MAXWELL AFB, Ala.--The
Alaska Wing of Civil Air Patrol
has increased CAP's record of
saved lives to 12 during 1972 with
the recent find of four persons
stranded in remote areas in two
downed aircraft. Alaska CAP
members are responsible for all
12 saves.
CAP pilot Gene Weiler of the
Anchorage Squadron located the
first aircraft, a Piper J-5
Cruiser, after numerous aircraft
reported hearing signals from an
emergency locator beacon. He
spotted the craft one hour and 25
minutes after takeoff.
The plane had been damaged
in landing in rough terrain. The
two persons on board the downed
plane, John and Claude Hulien of
Kenai, Alaska, were recovered
uninjured.
In the second search, CAP
pilot Steve Sztuck of the Juneau
Squadron found a missing
Taylorcraft in shallow water.
The plane had been used by
Raymond and Jerry Filkerson of

Kids Learn To 'Fly'
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Kindergarten students at Stony Point
South Elementary School are learning to "fly" in a plywood
airplane built by the Wyandotte County Composite Civil Air
P.atrol Squadron.
Their teacher, Diane Causey, a CAP member, shows them
take-off and landing procedures through use of walkie-talkies,
relaying simulated take-off and landing instructions.
The plane has several moveable parts, and has been
officially licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration with
the number N11W. The FAA also provided the students with
official flight plans. Miss Casey gives these to pupils when they
make their "solo" flights. She gives licenses to those who
pass the International Phonetic Alphabet test.
The airplane sits in the classroom, and of course, never
leaves the ground except for imaginary flights.

WILINGTON. Del. -- The
Delaware Civil Air Patrol Wing
recently had some qualms about
placing one of its aircraft under
insurance coverage that
permitted student flying.
They were uncertain whether
the cadets would utilize the
aircraft and if the increased cost
would be justified. The answer to
both questions turned out to be a
resounding"YES!"
During the first month, the one
corporate-owned Cessna 150 in

"'If it isn't pretty don't show
it."
These were the words spoken
by Miss Zona Lee. a well known
fashion model at a recent Civil
Air Patrol meeting in Los
Angeles, Calif.
This meeting had no military
objectives nor did the word
airplane get mentioned The
maneuvers of graceful walking,
discreetly getting up from a
chair with a tight skirt (mini?),
grooming and even make-up
were the subject matter.
No doubt about the popularity
of the subject
CAP female
members came from numerous
squadrons, including one from
Oxnard 75 miles from Group I
Headquarters. The attendance
had tripled. All realized that
fashion, style and personal
appearance were mighty
important
even in the
volunteer CAP. All were seeking
self-improvement, besides
having shown unselfish service
in the past.
Said Capt. Dorothy Platner,
organizer of this "grooming"
session, "Our CAP female
members are learning that no
longer must a woman have
perfection of face, features, or
even sleek figure to be
considered alluring. Today, we
measure attractiveness by
vitality of manner, enthusiasm
in work and play. It is measured
by intelligent choice of things
that give us a clean cut, alert,
active look that reveals a healthy
body and mind."
C o n t i n u e d C a p t a i n P l a t n e r,
"The inability of women to
achieve a real state of
fulfillment has been chiefly the
result of our cultural
misconcepts with regard to the
military as a "masculine"
profession and the tendency to
treat women as something
unique and delicate.
"There is nothing inheritently
'masculine" about many jobs
held in the Armed Forces.
"The Female in CAP is
exercising her free will, growing
through continued education,
pursuing a purpose she feels
worthwhile and helping others in
an unselfish and giving way.
"So let the skirts fly!"
(Gracefully)

Flight Clinics Set; Funding Available
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -Flying clinics have been a
special subject of interest since
1967 when the National
Executive Committee approved
National Treasury support for
funding theseclinics,
This is the first--hat pilot
upgrade has been included in the
Commander's Evaluation
criteria and considerable
confusion still exists concerning
procedures for requesting as
well as reporting these clinics.
Following is a resume of the
regulations governing these
clinics -- CAP Regulations 50-11
and 55-10.
The following procedures must
be met before National funding
is authorized:
Requests must arrive at
National Headquarters at least
30 days in advance and must be
indorsed by
the region
commander.
These requests should include
the location and date, level of
clinic (region or wing), states
participating, specific
objectives, anticipated number
of personnel to attend, itemized
list of costs and cost per
individual, and whether requlred
funding is necessary and if so,
reasons therefor.
Also, if an Air Mobility
Exercise (AME) is to he used, a
statement must be made that the
request for an AME has been
processed.
FLYING CLINICS
A flying clinic is any pilot
upgrade program (internal or
external) that h-as a formal
training schedule of events and
includes, as an integral part,
flights with a Certified Flight
Instructor (CFI) or CAP Check
Pilot. The flight need not be
simultaneous with the clinic but
could follow within a reasonable
time (not more than 90 days).
Flying clinics may be for
instrument upgrade, instructor
upgrade, I-IA qualification,
mountain flying, Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA)
instructor refresher courses, or
just for the sharpening of your
. skLlls..in.~.~our present FAA

certification.
Good instructors are available
throughout the FAA, National
Weather Service, Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association,
SAFE, Inc., fixed base
operators, and by all means
from your local CAP units, The NEC has indorsed the
flying clinics and has agreed to
match individual attendance
cost up to $20 per attendee. Any
additional reimbursement
requires complete justification.
If financial assistance is to be
used, then a formal request will
have to be submitted in
accordance with CAP
Regulation 50-11.
In the very near future the

DATE

Federal Aviation Regulations
Part 61 will require private and
commercial rated pilots to
participate in a flying clinic and
flight evaluation on a biennial
basis. The CAP flying clinics are
a head start on this requirement.
For the wing to receive
Commander Evaluation credit,
it must submit a report to its
appropriate CAP region within
15 days after completion of the
clinic. The region in turn has 30
days to submit the report to
National Headquarters/DO.
This report should include a
summary of events, names and
serial numbers of CAP
participants (by wing) and the

LOCATION

number and type certificates
presented (if any ).
If an AME was conducted,
additional reporting is required
by CAP Regulation 55-10. In
addition to these requirements
an accounting must be given of
all costs incurred for fuel and oil
used during the AME.
This entire program has been
made a special investigation
area for the National
Headquarters Inspector
General. If you don't have the
regulations on file, now would be
a good time to get and review
them.
The following is a list of known
flight clinics to be conducted
prior to the end of the year.

