UPON successful completion of
the FAA written exam, glider students received three hours of training in powered aircraft to become
familiar with banks, stalls and
turns under various power conditions to "get the feel" of ﬂying
before soaring aloft in powerless
Schweizer 2-22 gliders. Two glider courses, lasting two weeks each,
were conducted at each of the
three sites and students ﬂew for
nearly nine hours during which
time they performed approximately 35 aerotow ﬂights.

1967 Scholarship Applications -- National Headquarters plans
to revise CAPP 20 "CAP Academic Scholarships and Grants"
early this year, if possible by late summer. This early publication
date is necessary so that scholarships and grants for the 1967-68
school year can be awarded before National Headquarters transfers to Maxwell AFB, Ala., next spring, ha addition to outlining
CAP's 1967 scholarship program, the revised CAPP 20 will contain
the following three major changes in application procedures: (1)
application must he at National by February 15; (2) partial
transcripts of credits that do not include 1966-67 grades will be
accepted, and (3) applications may be submitted without a letter
of acceptance from a college, however, this teeter must be provided
when the scholarship is accepted.
CAP AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE -- About 15 percent of CAP
aircraft and vehicle accidents have been caused by faulty materiel
and poor or no maintenance. These accidents could have been completely eliminated. CAP aircraft must be maintained in accordance

IT WAS back to school for the cadets attending the three ﬂying encampments. All instructors
at the sites were fully accredited Federal Aviation Agency instructors.For each hour of ﬂying
the cadets had to spend the same amount of time in the classroom.

cadets worked as hard as the boys in order to earn their solo

Inclement Weather Fails
To Dampen Region Fly-in

SEPTEMBER, 1965
Girls Exchange

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.--Rain and overcasted skies failed to dampen the efforts of the
Northeast Region as it kicked off its Silver Anniversary celebration with a mass ﬂy-in
at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC) of the Federal Aviation
Agency here.
The light drizzle that hit the
landing ﬁeld in the morning and
the overcast that lingered into the
mid-afternoon only provided a
cooler for the otherwise aviation
minded gathering.

Despite the weather, 150 aircraft
from throughout the region, some
from as far away as Maine Wing,
converged on the ﬁeld. Planes
without two-way radio were required to land at nearby Bader
Field.
Besides the 150 pilots, more than
500 guests, many uf whom represented other ﬂying organizations
--Aircraft Owners Pilots Association, Air Line Pilots Association
and Flying Farmers--were represented.
One of the many highlights durIng the day was the awarding of
the Applegarth Foundation Scholarship.
In t962, Capt. Rufus Applegarth,
a member of both the Pennsylvania and Ne~.. Jersey wings, set
up a special scholarship fund for
cadets from the two wings.

[ : !!iiiiiiiii!ii?;i:iiii:i!!i:: :.

Learning Young

UNDER the procedures of the
Foundation, thc recipient will be
alternated between the two wings.
During eve,1 numbered years, New
Jersey will receive the scholarship
and during odd-numbered years,
the recipient will be from Pennaylvania.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD Matthew Shore, son of Dr. (WO) Irving Shore,
Pennsylvania Wing, tries the seat of a Civil Air Patrol plane
on for size. Assisting the future pilot is Cadet Gregory Cuttic
of Linden Composite Squadron, New Jersey. The activity took
place during the Northeast Region ﬂy-in at Atlantic City, N.J.

According to Col. N. A. Spears,
New Jersey Wing commander, this
is believed to be the largest single
scholarship available to CAP
cadets. Although it is listed as
$1,000 per year, it is designed to
carry the ind,vidual through his
graduate study years, including
doctorate. The total amount of life
scholarship can be as high as
$7000 Colonel Spears explained.

After being greeted upon their
arrival here aboard an Air Force

During a banquet at the famous
Finneytown Inn, the visitors also
were welcomed by members of the
