From theCommander
Brian Bishop, Col., CAP
Wing Commander, Oregon Wing
As I prepare to assume
command of the Oregon
Wing, I’m struck by the
amount of trust that it takes
to run our organization.
What started me to think
about just how much trust it
takes was when I accepted
Col. Pearson’s offer to be
your next wing commander.
Trust builds a greatorganization
Clearly, a region commander
demonstrates no small amount
of trust in selecting a new wing
commander – or when a wing
commander appoints a new
squadron commander. But it
runs far deeper than that.
How many times have many
of us climbed into one of our
aircraft and placed literally our
lives in the hands (and skill and
judgment) of the pilot? How
many times have the parents of
our cadets dropped off their kids
to see them all pile into one of
our vans?
Life-safety trust aside, think
of all the other trust we place in
each other on a day-to-day basis.
Take, for example our annual
encampment or large SAREX.
Everybody on staff works on
their part of planning the event,secure in their knowledge that
the rest of the team will come
through – by either the actions
of the members or through the
leadership of the senior staff.
It’s that trust in leadership
that I value so much. I place my
trust in all of those around our
great organization to do what’s
right for our membership, our
community and our missions.
Furthermore, it’s my respon-
sibility to earn your trust on a
daily basis and never abuse it.
With the trust that I’ve seen in
my time in CAP, I’m convinced
that there is no end to what we
can accomplish – as one wing.

On August 9, 2008, Capt. Scott
Bakker, 1st Lt. Jim Metcalfe andCapt. Tom Moore were awarded
the AFNORTH Commander’s
Award to acknowledge the “Most
Meritorious Civil Air Patrol
Mission for 2007”.
The trio was presented the
award at the CAP National
Board and Annual Conference in
Orlando, Fla., by Major General
Henry C. Morrow, USAF, 1st Air
Force Commander.On the morning of March
17, 2007, South Coast Squadron
105 (based in Brookings, OR)
received a call from an incident
commander saying that Marshall
Alexander had taken off from
Klamath Falls in his Cessna 8
airplane and went down northeast
of Medford near Blue Lake in the
Cascade Mountains.
Squadron CommanderBakker, 5, put together a team
of Capt. Moore, 71, as pilot and
1st Lt. Metcalfe, 73, as scanner.
Bakker would serve as observer.
It was a dark moonless night
and the crew could only see white
snowfields on the dark ground.
Metcalfe had a sectional chart on
his lap and continually used it to
verify our location in relation to
the mountains.As the team approached the
target area, Metcalfe spotted a
light on the ground. The team had
found the target! Bakker notified
the Incident Command Center
of Mr. Alexander’s position. Mr.
Alexander lit a road flare to verify
his location. The team flew over
Air Force honors Brookings menfor nding downed pilot
Mr. Alexander for three hours
until relieved by another aircrew
from Medford. While Moorelanded and refueled, an Oregon
Army National Guard helicopter
arrived from Salem and picked up
Mr. Alexander. They transported
him to a Medford hospital.
Bakker received a letter on 16
July 2008 announcing the award
and inviting him to the banquet.
Metcalfe and Moore received
matching letters. In them, then
Brig. Gen. Amy S. Courter,
Interim National Commander,
congratulated the CAP senior
members on their selection. (Since
then Courter has been selected as
the National Commander and is
now a Major General.)
“It gives me great pleasure to
notify you that you and the two
other crew members who flew in
support of a Search and Rescue
mission on 17 March 2007 havebeen named as the 2008 recipi-
ents of this prestigious award.
Congratulations!”
The award was established
to recognize CAP aircrews for
their efforts in direct support of
the st Air Force mission. CAP is
tasked by the Air Force to search
for downed and missing aircraft
in the continental United States.
It conducts more than 90 percent
of the searches of this type.
“As a result of you, and other
members like you, we have been
extremely successful in promoting
the skills and capabilities of the
Civil Air Patrol to the Air Force
Community,” Gen. Courter said.
Lt. Gen. Allen G. Peck, Commanding General 1st Air Force, presents awardsto 1st Lt. Jim Metcalfe and Capt. Bakker.

