The major disadvantage of the airports was the lack of weather ser-

CAP's jab was clear -- to man

the actual logging of all aircraft

and other services. Seniors were
employed in supervisory jobs, and
as consultants to departing pilots.
During the weekend-long mission, several hundred aircraft
operations were logged and reported to FAA and approximately 60 race spectators' aircraft
made use of the CAP services.

Aerial Monitoring
CAP Capt. Clyde Benefield, Hays Composite
Squadron, checks radiation level readings determined while on aerial monitoring flight. He
is one of 60 Kansas Wing members qualified
as aerial monitors as the result of the state
CD instruction program. Wing crews flew
about 25 sorties for nearly 35 flying hours
during the exercise.

of disaster. The simulated proble~n involved nuclear
blasts at Wichita and Colby.
Sub-bases of operation were located at Olathe, Hays
and Strother Field, near Arkansas City. The latter had
to be moved to Chanute because of simulated heavy radiation.
CAP Capt. Toby Elster was mission coordinator at
the wing command post set up in the State CD office in
Topeka, under direction of Ray Hazard, CD field officer.
and Warren Paramore, assistant state CD director. In
charge of the entire CAP operation was CAP Col. Charles
W. Matthis Jr., wing commander.
As soon as weather permitted, CAP planes were in
the air, with crews checking traffic along civilian evacuation routes and flying needed medicines and medical
personnel to "disaster-stricken" areas.
In actual disasters of this nature, crews would measure radiation levels to guide ground personnel in assisting local authorities and in helping to evacuate survivors. This was the first time a wing has attempted aerial
monitoring on a state-wide basis, according to Robert
O. Butler, state CD training officer.

Making Report :
Checking for Contamination
IMMEDIATELY after returning from aerial monitoring flight, Captain Benefield, on wing, and plane are
checked for radiation. Any radiation detected necessitates an an-the-spot decontamination by a special crew.
The same precaution is taken on each plane and crew returning from a flight into "disaster" areas. More than
200 wing personnel, from all parts of Kansas participated in the operation, using 22. private and two corporatea w n e d

I Crew Locates Target in Mission I
HENDERSON, N.C.--Civil Air Patrol squadrons from
Eastern North Carolina gathered recently at Kinston,
1N.C, to participate in the wing search and rescue effectiveness test. To encourage more units to attend and
to lessen travel distances, two operating bases were established--one at Kinston, the other at Salisbury.
The simulated problem for Kinston-based units centered around the search for a student pilot who had
|nadvertantly ejected from a T-33 jet trainer on a flight
from Cherry Point Marine Air Station, N.C., to Fort
Knox, Ky. The instructor pilot had stayed with the
aircraft and was also missing. CAP units at Salisbury
aearched for the pilot.
Mission coordinator for the eastern half of the state
was CAP Lt. Col. R. B. Hester, Group VII commander.
CAP Lt. Col. D. T. Lilley, commander of Group II,
served as commander of the Kinston base and arranged
for fuel, quarters for cadets and use of the field and
performed necessary Jobs for efficient ground support
Shortly after the mission commenced at 9 a.m. Saturday, a route search was flown from New Bern, N.C.,
to Burlington, N.C., and ramp checks were made at all
airports along the T-33 route. The main search effort

was concentrated 30 miles on each side of the flight
path. Aircraft arriving at the base were assigned search
areas as soon as they were fueled and crews briefed.
Search results were negative the first day and the
mission was suspended at 4 p.m., Saturday, but at 9
a.m. Sunday operations resumed and continued until
mid-afternoon, when the target, a strategically placed
parachute, was located about three miles northeast of
Magnolia, N.C.
Credited with spotting the tar'get were CAP WO
L. C. Woodcock, pilot, and CAP Lt. W. W. Ayscue,~observer. A mobile radio unit was dispatched to the
scene to affect the rescue.
During the two-day mission, 46 missions were flown
in 11 corporate and 11 private aircraft from the Kinston
base for a total of 90 hours. Also, 12 surface vehicles
and 12 mobile radio units were pressed into service at
the eastern base, where 168 CAP members were available for search and rescue duty.
Colonel Hester expressed pleasure that during the
entire two days of the mission, except for a couple st
cut fingers, there were no accidents involving personnel, aircraft or vehicles.

