Annual National Association

National champion is C/WO
Frederick Miller III, son of CAP
Capt. and Mrs. Frederick Miller
Jr. of Wilbraham, Mass. Using a
special technique Cadet Miller
was able to launch his
low-powered model rocket and
recover it nearest the established
target to capture first place in
the Leader Division for 17 to
21-year-old competitors.
The actual distance measured
from the nose cone of his model
to the target was 22 feet, 9
inches in the event termed
"Open Spot Landing" by NAR
officials.

by loyal volunteer members,
Hansen said his proposal .that
corporations, businesses and
individuals participate
financially would "provide a
needed source of revenue."
There is no direct dollar
support of CAP by federal
agencies or the Department of
Defense' except for certain
s e m i - o b s o l e t e a i r c r a f t and
equipment, he said.

According to the Hansen
plan, persons flying aircraft or
having anything to do with
flying of aircraft will be given an
opportunity to support CAP
through these new classes of
membership.
In the plan, Hansen said,
businesses, scheduled carriers,
su ppliers, manufacturers and
private operators "could support
activities of the CAP at a cost
to
their
directly related
exposure."
The Hansen plan, for an
industry such as Mack, calls for a

Airlift- A Chronic Problem

SALUTE
by Brig. Gen. F. Ward Reilly

I)v Brig. Gcn. Richard N. Ellis
Last November when 1 became National

support for CAP activities was already known
,to me. This morning marks my I lth month in
:that office and sometimes i believe the
icomplaints have increased daily.
~, 1 think it's time we put
our heads together and put a
stop to them.
ALL of us in Civil Air
!Patrol have got to face facts
on this subject. We've got to
:make certain that
everyone-from the oldest
senior to the newest
cadet-kn6ws and appreciates these facts. It's
equally important that parents of our cadets
have a full understanding. If they don't, they
can be embarrassed by writing letters to
congressmen denouncing the Air Force and
then learn that their complaints were
unfounded.
I can assure you that very few of the letters
of complaint received were based on fact. It has
now reached the point where gross
misunderstandings; garbled words;
misconceptions and erroneous information have
reached embarrassing proportions.
I find it especially disturbing when the Air
Force-as frequently happens-is not only
criticized, but sometimes outright maligned. In
my opinion-and I'll tell you why in a
moment-the Air Force has done a creditable
job in providing airlift for a multitude of CAP
activities.
Let me make it clear that l am not here to
defent the Air Force position in this
matter...no defense is needed! USAF support
has been 'nothing short of
remarkable-especially in these days of
critically reduced flying hours, aircraft
shortages, global commitments, a shooting war
in Southeast Asia, and the present period of
super-austerity.
But even these, and other roadblocks, did
not stop the Air Force from continuing its
massive airlift for CAP's Summer Programs.
In a three-month period just ended, USAF
flew 4.5 million passenger miles. They were in
the air 2,500 hours to support CAP and you
can double these hours for ground time. This
included transportation, billeting, scheduling,
maintenance, and everything else needed to get
them there and back safely.
And how about the lACE of 19707 It was
CAP's biggest to-date. We hear much about this
wonderful youth motivation program which
sent American youngsters to 27 countries,
while 204 foreign cadets came to this nation.
What we don't hear is that the Air Force
made it possible. I don't say "assists," or
"helps," or "supports,"-I say USAF makes it
possible.

This year alone, USAF carved 150 thousand
dollars out of its already lean and plucked
budget to make CAP's hopes for its biggest
1ACE in history become a reality. While none
of the complaints were related to 1ACE, it
seems appropriate to remind ourselves of the
total airlift support picture...and certainly the
giant USAF role in that worthwhile program
should be made a matter of public record.
Let me return to the hardnosed facts which !
mentioned earlier. This is the straight scoop
which all CAP members must know. The
regulation governing airlift support to Civil Air
Patrol is AF Reg 76-6. This is the law; this is
the bible; but not only for CAP, but for all
agencies who look to USAF for such assistance.
In essence, CAP airlift may be PERMITTED. It
cannot be obligated! It has never been
obligatory for USAF to airlift Civil Air Patrol
personnel.
This means that CAP travel must be on a
space available basis. The truth is that USAF
cannot-by law-schedule an aircraft to
transport a group of cadets to a special activity,
or a panel of senior members to a seminar-or
whatever! The term "space available" should be
self-explanatory, but seems to require frequent
discussion. Let me give it to you in a nut shell!
If an Air Force aircraft is going from point "A"
to point "B" and there is room aboard, it is
known as space available. If a CAP member is
also at point "A", if he has official orders
stating he is on CAP business which requires his
presence at point "B"-or in the area-then he
may fly on that aircraft.
That's the story. These are the facts. There
are a few exceptions but generally speaking, all
CAP airlift, except lACE operations mentioned
earlier, must be in the space available category.
It's not new. The regulation has been in effect
for many years.
Some may wonder-in the light of these
restrictions-how on earth was our substantial
airlift over the years made possible.