A year ago it was just an idea.
In fact, the brainstorm session occurred during
the 2007 Wing Conference at the Evergreen Aviation
Museum a year ago. In attendance were Cadets
Daniel Knox and Frances “Fran” Simon, providing
cadet viewpoints.
Today – the first Michael King Smith, Evergreen
Aviation Business Academy not only came true,
but more than either cadet could dream at the time– both C/2nd Lt. Knox and C/2nd Lt. Fran Simon are
employed at Evergreen Aviation and are attending
college with tuition assistance from Evergreen and
its owner Del Smith.
Simon is attending Chemeketa College at both
its campuses in Salem and McMinnville to achieve

Cadets use the IMAX projector to show their BusinessPlan to Mr. Smith and other Evergreen executives. Theirplan was to extend the academy for another year andbring in more cadets.

“The Michael King Smith, Evergreen Aviation
Business Academy opened so many windows and
doors for me,” she said. “Before I attended I didn’t
know what I wanted to do. Now I am ready to start
my life and my career.” When she finishes college a
job awaits her in Evergreen’s helicopter division.
Knox remembers attending the planning meeting
the day before the Wing Conference in 2007 withthe Region Commander and other officials of Civil
Air Patrol. Maj. Gen. Amy Courter, then the Interim
National Commander, was there.
“At the time, I said: ‘Yes, this is a good idea,’”
Knox recalls. “They asked if the two of us were
coming to the academy. We both answered yes, we
were.”
Knox waited for the application, expecting it to
be released in January. It arrived in May.
“I had every one of my expectations of the
academy blown away,” Knox said. “I had an ideawhat they would do, but I didn’t fully grasp the
enormity of it. I didn’t understand that we would be
in the IMAX theater for the director’s meeting with
them, hearing them set goals for the company. They
treated us like part of Evergreen.”
Knox, Simon and eight other cadets were given a
close-up view of aviation business as it is conducted by
Evergreen. They were taught the basics of the airline
business by Brian Bauer, President of Evergreen
International Airline. Josh Parkin, Executive Vice
President of Evergreen Aviation, oriented cadets to
ground logistic support enterprises within Evergreen.
They learned about Evergreen Systems Logistics,
which provides custom transportation solutions
to clients all over the world from John Cozzi, Jr.,
Director of Operations. They met the David Rath,
President of Evergreen Helicopters. They sat with the
vice president of finance. They were allowed to sit inwith the vice president of sales and marketing.
Cadets were able to observe first-hand the
operations as they attended Evergreen’s Management
Meeting, its Money Management Meeting, its Men
and Women Management Meeting (personnel issues),
the Machines and Material Management Meeting,
and the Marketing Management Meeting.
They also had sessions called Introduction to
Business Planning, “Mass Marketing from the Best,”
by Wieden and Kennedy staff, Marketing Aviation to
Business, Human Resource Management, Business
Finance and Accounting, and Corporate Banking.
“There is something else we really learned – that
any plan is fluid,” said Knox.
Cadets were flown to Boeing Field in Seattle where
they received a grand tour. Attendees also toured
the Evergreen Aviation Museum and the Evergreen
Space Museum. They toured the Evergreen Aircraft

MEDFORD, OR—Pilots fromthe Oregon Wing of the Civil Air
Patrol (CAP) spent a weekend
learning how to safely negoti-
ate mountainous terrain while
searching for downed aircraft or
lost people.
In September, the Oregon
Wing of the Civil Air Patrol
held a special Search and Rescue
Exercise specifically targeted
at teaching CAP pilots how torecognize and mitigate hazards
inherent in flying low and slow
in mountainous terrain.
“By comparison, the terrain
in Oregon is somewhere between
Kansas and Colorado,” said Capt.
Scott Bartholomew, Project
Officer for the training. “While
Contributors: Capt. Scott Bartholomew, 2nd Lt. Christopher Johnson
Photos by 2nd Lt. Johnson
Seven CAP Pilots Now Better Prepared or Mountain Searches
I do not consider our terrain tobe the toughest, it certainly is not
for the faint of heart. Most of the
Oregon Wing’s searches are in
mountainous areas.”
Called a Mountain Flying
Clinic, this training is usually
held every other year.
Each CAP pilot received four
hours of classroom instruction.
Maj. Henry “Buzz” Florip taught
mountain searching techniques.Maj. Dan Dirksen trained pilots
to understand mountain weather
and its quirks. Capt. Winton
“Sonny” Adcock shared ground
survival techniques and discussed
appropriate emergency equipment
for pilots flying search patterns
in mountains. Capt. Arnold
“Arnie” Rosenthal expanded thepilots’ understanding of high
altitude flying. Lt. Col. Walter
Wattenburger covered all other
aspects of mountain flying.
The ground school and
training routes were organized
by Maj. Dirksen and Lt. Col.
Wattenburger. Maj. Florip was
the Incident Commander for the
event. 1st Lt. Michael Coleman
was the Air Operations BriefingDirector and was assisted by
1st Lt. Richard Ouellette and
Capt. Mark Kemner. C/SMSgt.
Patricia “Tricia” Coleman of the
Grants Pass Squadron handled
Communications duties and
helped update the IMU reports.

