of the We.stern Aerospace Resctm and Recovery Center, Hamilton AFB, Calif., the Nevada
Wing joined Idaho and Oregon
wings in searching for a pilot
missing on a ﬂight from Boise,
Idaho. to Reno.
This was one mission that
ended with a novel twist when
a railro:~d dispatcher closed out
the ﬂight plan for the missing
pilot, who had made last contact with Reno radio but had
not ~iven a position report.
CAP ofﬁcials, after ﬂying two
aircral't on three sorties for a
total of seven ﬂying hours,
learned that the pilot had made
an emergency landing on a dirt
road. resulting in minor damage to his plane. He and his
passe~:~er boarded a Western
Paciﬁc freight train at Gerlach,
Nev., bound for Portola, Calif.
The railway dispatcher notiﬁ e d t h e E l k o ( N e v. ) F l i g h t
Service Center what had happened and the missing pilot's
ﬂight plan was closed and
CAP's search was ended.

as part of a project authorized by both the Pentagon and the

tion enables a MARS-Army ground control station to contact
other stations over a wide area. When a U-6A was diverted to
another mission, MARS-Army asked CAP to complete as much
of the mission as possible. As the CAP pair were returning to
Lynchburg from Charlottesville with the MARS unit their aircraft radio failed. The MARS ground control station contacted
the control tower and brought the CAP crew in safely. (Photo

a widespread search in an area north of Stapleton Airﬁeld (Denver Municipal Airport) the Lowry
cadets were among more than 350 persons who responded. Spread in a long line, they searched open
ﬁelds, ditches, fence rows and disposal areas westward to Commerce City. As other Group I
units were on standby alert, Lt. Col. Nathan L. Baum, group commander, praised cadets for
their voluntary search effort. No clues had turned up and the search was continuing in what
was term:d the most bafﬂing case in Aurora history. (Photo by Lt. Dan Madsen)

BOALSBURG, Pa. -- A
woman who has brought the
U.S. Air Force and Civil Air
Patrol closer together in her
family is Capt. Naomi J.
Smith. While her husband, Richard, works for the Air Force, she
takes an active interest in the
activities of the local CAP unit.
She is commander of the Milesburg Composite Squadron, "Pennsylvania Wing.
Another favorite interest which
keeps her occupied is ﬂying.
Captain Smith's early childhood
interest in airplanes prompted her
to work for Douglas Aircraft at
Ti n k e r F i e l d , O k l a . , u p o n g r a d u ating from high school. The company was then building C-47
" G o o n e y B i r d s " f o r Wo r l d Wa r I I .
She began her ﬂying career in
1944 and applied for training with
the Women's Air Force Service
P i l o t s ( WA S P ) , a n o r g a n i z a t i o n
made up of women pilots who in
WW II performed noncombat military ﬂying missions for the Army
Air Forces. She passed the organization's physical exam and
was ready to go when she received a letter informing her that
the WASP had been deactivated.
For Captain Smith, it was a "dream
shot full of holes."

ing outﬁt where she was able to
get a few hours of free ﬂying
time.
An Air Force wife for 22 years,
Captain Smith has had to move
around a great deal. She has accompanied her husband to Japan,
Germany and numerous locations

every minute of it," she states,
particularly "meeting new people
and learning new ways of life."
It was while her husband was
stationed at Grandview (now Richards Gebaur Air Force Base) AFB,
Mo., in 1954, that she was introduced to Civil Air Patrol. Asked
to join the Harrisonville Squadron, she did so, and later helped
activate a squadron in Belton, Mo.,
which was closer to the air base
where there was more interest
in ﬂying.
Some of her awards include the
certiﬁcate of proﬁciency, encampment ribbon, red service ribbon,
ECI ribbon, and air search and
rescue ribbon with two clasps.

CWO Freitas received a radio message that the Marine helicopter

FREITAS advised the base camp
by radio that Captain Hardin was
down the cliff and the team would
remain until he was safely back
on top.
The rain resumed and quickly
reached torrential downpour proportions. Captain Hardin, unable
to proceed to the wreckage due to
the rain, crumbling footing and

lateral angle of the rope, began to
climb to ~he top.
It took more than two hours
to get the team leader back up
the cliff. At two places, the rock
gave way and he fell, putting
his entire falling weight on Piltz
and Freitas, who held his dead
weight until Hardin could get
some solid footing and hand
h~lds.
The downpour continued all day
Sunday and Monday and by Monday night it was apparent that the
team would have to walk out. They
relocated at the Puu Kane Peak,
w h e r e t h e y r e m a i n e d u n t i l Tu e s day morning. Then they left and
after four hours of walking through
dense uadergrowth, came out of
the clouds. The Marine helicopter,
still looking for a way to get into
the team spotted their ﬂare and
picked the team members up.
C o l . Wa y n e S m i t h , P a c i ﬁ c R e gion commander, reported that the
