“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 with
the 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 idea
what 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

Cadets were able to observe first-hand the

They also had sessions called Introduction to

Seven CAP Pilots Now Better Prepared for Mountain Searches

MEDFORD, OR—Pilots from
the 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 to
recognize 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
I do not consider our terrain to
be 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 the
pilots’ 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 Briefing
Director and was assisted by
1st Lt. Richard Ouellette and
Capt. Mark Kemner. C/SMSgt.

Class participants were: Capt.
Adcock, Maj. David Ayers, Capt.
John Barringer, Capt. Kemner, 1st
Lt. Ouellette, Capt. Al Sandner
and Lt. Col. Wayne Schulz. They
each 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 a
low-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 Composite
Squadron headquarters. Special
mentions are deserved for 1st Lt.

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 class
assignment. 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.

U.S. Air Force reviews Oregon

Wing readiness
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 75 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 victim
in 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 pilot
to 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.

 Oregon Wing Chaplain
Selected for Region Post
Chaplain(Major)CharlieSattgast
was recently appointed as the Deputy
Pacific 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 will
be 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
15
Chaplain (Major) Charles Sattgast
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 the
cadets 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.
Mahlon
Sweet gets
new cadet
leader from
Missouri
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 place
as 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.”

Day 2008, hundreds of residents marched in a parade
here that a new Civil Air Patrol flight made possible.
Local citizens, members of government agencies
and 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 Village
organizations 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,

 Tillamook Flight Hosts
Beach Cleanup
Article by 1st Lt. Wendy Flett, PAO, NW Coastal Flight
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
Cadets receive instruction on how
to pre-flight an aircraft from a CAP
Cadet Orientation pilot Capt. David
Ayers. Cadets are (L to R) C/AB.

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 cadets
housed 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 Coastal
OR-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,
Untying knots can be frustrating
under the best of conditions. Here
cadets untie a knot of their own
making in a team-building exercise
known as “the human knot.”

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 enjoyed
it 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.”

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.

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 cadets
to 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.

civilians from the Lewis County
Composite Squadron of the
Washington Wing for the tour
on Sept. 28. The Lewis County
squadron 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 National
Guard 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 their
rescue 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 there
when water rose too high for them
to exit safely.