Class participants were: Capt.
Adcock, Maj. David Ayers, Capt.
John Barringer, Capt. Kemner, st
Lt. Ouellette, Capt. Al Sandner
and Lt. Col. Wayne Schulz. Theyeach flew two training sorties
in mountainous terrain with a
certified flight instructor already
trained in mountain flying.
“There were four courses
set up for the pilots to fly near
the Medford area,” said Capt.
Bartholomew. “While each area
had its own unique challenges;
they each featured canyons to
maneuver in and about, moun-tains tops to contour search and
ridgelines to cross. Some featured
high-altitude landing strips with
non-standard approaches.”
The instructors were Maj.
Dirksen, Lt. Col. Wattenburger,
Capt. Dick Lowell, Maj. Mike
Rupert and Capt. Rosenthal. Pilots
faced the additional challenges
of wildfires burning in the area
creating poor visibility and alow-density altitude created by
high temperatures on Saturday.
All operations occurred without
incident and ran on time.
Support for the event was
provided for by the Medford
and Grants Pass Squadrons.
The event was hosted at the
Delzell Memorial Hangar, 5060
Cirrus Drive , Medford, Oregon,
which is the Medford CompositeSquadron headquarters. Special
mentions are deserved for st Lt.
Ellen Leonard, 1st Lt. Shannon
Mason and Capt. Robert Soltz
all of whom helped make this
event happen, according to Capt.
Bartholomew. H
Maintenance Center, the Glider
Base at McMinnville Municipal
Airport and the Portland Air
National Guard Base.
Toward the end of the week,the participants were challenged
to come up with a Class Project.
The cadets decided to make their
project the renewal of the Aviation
Business Academy.
“The last two days we cre-
ated a business plan to expand
the academy,” Knox said. “We
presented it to Mr. Smith. I was
the master of ceremonies, so I
was nervous. It was a full classassignment. We practiced it once.
Then we gave it to Mr. Smith. He
asked us to present it again to more
of his staff.”
Mr. Smith agreed to continue
the academy with a goal of getting
up to 24 cadets involved next
year.
Col. Theodore Kyle, Oregon
Wing Commander, served
as activity director. ActivityCoordinator was 1st Lt. Gary
Arnold of the McMinnville
Composite Squadron, who is
property director for Evergreen.
Chaperone and other duties
were performed by Lt. Col. Les
Peterson, Commander of the
McMinnville Squadron; Maj. Ira
Rosenberg, Wing Treasurer; and
1st Lt. Marion Rosenberg, both of
the Metro Senior Squadron.“It was my privilege to
serve as Activity Director,” Col.
Kyle said. “We had cadets from
Rhode Island, Florida, Indiana,
California, and of course Oregon.
The outcome shows me what
tremendously amazing cadets
we have.”