Salute: Exchange of greetings with expression of
courtesy and respect between men of goodwill, shrouded
in the mysteries of the Age of Chivalry, preserved through
the years for freemen but denied to slaves and knaves, is a
heritage of which we can be justly proud and entrusted
with its preservation.
Therefore, as I reach the end of my tour of
active duty in this great Organization I have been
privileged to serve, I salute with pride the
courageous men and women of Civil Air Patrol and
the United States Air Force.
To o o f t e n w e a r e a p t t o r e - c o u n t o u r
contributions over the ),ears, in terms of time,
effort, and resources, overlooking our greatest
reward in the satisfaction of contributing to the
welfare of our fellowman and our Great Country to which we all
owe so much, confirming the saying: "We enjoy life by the help and
society of others."
You are aware of the principles for which 1 stand, expressed in
this column during the terms of office I have been privileged to serve
as your chairman. I am gfatefnl for your commendations and the
silence of the dissenters. We are bound by the fundamental
principles of Duty, Honor, Country, and nothing in our volunteer
status relieves us of these sacred obligations. Our past is a matter of
record, both commendable and regrettable. The future depends
upon the character of our membership and leadership. Civil Air
Patrol must subscribe to goals that will result in a prestigious
Organization, otherwise we will face a grim future.
It is essential that we not tolerate conflict of personalities and
that there be neither fear nor favor in our ranks. Mission
accomplishment is our purpose and our goal. To this end we must all
pledge our dedicated effort.
Our new organizational structure, criteria for membership and
officer grade has been designed to accommodate thos¢ now in the
Organization and to require higher standards for those seeking
membership in the future. This is a long range upgrading plan to
reach the first plateau some years down the road, and then to be
elevated to acceptable standards of the times and Services.
The dedicated members of Civil Air Patrol will support the
program, the dissenters may become a part of our attrition. So long
as we base our Organization on standards of quality we will have no
difficulty in attracting those of quality for membership. Fads and
fancies, hairy or shaggy, will come and go and only the fundamental
principles to which we have dedicated our services will endure.
With these thoughts, I wish you one and all Godspeed for a great
future for Civil Air Patrol and may your rewards be great.

IT WASN'T EASY!
Air Force Personnel-and many others in Air
Reserve Components-made it possible by a
maximum effort. Not just the commanders, or
the pilots, co-pilots, navigators, crew chiefs,
aircraft engineers who were directly concerned,
it took an extra effort on the part of operations
clerks, mechanics, Ioadmasters, drivers,
communications, billeting non-coms, food
service airmen. All these-and more-at bases
across the country have had a part in giving full
support to Civil Air Patrol.
They have earned a pat-on-the-back from
all-but instead, they're getting criticized from
a few.
Let's straighten those few out by giving
them the facts.

significant single activity of the
organization other than flying is
locating, buying and stocking a

By hunting them in obscure

organization has been able to
accumulate an appreciable stock
of parts ranging from canopy

Unfortunately, this stock is

Arizona Wing Rescues Three Fliers
PHOENIX--A wisp of smoke
showing its way into a thick
ground haze led Arizona Wing
Group III searchers to the
crumbled wreckage of a light
plane--and three m e n w h o
survived the crash.
Twenty.five hours after the
light plane, with three Air Force
men aboard, took off from Deer
Valley airport north of Phoenix
searchers spotted the plane.
The pilot of the rented
aircraft, 1st Lt. Ronald Sharek,
of Kansas City, Kan., and a
p a s s e n g e r, 2 n d L t . D e n n i s
Dobkowski, of North
Hollywood, Calif., were
uninjured.
A n o t h e r p a s s e n g e r, A 1 C
David A. Leisering, of Fon Du
Lac, Wise., was injured in the
crash and was evacuated by
helicopter after the CAP
searchers called in paramedics
who made a rescue jump to the
downed aircraft.
Sharek took off on a
sightseeing tour about 8 a.m.
Aug. 1, but searchers were not
notified until the middle of the
afternoon that the plane was
overdue.

