National Board Members
Re-elect Two Top Officials
ST. LOUIS. Mo.--More than 1.100 volunteer members of Civil Air Patroll gathered here at Stouffer's
Riverfront Towers Oct. 3-4 and held their Annual National Board Meeting.
Members of the National Board, CAP's governing body, re-elected the two top corporate officials to
serve another year.
CAP Brig. Gen. William M. Patterson of Baltimore, Md., was re-elected national commander and
CAP Col. Thomas C. Casaday of Birmingham, Ala., was re-elected national vice commander.
Both recently completed their second year in their posts. They were originally elected in October
1973.
General Patterson has been a
member of the organization
since 1952 and prior to his election as national commander
served as vice chairman and
chairman of the National Board.
He held a variety of posts in the
Maryland Wing and the Middle
East Region.

The Maryland native outlined some basic needs required for CAP to
grow. They include a training course for new personnel and squadron
commanders; a new system of recruiting new units; requiring a
sponsor before chartering new units; having an activity oriented cadet
program and to cut back on paperwork.
He pointed to some areas that will be expanding during 1976,
including the ranger and communications schools which will grow
from two classes to three and maybe even four. Also, the staff colleges
will be conducted in three locations in 1976. In addition to the Pacific
Region College in Oregon and the National Staff College at Maxwell,
plans have been laid to conduct a college in Virginia at the RandolphMacon College.
The general received an enthusiastic response when he proposed
making a study on the feasibility of establishing CAP's own university.
Commenting on the subject, he said, "I think we're ready for it. I think
we should at least explore this possibility. We owe it to our young
people."
Concluding his address the CAP general said, "I think we can
achieve these goals. All it takes is Positive Mental Attitude."

CAP Members Add 4 Names;
Saves Now Total 43 For Year
MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -Through their air search and
rescue efforts Civil Air Patrol
members have added an
additional four names (as of
mid-October, press time) to
their list of lives saved this year.
The all volunteer force has
recorded 43 lives saved thus far
in 1975, compared to 36 saves
recorded for the entire year of
'74.
A save was recorded in Alaska
Sept. 18 when CAP was credited
with saving the life of a hunter
who had been severely mauled
by a bear.
Alaska's Rescue Coordination
Center (RCC) opened the
mission after receiving a call
from a bush radio station
operator saying the hunter had
been mauled while bunting in the
Talkeetna Mountains, 100 miles
northeast of Anchorage.
Due to a severe weather
conditions forecast in the search
area, military and civilian
helicopters were unable to be
launched. Two CAP aircraft
were launched and CAP pilot

Don Deering picked up-the
injured man and transported
him to the Glennallen Hospital.
A sa~e was credited to CAP
due to the critical injuries
suffered by the hunter and the
inability of other aircraft to get
into the site due to adverse
weather conditions.
A CAP ground team from the
Idaho Wing's Couer D'Arlene
Comp. Sq., was credited with
saving the life of a missing 60
year-old man Sept. 18.
The Kootenai County Sheriff
requested CAP's assistance in
searching for the lost man of
Cour D'Arlene, Idaho. Members
of the team located the man
after more than four hours of
searching and he was
transported to a local hospital
for observation.
The Idaho CAP unit was
credited with the save due to the
lost man's state of health and his
inability to assist himself.
CAP members of the Alaska
Wing concluded 'an intensive
four-day search for a missing
CR-7 aircraft on Sept. 30 and

thereby recorded the
organization's 42nd and 43rd
saves for 1975.
The search was initiated Sept.
26 when the Alaska Rescue
Coordination Center (RCC) was
notified that an aircraft was
overdue from a moose hunting
trip in the McGrath area.
After four days of searching
the pilot and his passenger were
located uninjured approximately
35 miles southeast of McGrath.
The missing aircraft had
overturned while landing.
Two saves were credited to
CAP due to lack of shelter, no
sleeping bags and food and the
inability of the survivors to self
recover.
Alaska RCC officials report
that the search was made
extremely difficult because the
pilot failed to file a flight plan
and the aircraft was not
equipped with an Emergency
Locator Transmitter (ELT).
More than 175 flying hours
were expended in the four-day
effort and approximately 13,000
square miles were searched.