AURORA, OR—Dozens of pilots
and air crew members flew 41 sor-
ties over a long weekend in August
under the watchful eyes of a team of
U.S. Air Force inspectors during the
Oregon Wing of Civil Air Patrol’s
Guided Training Exercise.
Every two years the CAP
search and rescue team is evalu-ated by the Air Force. In between,
the Air Force monitors a major
search and rescue exercise on
a slightly less formal basis. At
that event 5 CAP members, both
seniors and cadets, put in 1,923
hours to fly a complicated array
of air missions and run a series of
ground searches to test their abil-
ity to search for downed aircraft
or lost persons and vehicles.Air crews from Medford,
Brookings, Eugene, Salem, Bend
and Portland gathered, pulling the
Oregon Wing’s single engine air-
craft fleet together for this exercise.
This set of tasks from the Air Force
monitoring team included actual
flights of Oregon Department of
Geology and Mineral Industries
over Oregon mountains to photo-
graph the impact of heavy rainfall
on the geology. A member of
the Community Tissue Services
arrived at Aurora with a transport
box to fly on a simulated mission
to The Dalles to retrieve human
tissue donated for a burn victimin Portland. There were other law
enforcement agencies and state
departments involved.
An air crew flying a mission
out of Newport received assistance
from the U.S. Coast Guard, which
helped relay radio messages after
the exercise cut their radio contact.
Then the aircrew was surprised
when the Coast Guard showed up at
the scene of the rescue of the pilotto airlift the person to safety.
At the “prop wash” (Air Force
term for debriefing) the Oregon
Wing crew got compliments and
reminders of areas to improve.
“The Oregon staff here is
about the best I’ve seen,” said
Lt. Col. Rex Calvert, Air Force
Pacific Liaison Region Director of
Training. “You guys were sharp in
every position. You have a good
set-up here.”
Not everything went perfectly.
Air Force personnel were assigned
to monitor specific areas. They
provided coaching and things to
improve upon in several areas.One such area is the need for
more pilots.
“I am impressed with what
you can accomplish as you work
together,” said Lt. Col. Tony Pollizzi,
Air Force Pacific Liaison Region
Commander. “There was training
here – and evaluation. We’ve had a
lot of conversation. There were good
lessons learned. And this has been a
good opportunity for those agencies
interested in what CAP does to get
a broader perspective.”
There were Search and Rescue
exercises in April, June, July and
August with a Mountain Flying
Clinic in September. A schedule
of SAREX events for 2009 is
posted on the Wing website.

Emily Wittekindt, Hospital Development Coordinatorfor Community Tissue Services, talks with Lt. Col.Tony Pollizzi, Air Force evaluator on the mission, beforeclimbing in the aircraft bound for The Dalles on asimulated rescue mission to help a burn victim.

Chaplain (Major) Charlie Sattgast
was recently appointed as the DeputyPacific Region Chaplain.
The deputy region chaplain
assists the region chaplain in his or
her duties and serves as the dean
of the annual Region Chaplain
Staff College, which will be held
March 16-19, 2009, at McChord
Air Force Base in Washington.
“It was a humbling experience
to be selected for this position,”
said Chaplain Sattgast. “I willbe serving with the new region
chaplain, Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Paul
Ward, who is a terrific mentor. I
am sure it will provide some great
opportunities for both personal and
professional growth so I can be a
more effective leader and servant
in our organization and nation.”
Sattgast and his daughter,
Allison, joined CAP’s Columbia
Composite Squadron in July 2001.He was a Parent Sponsor.
“It was all her idea,” he recalls.
“It was a great opportunity to do
something together.”
Two weeks after they joined
they both participated in a
squadron service and work project
called Camp Rosenbaum, which
is a camp for disadvantaged youth
that is sponsored by the Oregon
Air National Guard and several
Portland area police and fire agen-
cies. Columbia Composite cadets
and senior officers perform dining
hall, garbage and kitchen duty.
“I figured I am never going to
do anything harder than that, so I
might as well jump in all the way,”
he said. “I upgraded to Senior
Oregon Wing ChaplainSelected for Region Post
Member right after that.”
For the first year Sattgast
handled cadet 201 files.
“Then I was more and more
involved in Emergency Services,”
he said. “I served as the Squadron
ES Officer for a year and got thecadets more involved.”
In 2003 the squadron’s
Chaplain Rozell Gilmore retired.
“I checked the Regulations, and
I qualified to become Chaplain,”
he said. He did that in January of
2004. That proved to be a strong
suit for Sattgast. Others noticed
his competency. He was appointed
Wing Chaplain in 2005. Recently he
went back to college. He received a
Master’s Degree in Pastoral Studies
in May 2008 from Multnomah
University in Portland.
Chaplain Sattgast will con-
tinue to serve as Oregon Wing
Chaplain, and to work with
Columbia Composite Squadron
in Portland.
Chaplain (Major) Charles Sattgast
EUGENE, OR – C/2nd Lt. Matthew
McLean, previous resident of Cape
Girordeau, Missouri, recently
became the Cadet Commander
of the Mahlon Sweet Composite
Squadron here.
C/2nd Lt. McLean moved to
Oregon with his family as his father,Thomas McLean, a Navy Recruiter,
was transferred here.
A previous member of the
Trail of Tears Squadron, McLean
joined Civil Air Patrol in 2004 in
Cape Girordeau and promoted at
a rapid rate.
McLean chose CAP after origi-
nally seeking a Sea Cadet program
since his dad is in the Navy. But
there wasn’t such a unit in his area.Cape Girordeau did have a fairly
large CAP squadron that was well
organized. Mahlon Sweet is a bit
smaller with 13 cadets and nine
senior members.
The size and good organization
of the Trail of Tears Squadron
motivated McLean to promote fast
to get into leadership, he said.
His first leadership position
wasn’t the traditional starting placeas assistant Flight Leader or even
Flight Sergeant. Instead he was a
Flight Commander of two flights.
“I attribute that quick success to
self-motivation and the encourage-
ment of friends and mentors there,”
he said. “I just hope that I can be that
kind of leader for my new squadron
of cadets in Eugene.”