proficiency cards include Capt. Dave Taylor,
unit commander and a rated CAP pilot; WO
Dave Thompson, squadron communications officer and technical engineer for KKTV in Colorado Springs; and SM Eugene Cardinal, assistant to Thompson. The Air Academy unit is on
the air from 6 to 9 p.m. each Tuesday and
Wednesday. (Air Academy Composite Squadron photo)
Seven senior members and 40 cadets participated in the
exercise.
CAP Capt. Charles Carrillo, cadet commander, and
Cadet Commandant Cl~arles Tinkins, also a Marine ser-~ .... -~
geant at El Tore Marine Base, directed the SAR operations under the supervision of CAP capt. de Montalvo,
squadron commander.
"Survivors" in four separate first aid and rescue
exercises were SSgts. Nita Holloway, Dave Martin and
Tonkins and WO Lee Hoakland, all senior members,
and Cadets Paul Flocken and Carrillo.
Cadets received valuable instruction and training in
setting up a base camp, first aid techniques, field communications, field sanitation, air rescue and survival.

1943 when she joined the Women's
A i r f o r c e S e r v i c e P i l o t s ( WA S P ) .
This was a civilian corps made up
of women pilots who in World War
1I performed certain noncombat
military flying operations for the
Army Air Corps. While a member
of this organization, she was able
to complete her ground school and
bad just begun her flying training when the WASP program was
disbanded in 1944.
She later resumed her flight
training and obtained her private
pilot's license. The lieutenant has
log~ed flying time in numerous
airplanes, including the T-34.
In private life, Lieutenant Noltensmeyer is the wife of CAP Lt.
D . E . N o l t e n s m e y e r, w h o a l s o

the boys is a former CAP cadet
who is now studying at the Air

Springs, Colo.
In addition to being housewife,
mother and pilot, Lieutenant Noltensmeyer is also a successful businesswoman. She is co-owner of the
Sandia Composition Service located
in Albuquerque.
Other special interests of this
sir-minded woman are sports and
crafts. She makes her home with
her family in Cedar Crest, N.M.

of the program have been well received by both cadets and seniors
during past years. However, there
is a social side of the Jet Orientation Course.

Air Force fighter pilots, one
a former commander of Nellis Air Force Base and the
other the present commander,
renewed acquaintances at a luncheon at the Dunes Hotel before 450
CAP delegates attending the Pacific Region conference.
Brig. Gen. Frank K. "Pete"
Everest Jr., USAF, present commander of Nellis, and guest speaker for the conference was introduced by Col. Joe L. Mason, USAF,
who commanded Nellis from 194951 and who is now national commander of CAP.
General Everest told his Las
Vegas audience that nearby Nellis
was "also in the gambling business."
"We bet on turning out the best
fighter pilots in the world--and
INSPECTIONS are how you we're way ahead of the game," he
look at them. Above, Cadet declared. "Civil Air Patrol defiJohnny Burke shines his shoes nitely contributes to this effort,

Commanders

GENERAL Everest discussed the
search and rescue effort in support
of the war in Vietnam where he
recently flew three combat missions.
"The Air Force is doing a great
job," he said, "but the rescue service is really outstanding. They are
making more than 80 per cent of
the pickups. CAP can be proud
of its search and rescue efforts in
the States, and to me, it is the
most important mission of CAP."
Warrant Officer Judith Ann Immele, Moses Lake Composite
Squadron, Washington Wing, received a standing ovation from the
delegates when introduced by Colonel Mason as CAP's entry in the
Powder Puff Derby. Warrant Ofricer Immele joined the cadet program at age 13, served as a cadet
lieutenant colonel, and later became a senior member.
With 200 hours of flying time
and flying a Cessna 182 Skylane

Wing, she will attempt the Powder
Puff Derby race from Tacoma,
Wash., to Clearwater, Fla., July

Oliver of wing headquarters. SM