Search Coordinator, Lt. Col.
J. B. Gotcher, diverted seven
CAP aircraft ferrying visiting
Canadian Air Cadets on a tour of
the Grand Canyon so they could
search the area where Sharek
reported he would be flying.
The cadets climbed off the
diverted aircraft when they
arrived back in Phoenix and
observers and pilots flew another
series of sorties before night
grounded the planes.
Gotcher sent his first plane
and crew--a Stinson piloted by
2nd Lt. John Tyler and observer
CWO Mark Monday--into a
canyon-cut area near Oak Creek.
Tyler made an east to west
pass over the grid and turned for
a runback. "They must have
heard us make that first pass,"
he said, "and were ready for us
the second time around."
A campfire-like puff of
smoke rose into the hazy air on
the left and Tyler started a tight
turn. The crumbled Cessna 177
and a man (Sharek) came into
view at the same time.
"He started waving to us. It
sure felt good to see someone
moving on the ground there,"
said Tyler.

Tyler climbed to radio for
rescue aircraft and a helicopter
from Luke AFB. But the radio
failed and after five minutes
Tyler called. "frustrating" he
signalled the man on the ground
that he had been sighted and
headed for Prescott airport to
use the phone.
"I hated to leave then. But all
I could see was one man moving.
It wasn't going to do us any
good to orbit the crash site. We
had to get tile word out," im
added.
Tyler called in the location of
the downed aircraft, hidden
among trees, and then returned
to the crash site where im
directed in an HU-16 Albatross
from the 302nd Aerospace
Rescue and Recovery Unit at
Luke. Inexplicably the radio was
working again.
"The pilot could have put out
his paramedics on that first
pass," said Tyler's observer. "Lt.
Tyler had had them corrected
right over the crash on the first
pass."
The paramedics made their
jump on the second pass,
instead, and found Leisering
injured and Sharek.

Dobkowski had begun a 20
mile walk to help over rough
country earlier and arrived in
Williams, Ariz. an hour after
Tyler reported the find.
Sharek and Dobkowski were
evacuated ~o Luke AFB by
helicopter, Leisering was taken
to Prescott hospital for
treatment.
Hard on the track of the
maximum effort for the three
airmen, Group lII pilots were
flying sorties in southern
Arizona four days later when

two teenage boys were reported
to have taken a plane from the
aero club at Davis Monthan
Airbase.
Ti~e youths, 15 and 16, filed
a flight plan for a local flying
session but failed to return.
. For five days Group IIl pilots
and observers spun an aerial web
over most of southern Arizona
in a ~'ain search for the
youngsters. They were later
reported safe after their plane
crashed in Mexico, the Federal

MAXWELL AFB, Ala.-The Air Force Academy
Preparatory School, Colorado Springs, Colo., has
again allocated up to three slots for Civil Air Patrol
cadets interested in a military career as an Air Force
officer.
The next classes at the school will begin in August
1971.
Applications for an "appointment to the Prep
School must be received at CAP National
Headquarters between Dec., 1, 1970, and Jan. 10,
1971.
The school is designed primarily to prepare and
motivate its students for the Air Force Academy but
graduation from the Prep School does not
automatically guarantee an appointment to the
Academy.
The curriculum is designed to prepare those
attending to compete on Academy entrance
examinations and to succeed as an Academy cadet.
Instruction is divided into four areas-English,
mathematics, military and physical training with
intensive instruction in English and math to prepare
for College Entrance Examination Board tests and for
the academic program at the Academy.
The academic program begins on the high school
level and proceeds rapidly to college level material.
All instructors are Air Force officers.
CAP cadets interested in appointment to the Prep
School must fulfill the following general
requirements:
Must be male, at least 17 but not over 21 ; must be
single and never have been married; must be a United
States citizen; and must have earned the Amelia
Earhart Award.

Pot Pourri
by 1st LI. John D. .llc)lalton
MAXWELL AFB, Ala.--The National Executive Committee has
approved a five-year moratorium on major structural and conceptual
changes to the modified cadet program. We are thankful and it looks
like we are going to need every minute of it to get people properly
briefed and indoctrinated.
We have proof that CAP people have more imagination and
ingenuity than any other group in the country. All one has to do is
monitor the achievement contracts and achievement packet orders
coming to National Headquarters.
We are inclined to believe that people do not read the published
guidance--rather we know it. How can they go so far wrong in so
many ways?
You cannot bulk order for cadets--one achievement packet per
order, with the mailing label made out to the cadet's address.
You cannot mimeograph contract forms and send them in for
achievement credit. To enter the modified program, an achievement
packet must be ordered.
You cannot finagle so that cadets can get credit for achievements
under the old program without taking the aerospace education test.
Quit trying to find shortcuts and help us maintain standards!
We are going to be hardnosed and send orders and contracts back
to you if they are not right.