ADAIR VILLAGE, OR—At 10:30 a.m. on Independence
Day 2008, hundreds of residents marched in a parade
here that a new Civil Air Patrol flight made possible.
Local citizens, members of government agenciesand organizations marched and rode down Barberry
Dr. and William R Carr St. in Adair Village in a
parade to celebrate Independence Day.
This was the fourth annual July 4th parade in
Adair Village, and this year, the parade was made
possible because of the flight’s assistance.
“We would have never been able to pull this
off without [the Civil Air Patrol],” said City Parade
Chairman Kim Gardner.
Besides leading the marchers with a Color Guard,
the flight publicized the parade to Adair Villageorganizations and residents. They encouraged groups
to register in advance. The CAP flight also assisted
with traffic control on the day of the event.
Cadet Color Guards were C/SrAmn. T. Smith
and C/2nd Lt. F. Simon, both from the newly formed
Camp Adair Flight. Four senior members from the
flight, including Maj. Chris Wade, SM Cheri Long,
2nd Lt. Greg Sebastian, and 2nd Lt. Chris Johnson
also participated in the parade, marching or riding
behind the color guard. Capt. George Long from
Oregon Wing also participated.Local veterans followed the CAP Color Guard.
Adair Village City Administrator Drew Foster drove
the city’s code enforcement vehicle, and Adair Rural
Fire and Rescue brought up the rear. Other partici-
pants included Miss Adair Village and hundreds of
city residents, including many families.
“The Civil Air Patrol is glad to be back in Adair
Village and to help with the parade,” said 2nd Lt.