The keynote speaker for the
night banquet was Newt
Hielscher who is known as
"America's humorist with a
message."
Notables attending the
National Board Meeting included Dr. James P. Gflligan, deputy assistant Secretary of the Air
Force for Reserve Affairs and
Education. Air reservists assist
CAP unit commanders in administering CAP units, teach
aerospace subjects to cadets and
serve active duty tours as staff
officers and advisors at cadet
summer encampments.

Air Force Maj. Gen. Ralph S.
Saunders, of Scott AFB, I11.,
commander of the Aerospace
Rescue and Recovery Service
attended. CAP annually flies 80
per cent of all flying hours expended in the U.S. on inland
search and rescue. Most of its
search missions are flown under
the direction of the Air Force's
Aerospace Rescue and Recovery
Service.
Approximately 100 members
of CAP attended a special
memorial service at the Old
Cathedral on the riverfront by
the gateway arch. This service
commemorated all the CAP
members who have died during
the past year.

l hCl Cadet Drill Competition
Rescheduled For Dec. 28-29

MAXWELL AFB, Ala. -- At
the recent National Board
meeting in St. Louis, Mo., the
decision was made to rescbedule

Division Move Causes Backlog
MAXWELL AEB, Ala. -- The CAP-USAF Data Processing Division
here has been in the process of moving to the main CAP National
Headquarters' building for the past few weeks.
This move is expected to greatly facilitate operations by having the
computer services collocated with other headquarters' agencies.
However, this move necessitated an early processing cut-off date in
October, and normal operation is not expected to resume until midNovember.
Even when processing is resumed, there will be a sizeable backlog
which will take several weeks to "catch up." This means that all
computer-processed actions -- membership applications, renewals,
promotions, etc. will be delayed several weeks.
Every effort will be made to expedite processing, but your
indulgence is requested during the next few weeks.

Unsigned Cards Still Valid
Did you receive a membership card recently without a signature?
If so, DON'T send it back to National Headquarters; it is still good!
Due to the change recently in the National Commander, there was
an interim period during which membership cards were mailed
without a signature. But they are still valid and still good. Repeat:

National Commander's Comments

A Navigable Course
by
Brig. Gen. William M. Patterson, CAP
National Commander
To those of you who missed the
National Board Meeting in St. Louis
on 3-4 October I want to tell you how
much we missed you -- and how
much you really missed!
It was an exceptional meeting with
productivity and
enjoyment running about neck
and neck. Much
was accomplished through candid
discussion and
sound deliberation. Although conferees and the National Board were
busy they did find time to really get
acquainted with each other and the
beautiful city of St. Louis.
From the moment that the meeting
was opened at 0900 on Friday until the
gavel was banged Saturday afternoon
an air of sensitivity and awareness of
Civil Air Patrol problems prevailed.
Many vital topics and issues were discussed over the two days and I would
like to acquaint those who were un.
able to attend with a few of the more
important ones.
CITIZENSHIP POLICY: A long in-

voived discussion ensued concerning
Civil'Air Patrol's requirement of U.S.
citizenship for all members. The
Board adopted a resolution to amend
the Bylaws to accept noncitizens who
have established permanent
residency under United States imm i g r a t i o n l a w s . H o w e v e r, t h e
National Executive Committee must
now delineate specifics that must be
encompassed by regulations and implementing directives before this
enabling resolution can become effective. Definitive eligibility criteria
must be clearly spelled out.
R E S T O R AT I O N O F N O N C O M MISSIONED OFFICER GRADES
FOR SENIORS: The National Board
unanimously approved a motion to restore airmen and noncommissioned
officer grades for seniors. This too
w i l l r e q u i r e r a t h e r e x t e n s i v e s t a ff
work if eligibility and promotion criteria are to be clearly and equitably
spelled out in CAP regulations. It does
represent a major personnel policy
change and one that many commanders and members feel has been vitally needed and long overdue.
CADET MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: The National
Board agreed that the present cadet
membership eligibility criteria that

