Capt. Pete Nette, com-manding officer of NavalSupport Activity South Po-tomac (NSASP), shared hisexperiences as a Navy pilotwith young aviation enthu-siasts of the Civil Air Patrol(CAP) Charles CompositeSquadron on July 7. Nettediscussed some the uniqueaspects of flight operationson aircraft carriers andshared videos that present-ed how it all looks from thedeck and from the cockpit.

CAP is the official civil-ian auxiliary of the U.S. AirForce; established in 1941,the CAP participates in aero-space education, emergencyservices and a cadet pro-gram for young people ages12 through 21. The cadetprogram promotes aviationknowledge, leadership train-ing, physical fitness, eth-ics and offers participantsthe opportunity to achievescholarships. Cadets canalso earn credit toward of-ficer status or receive ad-vanced enlisted rank if theydecide to join the Air Force.

Char les Composi teSquadron leadership, whichincludes senior cadets, be-gan the meeting with a for-mation and continued withCapt. Carlos Montague,commander of CharlesComposite Squadron, dis-cussing the cadets’ recenttest scores and a quick les-son on how cadets shoulduse the chain of command.

Capt. Dennis Chap-pell, deputy commander ofCharles Composite Squad-ron introduced Nette andadded to the lesson by quiz-zing cadets about Navy rank

structure. “I like Navy avia-tors,” he said. “They’re reallycool and they think in threedimensions. They have a re-ally tough job.”

The cadets, whose en-thusiasm for all things avia-tion was contagious, alreadyknew a thing or two aboutthe C-2A Greyhounds andES-3A Shadows Nette pi-loted.

“It’s an arrested hookcargo plane,” said ChrisO’Connell, cadet command-er and a soon-to-be collegefreshman, describing theGreyhound. “It’s like a C-130

for carriers.”The cadets knew a little

less about the role of theShadows. “It was elec-tronic reconnaissance, likean Air Force RC-135,” saidNette. “It listens and picksup signals. It was a carrier-based platform and it couldalso give gas. It had fourseats and was ejection seatequipped. Everybody [couldbe out] in less than a sec-ond.”

Employees, service mem-bers and young peoplebrought rocket smoke andexcitement to the Naval Sup-port Facility Dahlgren run-way July 10 during the PingPong Propulsion Challenge,sponsored by Morale, Wel-fare and Recreation. Chil-dren were able to launchsmall rockets built from kitsprovided by MWR and puttheir young legs to use chas-ing the descending rocketsas they parachuted down.Adult rocketeers put someinnovative designs on dis-play as they decided whoserocket could carry the mostping pong balls to the highestapogee. The final part of thechallenge saw Steve Waner, amissile engineer assigned tothe Missile Defense Agencywho served as a judge, em-cee and problem solver dur-ing the competition, tally theundamaged ping pong ballsafter each competition rocketlanded. As always, the names

of the rockets--Banana Pants,Blue Ivy, Queen Anne’s Re-venge, to name only a few--were nearly as creative asthe designs. Of course, notevery design proved to besuccessful. Even the epicfails, however, only provedto be doubly exciting. In theend, Cmdr. Jonathan Garcia,assigned to Aegis BallisticMissile Defense, won for themost creative solution, whileThomas Bohlmann, a me-chanical engineer assignedto the Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division’s ZDepartment, won best over-all. Thanks to all who made

this great event possible!

Ping Pong Propulsion Challenge at NSF Dahlgren

nated the meeting is howNavy aviators and theirshipmates manage the com-plicated, white knucklingprocess of flight operationson a carrier. “[Nette] logged2850 hours and 430 arrestedlandings on 18 different air-craft carriers,” said Chap-pell. “I’ve had the opportu-nity to be out on carriers acouple of times with opera-tions going on and live ord-nance. It’s one of the mostexciting things you couldpossibly see in your life.”

Nette presented someharrowing videos of Navypilots taking off from andlanding on a pitching air-craft carrier. He describedthe mechanics of the steamcatapults that launch air-craft from the deck, as wellas the precautions pilotstake in case they fail. “Everytime you go off the catapult,you’ve got to go full powerin case it breaks,” he said.

Most important of all,at least when it comes toavoiding having to employthose high-powered ejec-tion seats, was the team-work of all involved. Bring-ing all the moving parts to-gether successfully requiresimmense coordination thatextends well beyond pilotsthemselves.

Nette also described oneof the perks of operating onan aircraft carrier, namely,almost always being ableto take off and land intothe prevailing wind. Thatis not always the case forAir Force pilots who takeoff from land runways and

must at times contend withcrosswind.

In between videos, Nettediscussed some of the waysa young person could pre-pare for a career as a Navypilot by “keeping your op-tions open” and focusingon higher education. “I gotan electrical engineeringdegree,” he said. “My bud-dy got a nursing degree; an-other got a history degree,”he said. “It doesn’t reallymatter as long as you havea passion.”

Nette encouraged the ca-dets with dreams of becom-ing a pilot to pursue them.“No matter what service youjoin, flying is fun.”

On that point, severalcadets were already in full

agreement. O’Connell al-ready has pilot license andwants to fly F-15s in the AirForce. He spoke highly ofthe skills and knowledgehe gained as a member ofCharles Composite Squad-ron. “I got leadership skillsthat I couldn’t get anywhereelse,” he said. “I don’t knowwhere you can get that kindof leadership training. In[school] classes you have ateacher and in sports you’rejust playing sports. Hereyou have an actual chain ofcommand. Everybody hastheir responsibility.”

O’Connell added thatthe mentoring he receivedas a member of the NorthPoint High School JuniorROTC was also valuable and

he puts those lessons to useat the Charles CompositeSquadron. “When you getolder you have to developyounger cadets,” he said.“I had a lot of I hope that Iwas a good leader in my yearand a half as the cadet com-mander here. I learned a lotabout taking care of my peo-ple. If they’re not progress-ing, I’m not a good leader.”

Per Nette’s advice, how-ever, he keeps his aviationgoals flexible. “I want tobe an Eagle driver, an F-15pilot,” said O’Connell, whoweighs being a fighter pilotwith the flight hours thatcome with less glamorousplatforms, such as tankers.

During the videos, Nettetalked about the finer points

of landing on a pitching car-rier deck and showed cadetswhat the process looked likeduring daylight and night-time operations. Later, ca-dets and squadrons leadersexamined the flight gearNette brought to the meet-ing, asking him questionsabout flying for the Navyand in general. Some want-ed to fly fixed-wing aircraft;others were considering fly-ing helicopters.

When Nette played avideo of the Navy’s X-47Bunmanned aerial system(UAS) conducting flight op-erations from a carrier, hereceived questions aboutthe future of manned flight.“This is the future. one day,hopefully not too soon,”said Nette.

After members of thesquadron thanked Netteand presented him with acertificate of distinction,the group chatted about allthings aviation.

While all of the cadetsgained a deeper under-standing and appreciationfor Navy aviation, manymembers of the groupmaintained a fierce loyaltyto the Air Force.

“The Navy is a goodchoice, if that’s your thing,”said O’Connell, smiling.“Growing up in the AirForce it couldn’t work forme. Landing on those wires,I guess that’s cool. Theproblem is they have to liveon that boat for months ata time.”

No matter. The cama-raderie and friendly com-petition among those whofly in defense of the nationhas been a defining featureof U.S. military aviation aslong as anyone can remem-ber. The process of passingon that heritage to the nextgeneration continued un-abated over cake, soda, sto-ries and smiles.