Flying Different
In Mountains
Yo u r fi r s t e x p e r i e n c e o f fl y i n g o v e r m o u n t a i n o u s t e r r a i n ,
particularly if most of your flight time has been over the fiatlands of
the Midwest, could be a never-to-be forgotten nightmare if proper
planning is not done and if you are not aware of the potential
hazards awaiting. Those familiar section lines are not present in the
mountains; those fiat, level fields for forced landings are practically
non.existent; abrupt changes in wind direction and velocity occur;
severe updrafts and downdrafts are common, particularly near or
above abrupt changes of terrain such as cliffs or rugged areas; even
the clouds look different and can build up with startling rapidity.
Mountain flying need not be hazardous if you follow the
recommendations below.
1. File a flight plan. Plan your route to avoid topography which
would prevent a safe forced landing. The route should be over
populated areas and well-known mountain passes. Sufficient altitude
should be maintained to permit gliding to a safe landing in the event
of engine failure.
2. Don't fly a light aircraft when the winds aloft, at your
proposed altitude, exceed 35 miles per hour. Expect the winds to be
of much greater velocity over mountain passes than reported a few
miles from them. Approach mountain passes with as much altitude
as possible. Downdrafts of from 1500 to 2000 feet per minute are
not uncommon on the leeward side.
3. Don't fly near or above abrupt changes in terrain. Severe
turbulence can be expected, especially in high wind conditions.
4. Some canyons run into a dead-end. Don't fly so far up a
canyon that you get trapped. ALWAYS BE ABLE TO MAKE A
180-DEGREE TURN !
5. Plan your trip for the early morning hours. As a rule, the air
starts to get bad at about 10 a.m., and grows steadily worse until
around 4 p.m., then gradually improves until dark. Mountain flying
at night in a single engine light aircraft is asking for trouble.
6. When landing at a high altitude field, the same indicated
airspeed should be used as at low elevation fields. REMEMBER: that
due to the less dense air at altitude, this same indicated airspeed
actually results in a higher true airspeed, a faster landing speed, and
more important, a longer landing distance. During gusty wind
conditions Which often prevail at high altitude fields, a power
approach and power landing is recommended. Additionally, due to
the faster groundspeed, your takeoff distance will increase
considerably over that required at low altitudes.

As the auxiliary of the U.S.

tasked with making CIRVIS

reports. CIRVIS is the short title
for Communications
Instructions Reporting Vital
Intelligence Sightings. These are
reports of intelligence sightings
of vital importance to the
security of the United States and
Canada.
CIRVIS reports are limited to
information of vital importance
to the security of the United
States or Canada which in the
opinion of the observer require
very urgent defensive or
investigative action by U.S. or
Canadian Armed Forces.
Typicalsightings that should
be reported are hostile or
unidentified aircraft, missiles,
unidentified flying objects,
unidentified submarines or
groups of surface vessels, and
any craft of unconventional
design engaged in suspicious
activity.
Airborne CIRVIS reports are
made to the nearest radio
facility and followed up by a
report after landing. Detailed
reporting instructions have been
sent to each CAP wing for
inclusion in unit information
files and all CAP pilots should
become familiar with the
procedure.

certain other airports for the

about those bright red lights on
either side of the runway. They
don't mean to pour the coal to it

VASI system.

T he standard installation
consists of two sets of light bars
on each side of the runway. One
set is near the threshold and the
other further down the runway
with the glide slope reference
point midway between them.
Each light unit projects a beam
of light that is red in the lower
part and white in the upper part.
Thus if a pilot is undershooting
the light unit, it looks red, if
overshooting, it looks white.

VASI is the system of lights
that give a pilot a visual glide
slope that corresponds to what

Richard D. Law of Golden,
Colo., made the presentation,
commending the outgoing
commander as an "exemplary
and dedicated CAP member and
leader" and expressing the hope
that Colonel Forschler would
continue to give CAP and the
Idaho Wing councel, guidance
and support,
Colonel Law also welcomed
the new wing commander

two-day conclave--was a surprise
appearance by the Burley High

"...Their appearance was a
highlight of a wonderful Idaho
visit. I was impressed not only
with your group's musical
abilities but also with its
decorum, appearance and the
enthusiastic manner in which it
performed as a disciplined

General Ellis injected some
humor in his address by reading
a letter he received from Col.

commander, who wrote General
Ellis cautioning him on the perils
of the trip into Idaho.

described it as a "nourishing
