Are You ReadyFor The SearchFunction?By ItCoL Robert Fowler,Vir. P.A. Los Angeles Group 1An innovative search and rescue (ES)training experiment proved successful as

favorable evaluation sheets show 100 per-cent of the students want more of this typeof communication. T.heme of the trainingwas. "Are you ready for the search func-tion T' The presentation method was sevenseminars covering search functions, a tabletop SAR exercise and a n actual SAR train-ing mission. The first two sessions wereheld at Lo s Angeles Group 1 headquarters,in their classroom facilities at the VanNuys Air National Guard Base.The purpose of phase one and two was todetermine if this method could improvesearch and rescue tSAR) operations. A totalof 63 students. including 12cadets, activelyparticipated. Five USAF Reserve As-sistanoe Program (RAP) officers observedthe training. Lt. COl.Billy LaClair. who has30 years of emergency service experiencesaid, 'Jlearned things in these seminarsabout ES that Ihad never heard before." '1recommend that you conduct another sem-inar and table top next year," she con-eluded,The package idea of a SAR seminar, tab-le top exercise and SAR training missionwere originated by Majors Marion andGordon Barnett. Squadron 81 and Los An-geles Group I,veterans of many SAR mis-sions. The couple discovered that some ESpersonnel were not aware of the need orrequirements of many of the mission basejobs. The students were found to have alimited knowledge of the coordination re-quired and how each bit of informationimproved the possible success of the mis-sions' objectives.2LL James Newton, Squadron 81, wasthe project officer for the seminar and tab-le top phase. On the first day, after a gener-al briefing the students were allowed to se -lect three of the seven one-hour and 15minute seminars on various SAR spe-cialdes, Ineach of these Lh ree sessions thestudents exchanged information on howeach integrated into the search function.Every seminar had an experienced ES per-son as a seminar advisor.Besides CAP members on the seminarstaff the Los Angeles County Sheriffs of-fice sent Sheriff Steve Sullivan to informthe students of the latest techniques in in-tarviewing witnesses.Following the seminars the studentswere organized into several mission basestaffs for the table top exercise. Each staff

wa s given information from a n actual twOday SAR mission and told to establish amission base, conduct a search based onthe Information supplied by the exerciseconductor. This problem had previouslybeen used in a mission coordinatorsscbool.The third phase of the training con--tinued twO weeks later wi th an actual SAR

training exercise at San Fernando SeniorSquadron 35's mission base at WhitemanAirpon. near Los Angeles.On this SAR mission most of the basestaff were mission trainees, who had at-tended the two earlier phases of the pro-gram. Some 50 senior members and fourcadets were present and took part intheoverall functions, A total of eight aircraftcompleted nine sorties and located the tWOtarget Emergency Locator Transmitters.MIij. Dale Rumbaugh, Group I's Squadron12B, was the SAR mission project officerand lLt. Diane Blanchard, Group LlsSquadron 61. was the Mission Coordinator.At the end of the three phase training acrit ique was held and the comments weresummarized. Maj. Marion Barnett said."We seemed to have accomplished our pur-pose. The students realized th need for anexchange of information. The seminar,table top and actual SAR exercise werepossibly the bes t methods we have Iound toincrease our proficiency in emergency ser-vice." Capt. Wayne McDonald, USAFR,spokesman for the three USAF RAJ' of-ficers who bad observed all phases of theprogram, was complimentary about thisinnovative training method. The Thomas E.Doyle AwardOne grim, cloudy day some 15 monthsago in a liuJe town in West Germany, a Cal-ifornia Civil Air Patrol graduate gave hislife that a 10t of children and townspeoplemight live.USAFLt. Thomas E. Doyle chose to stickwith his stricken F-16 fighter plane to steer

itaway from the schoolhouse and the con-gested center of the little town of Forst. pre-venting it from hurtling into them. Lt.Doyle rode his plane down and died in thewreckage.The news saddened the town of Oroville,California. where Tom grew up and. themembers of CAl' Squadron 141 where hewas once cadet commander. But hisfriends agreed that that was the way Tomwould have done it.

Tom . started setting goals for himself ingrammar school His commitment to ex-oellence and love of flying were evident inhis Civil Air Patrol career. Tom soloed in aCAPglider at 14.Hewas cadet commanderof CAP Squadron 141a t 15. At 16 be waschosen California Wing Cadet-of-the-Year,the youngest cadet ever to be so recognized.Tom earned his FAA single engine licenseat 17 and won appointment to the u.s. AirForce Academy. There he took his CFI rat-ing Ingliders and became a glider instruc-tor pilot at the Academy. Graduating nearthe top of his class, he competed for andwon assignment to fighter pilot training.Once while in fighter training he experi-enced catastrophic engine failure while information and at low altitude yet broughthis F-15 down dead stick, saving both theairplane and his own life, a feat for whichhe received a 'nlctica1 Training Wins Air-orew-of-Distinction citation.

