The ﬂight took off from Washington National Airport and terminated at Meigs Field,
Chicagu. The plan called for a ﬂight of just over
three hours for the 600-mile course. Due to an unexpected headwind of 40 knots, the actual time
was 3 hours. 43 minutes and 15 seconds, an
average speed of 158.3 miles per hour.

Region Commanders Optimistic About Reaching Goals
N AT I O N A L H E A D Q U A R T E R S
~The ﬁrst Region Commanders
Conference, held last month at National Headquarters, ended on a
deﬁnite note of optimism regarding
CAP's ability to achieve its longrange goals.
C o l . P a u l C . A s h w o r t h , U S A F,
n a t i o n a l c o m m a n d e r, w h o m e t i n
closed session with CAP's eight
region commanders, termed the
meeting a step in the right direction to implement present plans
and programs.
"I am greatly impressed with
the spirit of cooperation, understanding, and the friendly atmosphere which dominated the meeting," he stated. "This is the ﬁrst
time a national commander has had
a meeting of region commanders
as a means of putting emphasis
on the implementing machinery
for CAP plans and programs."
He pointed out that adoption of
plans and establishing of policies
is the function of the National
Board and National Executive
Committee. "The main problem,"
he said, "is to set those plans and
policies in motion."
"The national commander and
the region and wing commanders
are the implementing machinery of
C A P, " C o l . A s h w o r t h d e c l a r e d .
"This is the one purpose of the
meeting--to ﬁnd ways and means
to set in motion the programs and
plans already adopted."

status quo is not good enough; that
CAP must show progress.
" I s t r o n g l y f e e l , h o w e v e r, t h a t
over the past several years CAP
has gained a ﬁrmer organization,
administration, and more capable
staffs, and now has more reliable
statistics," he said. "I believe that
CAP is today on a much more solid
foundation from which to achieve
its goals."
Col. Ashworth pointed out two
speciﬁc reasons for urgency:
Develop the unlimited potent i a l i n C A P.
A fair return on the Air Force
investment:
In speaking of the unlimited
potential existing in Civil Air
Patrol, it was pointed out that,

longs to CAP.
While it is true that CAP more
than doubled the number of Air
Force authorized search and rescue
missions ﬂown last year over 1960,
this endeavor represents only one
ﬁeld of CAP activity of interest
to the Air Force.
"The region commanders are the
people in our organization," he
declared, "that I am charging with
the job of implementing CAP programs within their regions."

staff, and guests.
During the open meeting, Col.
Harold A. Wicklund, USAF, director of cadet training, outlined
problems confronting planning of
the cadet summer activities prog r a m f o r t h i s y e a r.
He mentioned some of' the difﬁculties encountered in setting
ﬁrm dates for some activities because of conﬂicts with Air Force
training plans, indicating, however,
that dates were being worked out
satisfactorily.
Col, Wieklund brieﬂy covered
a new proposal concerning the
International Air Cadet Exchange. The proposal would allocate an additional 1ACE candidate space to each wing se.
lected to host a foreign country.
The extra space would be in addition to the assigned quota, and
would permit one more CAP cadet
to go on the exchange, thus providing an additional incentive for
wings to host foreign contingents.
The approved plan will go into effect in 1963.

former ROTC Battle Group, his
leadership and organizational ability are highly respected.

and
its 54 members.
Commanded by Lt. Richard Baylis, a former P-51
ﬁghter pilot, Squadron 35 has an impressive ﬂight line.
Squadron and member-owned aircraft include: 10 T-6s,
4 BT-18s, 1 Ryan PT-22, 1 Stinson Station Wagon, 1
0-47B, 1 T-28, 1 UC-48, 1 Ercoupe, and 1 Tri-Pacer. At
resent two BT-13s are undergoing engine changes from
-985s to R-1340s, increasing horsepower from 450 to
600, boosting rate of climb in mountain areas where the
unit ﬂies.
Air crews proudly wear their own "Ridge Runner"
patches on theii- Navy-type orange ﬂight suits. All crew
members wear hard hats and chutes, and have "on-self"
survival gear, in addition to carrying well-stocked aircraft
survivor kits.
The San Fernando Airport Senior Squadron No. 85
was activated in 1957. Equipment consisted of two BT-13s
and a Cessna 140. Goal of the unit was to form a search
squadron with aircraft of higher horsepower and range
to cope with high mountains and extended areas of desert.
BT-13 owners were signed up, and soon ﬁve BT "Vibrators" thundered about the Sierras (from 14,000 ~eet
down) and across the Mojave Desert. In 1958, the squadron acquired 10 SNJs (T-6s) from the Navy. These were
ﬂown to San Fernando, inspected, certiﬁed, and put to
work searching.
During 1961, pilots of No. 35 ﬂew 61 sorties on 14
~earch missions, with a total ﬂying hour score of 785.
The "round engine" pilots of Sq tdron 85 are an eager lot.
At the slightest hint of an S.O.S. there's a mad dash for
the ﬂight line, a sudden blending of roaring engines-and it's another "Squadron 35 Scramble" with 21 props

part in the contest voiced the opinion that it was one of the
best they had ever attended.
The contest was only three minutes old when Charles Olson
brought in the ﬁrst ﬁsh and won an electric lantern.
The smallest ﬁsh was a 13-oz. northern pike. This won a
minnow bucket. The largest northern, 5 lbs. 1 oz., earned a
camp stove.
The contest came to a close Just before the worst part
of the blizzard arrived in the area.

Smith, in making his presentation, pointed out that, though the
League had experienced great
success in the past, it must beware
of complacency that frequently
follows success. When he assumed
ofﬁce he asked the provincial chairmen to re-evaluate their committees and the procedures and
methods under which they were
operating, with a view to preparing a forceful program for future

AFTER RECEIVING reports of
the results of these studies the
following three points were highlighted: (a) encourage cadets to
develop the attributes of good
citizenship; (b) stimulate in Air
Cadets an interest in aviation and
space technology; and (e) help Air
Cadets to develop a high standard
of physical ﬁtness, mental alertness, and discipline.
Smith said, "I believe that the
objectives as outlined above offer
a clear and concise statement of
the reasons why there is an Air
Cadet League in Canada, and I also
believe that it is the duty of each
and every one of us to see that
these objectives are made known
not only to the other members of
our organization but to the cadets,
themselves, their parents, and the
Canadian public at large."
The president was high in his
praise of all the past presidents,