reads, "Thirteen years of age or enrolled in the 7th grade", required clarification. They therefore amended
criteria to read, "Thirteen years of
age or having satisfactorily completed the 6th grade". This action does not
essentially alter the eligibility criteria but does serve to clarify the present policy and covers those youngsters who are awaiting formal enrollment in the 7th grade.
O R G A N I Z AT I O N A N D D E V E L OPMENT PROGRAM: A comprehensive, up to the minute briefing was
given by Col. Bill Ramsey and
Capt. Brian Duehring on the status
of the O & D project now being conducted in the North Central and Rocky
Mountain Regions. The program.is
moving into high gear in both regions
and the accompanying training program is taking on shape and definition.
You can see from the above that
your National Board did address
some crucial issues, did make
decisions and did their level best to
chart a navigable coarse that both the
National Executive Committee and
the membership at large can follow
in the coming year.
Yes, there was dissent -- perhaps
even total disagreement at times --

but you should know that every issue
was squarely met, objectively analyzed and finally resolved by majority
vote. In many cases the majority vote
proved to be unanimous. The important thing was that we all left St.
Louis with a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of pride in the
Board's deliberations, decisions and
judgements.
Be assured that as your re-elected
National Commander for another
year I feel a deep sense of responsibility that the mandates and the
directives of the National Board are
carried out, both in spirit and intent.
It is quite obvious to me, as it has
been for some two years now, that
both the National Board and the
National Executive Committee are
dedicated to the proposition that is
organization must remain dynamic
and viable.
Through a can-do attitude, a
positive approach and a sensitivity to
the challenges facing Civil Air Patrol
the year ahead holds promise of even
greater growth, more professionalism
and a deeper sense of purpose in all
Civil Air Patrol undertakings. I pledge
you my untiring efforts and fullest cooperation in meeting these challenges
in the coming year.

Wing Braves Weather In Tcsl
LAKE CHARLES. La. -- High
temperatures and heavy rain
storms set the scene for the
Louisana Civil Air Patrol Wing's
search and rescue test held at
Lake Charles.

The 79 cadets and 39 seniors
participating took the weather in
stride and produced an
outstanding team effort to make
it one of the most successful
tests ever onducted by the

wing.
A general assembly was called
at noon to kick off the event on
Saturday and all cadets were
assigned to classes to prepare
them for the next day's test.

A heavy cloud cover was
evident early Sunday morning,
but all aircraft were able to fly
during the day. Many cadets
experienced the thrill of their
first flight.
Ground teams were
dispatched to try and locate the
target and cadets not on the
team were given emergency
services classes by Cadet Lt.
Col. Byron Rambo, commander
of the East Bank Squadron.
By 5 p.m. there were lots of
wet tents, dirty clothes and tired
cadets, but the target had been
found and the test was a success.

number of course volumes. Accordingly, the new five-volume correspondence course covers the following topics: communication
techniques; effective writing; logical thinking; leadership; and
management.
ECI Course 7C is an optional element of Level II training of the CAP
Senior Member Training Program. Under the provisions of CAPR 501, Extension Course Institute (ECI), any officer grade senior member

CAP To Use Center
MCADOO, Pa. -- Lieutenant Commander Howard E. Glad, United

Center facilities at Avoca to the Civil Air Patrol.
The center will be used primarily for administrative functions, but
in the event of an emergency, it will enable both the Naval Reserve
and CAP to coordinate their efforts in a more efficient and effective
operation.
The center should prove to be valuable to CAP because it is centrally
located to the squadrons which cover the northeast section of
Pennsylvania.

Cadet Simpson
Goes To 'Top'
ASHLAND. Ore. Hugh F.
Simpson. a senior at Southern
Oregon State College, has truly
"risen in the ranks" of Ashland's
Civil Air Patrol Squadron.
In 1967. when the present CAP
organization was founded as a
flight, he began to attend the
initial meetings on an unofficial
status for three months until he
attained the age of 13
the
official entry age for a cadet at
that time.
During the ensuing yeaJ:s, he
continued to be one of the most
active cadets in the unit. Two
years ago as a cadet sergeant, he
became the cadet commander of
the unit. now a squadron under
the Oregon Wing.
At the age of 21 he assumed
senior member status as a
second lietuenant. In August
1975. following the resignation of
CAP Maj. Charles A. Lockridge
as senior commander of the
squadron. Simpson assumed
command of the unit -- having
risen from cadet basic to the
rank of first lieutenant.
At school Simpson is majoring
in elementary education and
intends to teach and coach at
that level with the eventual goal
of becoming a school
administrator.