TILLAMOOK, OR—The Civil
Air Patrol’s NW Coastal Flight,
hosted a beach clean up with
Oregon wing cadets Aug. 22-
24, 2008. This activity was
initiated two years ago by the
Cadet Advisory Council as an
opportunity for cadets to serve
the community and have a little
fun, in a less formal setting than
an encampment.Cadets cleaned the beach at
the Barview Jetty County Park
in Garibaldi, Oregon. The cadets
were able to practice their emer-
gency services skills by using line
search techniques while comb-
ing the beach for trash. Cadets
participate in search and rescue
events on “Ground Teams” which
utilize specific search techniques
like this one.While in the area, they also
enjoyed camping out, a fireside
feast of hotdogs and s’mores
Tillamook Flight HostsBeach Cleanup
Article by 1st Lt. Wendy Flett, PAO, NW Coastal Flight
and beachcombing. Pilots Capt.
David Ayers and Capt. Al Sandner
assisted by providing one-hour
Orientation Rides for the cadets
in Cessna single-engine aircraft.
C/AB. Anthony Harris who
attended this for the first time,
really enjoyed the activity, “It was
really, really nice for the Oregon
Wing cadets to get to meet and see
what other squadrons are doing.I’d like to see more cadets next
time and I think that it is a great
opportunity for new cadets to
learn from higher ranking cadets.
I loved the fact that we were able
to have Orientation Rides; it was
my first time flying in a plane. I
thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Last year the activity was
held at the Tillamook County
Fairgrounds with the cadetshoused in the 4H dorm, this year
they began the weekend Friday at
1500 hours bivouacking outside
the ATV center in Tillamook.
There were 13 cadets from five
different squadrons in attendance,
Medford Composite OR-007,
Washington County Composite
OR-034, Salem Composite OR-
42, McMinnville Composite
OR-099 and Northwest CoastalOR-114 (host). One of the first
orders of business was to schedule
fire watch patrols throughout the
night; and then of course there was
an unscheduled fire drill later that
evening. Besides the clean up and
Orientation Rides, the cadets also
participated in a rocket launch,
drill down, pre-dawn physical
training, team building activities,
movies and free time.
Next year the cadets will
camp at the Barview Jetty County
Campground, where they will
once again be performing a beach
clean up. C/SMSgt. John Flett who
attended last year’s activity as well
said, “It was a success. I enjoyedit even more this year because it
was better organized and there
was more camaraderie between
the cadets. It was a great chance
to see old friends and meet new
ones. We also planned O-rides
this year and everyone that wanted
to was able to go up. It’ll be even
better next year.”
For more information con-
tact st Lt. Wendy Flett at503-815-8095 or the Flight’s
Commander, Capt. William Rust
at 503-812-1009.
Tillamook’s Northwest Coastal
Flight received a contribution from
St. Albans Church, which made
this event such a success.
Untying knots can be frustratingunder the best of conditions. Herecadets untie a knot of their ownmaking in a team-building exerciseknown as “the human knot.”Pictured L to R - C/MSgt.

It was strangely quiet in the Civil
Air Patrol’s Incident Command
Post at the Aurora State Airport.It was 28 August 2008 and only
two members of the Oregon Wing
Emergency Services staff were pres-
ent -- until a bus pulled up with 40
government officials and business
leaders.
Posit ive Aurora Airport
Management, a not-for-profit com-
pany representing the interests of the
Aurora State Airport and adjacent
neighbors, conducted an awarenesstour of the airport that day. Aurora
is the third busiest airport in Oregon,
according to the Oregon Department of Aviation
website.
Instantly the CAP Incident Command Post
was very full. The Mayors of Aurora, Canby and
Wilsonville were there. Representatives of the Marion
County Sheriff’s Office, the Clackamas County
Sheriff’s Department, the Tualatin Valley Fire
District, airport business people and area residents
and media representatives were in attendance.Capt. Ted Tanory, Assistant Wing Safety Officer,
and 1st Lt. Scott Maguire, Assistant Director of
Public Affairs, represented Civil Air Patrol. Capt.
Tanory told the attendees the role of the Incident
Command Post. He stated that the center was used
for Search and Rescue projects when they are larger
than one or two aircraft and ground teams. He also
showed the attendees the Radio Communications
Center, telling the audience that CAP owns one of
the largest radio networks in the United States. It also
maintains the largest fleet of single-engine aircraft
in the nation, he said.
Capt. Tanory showed a few slides of search efforts
conducted by CAP. He talked of the pilot, aircrew and
ground team training that occurs at this center at least
four weekends a year. He also talked of the hard work,
long hours and training that Cadets and Senior Members
of CAP go through to be ready for searches.
Capt. Tanory also thanked Willamette Aviation
Local ofcials and business leaderstour CAP Command Post
Service, LLC, and David Waggoner, its director for
donating the hangar and storage facility to the Civil
Air Patrol.
The PAAM group toured the entire airport
facility that day.
“We hosted, by invitation, local political and
agency leaders to have a tour of the airport to foster
better understanding of what happens ‘on the other
side of the fence’,” said James N. Hansen, presidentof PAAM.
PAAM’s members are all involved with, or
effected by the airport, said Waggoner. Pilots
who fly out of Aurora, business on the field,
citizens and elected officials of the local com-
munities are all part of the membership. The
Oregon Department of Aviation, as the owner
of the airport, is also involved.
“Working together, this group has done a lot to
guide the airport and our activities,” Waggoner said.
“Our new noise abatement procedures are the result
of this group’s efforts, just for an example.”
“The dignitaries on the tour were surprised by
the amount of activities on the airport,” he said.
“They also learned the importance of the Civil
Air Patrol in supporting the citizens of Oregon.
They did not realize how important it is to have the
CAP’s Emergency Operations Center established at
the Aurora State Airport.”
Capt. Ted Tanory explains the function of the Search and Rescue IncidentCommand Post that CAP maintains in Aurora.