Migratory Waterfowl Again A Hazard
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The
first flock of geese was seen over
Montgomery on October 1. While
returning from the CAP National
Convention, one of the National
Headquarters flights had a
possible aircraft reported at two
o'clock by Shreveport Approach
Control. This turned out to be
more geese.
These two events convinced us
that the time had come again to
procure another copy of the
"Ornithic Oracle" to get the latest bird's eye view of collision
hazards. We previously
published an article in
November 1970 from the
"'Oracle," which is the official
p u b l i c a t i o n o f t h e A FA O .
Association of Feathered
Airborne Objects. The following
is a reprint of an editorial from
the September 1972 issue of that
magazine.
"'With the advent of cold air
from the icecap moving into our
summer breeding grounds, the
time has come again to think
about the coming migration. The
census taken by the MBB
(Migratory Bird Bureau)
indicates that up to 16,000,000

waterfowl alone will be making
t h e t r i p t h i s y e a r. T h i s fi g u r e
does not inclue sandpipers.
horned larks, blackbirds, tree
swallows, swans, or sandhill
cranes: groups that were very
uncooperative in reporting to the
MBB census takers.
"'This being an election year.
the AFAO has decided to endorse
the candidacy of the encumbent
Head Goose. We believe he, and
his Canadian Party, should be
elected over the challenging
White Front Party. We base our
endorsement mainly on the Head
Goose's work through the MBB
to reduce hazards during our
semi-annual migratory flights.
"'At the direction of the Head
Goose, the MBB has continued
its negotiations with the FAA in
Washington, D.C., and has won
several noteworthy concessions.
T h e FA A h a s a c k n o w l e d g e d
these concessions in its Advisory
C i r c u l a r, A C 1 5 0 / 5 2 0 0 - 3 A ,
published last March during our
northward migration. Those of _
you traveling south this fall will
be pleased to note that the FAA
admits that their ridiculous
aircraft are a hazard to us and

that their Air Traffic Control and
Flight Service Station facilities
will issue advisory information
on our flight activities so their
p i l o t s c a n a v o i d u s . FA A w i l l
e v e n i s s u e N O TA M s t o c l o s e
airports if a large enough flock
chooses to roost on the runways.
Some militant mallards are
reported to be planning this
tactic as a means of protest but
this action is not encouraged by
the Head Goose.
"'Although the FAA has made
some concessions, it is still
persisting in other actions which
almost caused a complete
b r e a k d o w n o f t h e M B B / FA A
talks. They are encouraging
cities to fill and clear some of
our favorite feeding, bathing,
loafing, and nesting stops along
the migratory routes, just
because they were foolish
enough to build their airports
nearby. They have also asked
farmers to stop planting crops
that previously served as
convenient snack stops near
airports. Flock leaders should
check the latest MBB NOTAB
( N o t i c e To A l l B i r d s ) a n d fi l e
their flight plans accordingly.

"'The FAA has also published
another Advisory Circular, AC
150/5200-9, titled "'Bird
Reactions and Scaring Devices."
This nefarious document
acknowledges that we birds are
too intelligent to be frightened
long by carbide guns or recorded
distress calls. It does, however,
recommend that some of our
members actually be killed to
fool us into believing the fake
hazards are real. The Head
C oose had lodged a strong
diplomatic protest over this and
is presently contemplating
enlisting Alfred Hitchcock as an
advisor for retalitory action.
" T h e FA A a g a i n r e f u s e d t o
restrict its aircraft from our
migratory flights paths but did
publish our preferred enroute
structure in the forementioned
a d v i s o r y c i r c u l a r. W e h a v e
published these preferred routes
here, showing the worst danger
areas. Flock leaders should
adhere to these preferred routes
and also be aware that the FAA's
aircraft seem to follow no
r,~Jting pattern. Victor airways
seem to go haphazardly between
e v e r y c i t y i n t h e c o u n t r y.

Humans have no specific
migratory seasons so every bird
should be on the alert for
aircraft anywhere.
"The MBB will again establish
Marsh Control Centers and
Flight Feeding Stations along all
preferred routes. All flock
leaders should follow directions
so that all birds can be in the
wintering areas on election day
and cast an overwhelming
majority for the encumbent
Head Goose."

Proclamation
Although we CAP cadets may have differing views on
the purpose and settlement of the war in S. E. Asia, we are
as one in sharing our common concern for the release and
care of our POW/MIAs in Vietnam. We believe Civil Air
Patrol should stand and be recognized in support of these
POW/MIAs.

Therefore, we propose that Civil Air Patrol designate the
month of December 1972 as POW/MIA month. This to
coincide with the 3 Ist anniversary of the founding of Civil
Air Patrol.
That during POW/MIA month CAP units and members,
especially cadets, at all levels actively publicize the plight of
our POWs/MIAs in their local communities for the purpose of
soliciting the support of the entire American citizenry for our
nation's policy on the release of our POWs :MIAs in S. E.
Asia.