Explains Marme Corps Pilot
Cadet members of the Hickory Composite
tIICKORY, N.C.
Squadron wre treated to living proof that being a Civil Air Patrol cadet
pays off when the)' went to Chester, S.C., recently for a weekend of
soaring, camping and instruction.
The "proof" was in the form of Marine Corps Capt. Lee Logan, who
flies F-4 Phantom jets out of the Beaufort, S.C., Marine Corps Air
Station.
Captain Logan, who was at Chester to do some recreational soaring,
noticed the uniformed cadets and came over to talk to them
informally.
Captain Logan was a CAP cadet before he entered the Marine Corps.
He told the cadets that, thanks to Civil Air Patrol, the first two
weeks of the initial eight weeks of flight training were already
familiar to him.
The fighter pilot also discussed other advantages that being in CAP
had given him in his pursuit of an aviation career.
Captain Logan's talk highlighted the weekend's activities which
included communications training and soaring activities.

cadets were doing. "We got
some promises from adults and
young people to look further into
our program or to attend a
squadron meeting," he said.
"The water crisis was a new
experience for the community
and for the squadron and we are

proud to have been called on to
lend a hand," the cadet

Tanker Flights Highlight Training
SEYMOUR-JOHNSON AFB,
N.C.--Eighty senior and cadet
members from throughout North
Carolina gathered here recently
for the Wing Cadet Summer
Encampment.
The cadets arrived at the base
on Sunday and were welcomed
by CAP Capt. F. W. Wilson,
camp commander. On Monday,
they were welcomed to the base
by the base commander and
briefed on safety and care of
equipment and quarters. After
tours of the base were completed
the cadets visited the Base
Exchange and Clothing Sales
Store and then drilled and
prepared for inspection.
The next three days were
spent visiting base facilities and
getting on-the-job training in
various Air Force jobs. This
familiarization included visits to
Base Operations, weather,
tower, F-4E simulator, radar
approach control, engine shops
and fire department and line
training. They got close looks at
the B-52 bomber, the KC-135
tanker and the F-4E fighter with
detailed briefing and capabilities
of each aircraft.
On Thursday, Cadet Capt.
Carey Fleming of the WinstonSalem Comp. Sq., chosen Outstanding Cadet of the encampment, was given a ride in the
F-4E.
The highlight of Friday's
activities was a familiarization
flight in a KC-135 refueling
tanker. The cadets visited the
pilots in the cockpit and many

had the opportunity to fly the
boom with the help of the crew's
boom operator. Later that day
the cadets saw a demonstration

(Editor's note: In the past ten years 350 Civil Air Patrol cadets have earned the Gen. Carl A.
~paatz Award. The prestigious Spaatz Award is the highest attainable in CAP's comprehensive
cadet program. This award means that a cadet has completed all the requirements of the cadet
program. Cadets, who range in age from 13 to 18, study a series of courses in aviation and
aerospace science-related subjects as part of the program. In addition, they attend annual encampments and participate in a number of special courses and programs, including inter-

973

national travel. At these encampments and programs they study survival and rescue techniques,
ethical and leadership principles, build self-confidence and learn first hand of the career op
portunities open in the aviation and aerospace fields. As cadets complete each phase o~ the
program they receive an award and a promotion..Having completed the entire p~ogtom CAP
cadets become a cadet colonel).