2008 Cadet Encampment
for Oregon Wing was full of
energy and attended by more
cadets this year.
“You have surpassed previous
encampments in your eager-
ness, your ability to drill and
overall teamwork,” said Lt. Col.
Shannon Harlan, Encampment
Commander. “From spit shining
your boots to shooting M240s and
“setting the place on fire,” you
have come together as a team and
made your leaders proud. Your
sense of price will show as you
march in your “Pass in Review.”
I am so very proud of each and
every one of you.”
Lt. Col. Harlan led a staff of

8 senior officers, four orientation
ride pilots and cadet officers in
conducting the encampment at the
Oregon Military Academy here in
late July and August.
This encampment staff
included five cadets perform-ing public affairs duties. They
produced a newsletter each day,
shot hundreds of photos (some of
which are displayed on
the Wing Website), and
produced a summary
of the week complete
with cadet photos.

C/SSgt. Matthew

allowed an ample amount of time
for their physical, mental, emo-
tional and digestive training.”
A highlight of the week
was the trip to the Portland AirNational Guard Base. Cadets in
small groups took turns visiting

WARRENTON, OR—Cadets
from the Columbia Composite
Squadron climbed aboard a U.S.
Coast Guard rescue helicopter
recently as part of a tour of the
Coast Guard Air Base here.
The helicopter was on the
ground, which allowed the cadetsto sit in pilot and copilot seats
and get their pictures taken, as
well as sit in the working area
of the helicopter, which has held
as many as 20 people during an
at-sea rescue. Normally, it holds
two crew members.
Four cadets and four senior
members from Columbia
Composite joined with 30 cadets,
senior members and a couple of
Cadets tour Coast Guard
helicopter facility
civilians from the Lewis County
Composite Squadron of the
Washington Wing for the tour
on Sept. 28. The Lewis Countysquadron was also heading to
Tillamook and McMinnville on
a weekend-long trip.
The Columbia Composite
tour was set up by C/1st Lt. Daniel
Schneider, who is the cadet com-
mander. Lt. Schneider met a Coast
Guard helicopter pilot while helping
the Oregon Air National Guard’s
142nd Fighter Wing at its family
picnic at the Portland Air NationalGuard Base. Lt. Schneider then
initiated the conversation about
touring the Air Base at the coast.
He then confirmed the tour and set
up a secondary tour of the Maritime
Museum at Astoria for the squad-
ron. Schneider handled this task so
well that Squadron Commander
John Bezayiff, Captain, CAP,
wrote a commendation letter for
his 201 file.The tour began at 1100 hours
at the Air Base. The tour guide was
Lt. Mark Huessner, a helicopter
pilot. Prior to becoming a pilot,
he served aboard a buoy tender
in the Great Lakes.
Cadets learned that the Coast
Guard performs many functions.
One that gets the most publicity
is search and rescue. They handle
water rescues with air and sea
response teams. They also use theirrescue basket and winch to rescue
people stuck on cliffs throughout
the northwest. Ironically, Coast
Guard personnel from this base
recently evacuated members of
the Lewis County squadron when
they became stranded in a flood at
an airport facility there. The CAP
members who were assisting with
the flooding disaster, were in the
second floor of a building therewhen water rose too high for them
to exit safely.

favorite, allowing each cadet, staff
member and senior staff member
the opportunity to fir an M16 A2
Semi-Automatic, air-cooled, gas-
operated rifle as well as a much
larger M240 Bravo,” C/SSgt.
Libante said.
One cadet from each group
was able to test the virtual
Parachute drop simulator.“Needless to say, the fun-
filled day at PANG is a moment
in every cadet’s life that will be
remembered for a long time to
come,” said C/SSgt. Libante.

and it ran smoothly,” said Chaplain

ment chaplain. “We had a good

a good job prepping them.”
