and 1100
took part in the mission. When
was the last time you have seen
that large a turnout from CAP?
On Saturday, Nov. 17, Andrew
Sweeney left home near Glen
Lyon, Pa., to go hunting alone.
He never returned. Local
firemen searched on Sunday.
That evening, State Police called
Lt. Col. Hubert Waskovich. He
assumed the post of mission
coordinator after the number
was issued by Air Rescue. Capt.
Hubert Waskovich, his son,
began to alert the ranger teams
of which he is a member,
Teams started arriving in the
area during the night, and early
Monday morning the search
began. Teams were assigned to
areas,
Soon after noon, a team from
Group 20 found the victim alive.
He was about 200 feet down a
mine breather shaft. Andrew
Sweeney was trapped, but alive

GENERAL PRESENTS AWARD -- Lt. Gen. Stanley M. Umstead Jr., right, commander of
Air University at Maxwell AFB, Aia., presents Cadet Charles H. Gaffes Jr., of the Southeast
Region Headquarters with the Gen. Carl A. Spaatz Award. Gaffes was recently promoted to
senior captain and serves as director of cadet activities for the region.

and well. Now the real task
began -- to get him out. Five of
our black belts took on the task
of going straight down after him.
The shaft was 30 feet wide at the
top, but narrowed as it went
down. The victim was on a ledge
six by eight feet. If he moved, it
was another 3004oot fall to the
bottom of the mine. There was a
considerable risk to the lives of
the rescuers who were going
down.
Using the rappelling and
climbing techniques taught at
Hawk Mountain, they went
down. Utilizing a pulley system,
they were able to bring him out.
It was over a mile to the
nearest road and casualty
evacuation was called for. This
meant carrying a stretcher with
the victim over a 70-foot cliff and
over rough mountainous terrain.
Teams set up a casualty evacuation line to accomplish this, just
as they have been trained. A
navigation team led the way to
make sure the road was found.
Members of the team were
Capts. Hubert Waskovich and Ed
Leidy, and Lieutenants Harry
Williams, Mike Kindness and
Donnie Wiers.