PREPARING FOR WINTER
The nearly nationwide change
in weather conditions, the slide
from summer to fall to winter,
requires some fundamental adaptations in planning, flying technique, and airframe and powerplant management and maintenance.
If you are a pilot who sticks to
a local area in one of the milder
s e c t i o n s o f t h e c o u n t r y, d o n ' t
yawn and turn the page yet. Many
of the phenomena associated with
winter can be encountered anywhere. Remember that pilots have
the ability to range over great
distances, many variations of
t o p o g r a p h y, a n d w i d e l y v a r y l n g
weather conditions in relatively
short periods of time.
Mental preparation
The first approach to any
type Of flying is mental.
This month's preview and review sections touch on some
of the phenomena that must
b e a n t i c i p a t e d . P a s % i s ~ e s ~
of the MASS Report cover in
more detail many of the
basic considerations and
conditions a pilot must deal
with for successful winter
fl y i n g . . A g o o d fi r s t s t e p
in preparlng for winter
would be to review some of
the pertinent features in
prevlous issues.
It

wouldn't

hurt

to

brush

up on your personal weather
evaluations either. The two
most recent issues cover the
s u b j e c t i n d e t a i l . W h e t h e r
you have logged thousands of
hours in instrument conditions or have only the basic
introduction required by the
F~, it would be a good idea
to revlew this technique
(including some needle,
ball, and air-speed exercises).

A few hours of reading
~'beut tlie~e and other flying
.~ubjccts, such as crosswind
operations, ,..;ill undoubted] y
p a y o f f i n s a f e r fl i g h t .
And speaking of safety, remcnd)er that the airways often become fly',:ays for migratory birds at this time
of year.
Remember too that
safe, enjoyable flying be4ins with your attitude and
that anticipation beats
reaction every time.

Equipment preparation
When the headwork is completed, consider the equipment.
"Keep it clean"
should be every pilot's
m o t t o . A d m i t t e d l y, t h a t ' s

a very quick and effective
way of getting rid of accumulations of grease and oil
(but cover air intakes,

Next, clean the baggage
compartment and cockpit.
Remove the seats and cushions and anything else that
ca.n be easily detached, ~ind
vacuum thoroughly. Check
the seat
tion and

belts for condisecurity. Clean

the inside of the windows
and the instrument lenses
with a suitable cleaner.
(Be careful: Some household
window cleaners will cause
deterioration of some plas-

rivets and other fastenings,

airframe, engine compartment, and gear should be
noted and written down for
later repair or replacement. Carefully check lines

The propeller should be

and check the condition of

to recharge or replace the
battery.
Carefully inspect the

An aircraft owner (:an
perform a lot of light maintenance without supervision,
and other tasks can be performed with the supervision
of a mechanic.
These are
spelled out in FAR Part 43
(check your FBO or your
l o c a l FA A o f fi c e ) . FA A h a s
published two booklets on
the subject, Personal Aircraft Inspection Handbook
($i.00) and General Aviation
Inspect-ion Aids Summary (FAA
Advisory Circular #20-7H,
$3.00). Both may be purchased from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Every
pilot should be familiar
With these three sources.
A~so check the operating
manual for cleaning and
maintenance procedures and
materials. Try to do some
work on the bird yourself.
It's a great way to learn
more about aircraft while
insuring higher safety and
maintenance standards.
Finally, make each preflight inspection even more
thorough than those you pull
i n f a i ~ w e a t h e r. D o n ' t l e t
the cold and wet encourage
you to skimp because the
potential for something
going wrong is higher in
winter than in summer.
Carefully check the gear,
gear wells, and the control
surfaces for mud, ice, and
slush that might bind or
c a u s e f a i l u r e . M a k e i t a n
absolute rule not to attempt
a fl i g h t w i t h a n y f r o s t o r
ice on the airframe--get it
o f f b e f o r e i t g e t s y o u . A n d
make postflight inspections
a practice as well. Something could turn up that
you might overlook next
time. Use a shutdown check
list to preclude walking
away with flapping controls
or a master left "on" that
might mean no start or a
ground hazard. (The most
miserable starting engines
can be perverse and may
start im~mediately if someone
moves the propeller with
the master on.)
Now you'll be all set to
enjoy the higher performance
that winter, with its denser
a i r,

4. UNIFORM TIP OF THE MONTH. Some members have expressed confusion over
the size aviation badge authorized with certain uniform combinations. This is to
clarify that either the regular size or miniature size aviation badge may be worn on
all uniform combinations although the majority of the members prefer the regular
size on the service coat and the miniature size on the summer shirt and overblouse.
Personal preference will prevail.