Again, in Germany shortly before histragic accident he bad successfully landedhis malfunctioning P16 at night in an actof coolness and skill for which yet anothercommendation was pending.Throughout his career Tom's modesty,quiet competence and friendly, "big, lop-sided grin" made him innumerable friendsincluding the German townspeople nearhis base.After the crash the townspeople of Forst.in reoognition of his act of sacrifice, tookup a memorial fund for Lt. Doyle, a fundwhich bas grown through contributions offriends and family into the Lt. Thomas E.Doyle Memorial Fund.Starting this year there will be an an-nual award from the Lt. Thomas E.. DoyleMemorial Fund. The award will be madetoward the continuing education of a Cal-ifornia youth who is looking forward to acareer in aviation or aerospace, be it as apilot or in a ground technical field. andwhose performance in school and in his/her community has best demonstratedthose qualities of character, leadership and

commitment to excellence that charac-terized the life of Tom Doyle to whom theMemorial Fund is dedicated.The nominees must: be high school seniors or recent grad-uates, have a solid academic record tupperthird of their class), be enrolled in or scheduJed to enrollin a college or O'ad school with a scienceor aeronautical major this fall, have a record of active participationin COID.'IIunilYand/or CAP aeronauticalaeu vities, have shown leadership potential.The Lt. Thomas E. Doyle MemorialFund committee is, with the assistance ofWing HeadquarterS, soliciting nomina-tions from throughout the California CAPWing. Nominations for the 1989 awardmay be suhmitted by any California CAl'squadron accompanied by a writtensummary of the nominee's background,accomplishments. and career objectivesprepared by his/her unit commander.Nominations may be routed throughCalifornia Wing Bq. who may. if desired.add comments and who will forward allnominee packages to the Lt, Thomas E.Doyle Memorial Fund award committeeas soon as possible.Review and final selection are to be

Since we canno longer secure insurance against thiseventuality, we must arrange or other fi-nancial protection or fa e a forced sale ofour assets [planes. vehicles, radios, etc.l.The only alternative is to tax ourselves toestablish a fund for that purpose. Recentjudgments against other organizations

have been in amounts from $50.000 to7, ,000. no including legal fees. So youcan see th t $10per year from every mem-bel' (approximately 70,000 nationwide) is amoderate amoun lfor this fund.Th increase in Wing dues is needed LOmeet increased operating costs.

Watsontlille-SantaMonica SearchMobHizes CoastalUnitsA pilot in a Cessna 172 with nopassengers departed from WatsOnville onThursday, January 5, in the late afternoonand failed to arrive as expected in SantaMonica that evening. MOUDtajn ViewSquadron 10was one of the units alerted toopen a search base on that Friday night,The base was set up at Santa Maria Air-

pan. Captain Bob Evans and LieutenantsGarry 1Crum and Mark Bluth fl w downearly the next morning to join about 35other Civil Air Patrol aircraf1. from aroundthe state. A briefing revealed that the pilothad filed no flight plan, had made noknown radio reports and there was noEmergency Locator Transmitter CELT)sig-nal detected.During the flight a Pacific storm sweptin. turning the entire coast ruling out al-most all visual flighL The pilot was instru-ment rated but wasn't believed to havebeen currenLSearch strategy was to concentrate onthe possible routes the 172 could havetaken; areas around airports where hemight have landed, and mountainous areaswhich were obscured by weather duringthe flight,With CapL Evans flying asmission pilot,Lt. Krum as pilot trainee and LLBluth act-ing as scanner, Squadron 10members flewa total ofseven-and-a-half hours on two sor-ties during January 7th and 8th.The first day they f lew grids on the hillseast of Santa Marla and on Sunday. Janu-ary 7, they flew a route search to Watson-ville, plus a grid in the Watsonville area.It was Lt.Bluth's first actual mission. Helater told squadron members it was "amaz-ing how many white scraps of metal andsnow patches there are in the area thatlook Uke a Cessna 172." He also shared thetypical SC8ll1l r's worry about never want-ing to take one's eyes off the ground for fearof missing that all-important clue thatmight turn out to be aircraft wreckage.Midway into the mission VandenburgAir Force Base provided billeting at theVisiting Officers Quarters and the crewwas able to get a good night's rest.By 10 January, 20 percent of the statewas blanketed by the search and a secondsearch base was opened for a day at Wat-sonville Airpon on 14 January,Three senior members and three cadetsfrom Squadron 10 reported to the base.Lieutenant Lee Barford warded as a radiooperator, coordlnaung communicationsbetween search aircraft and the base atSanta Maria. Captain Richard BoucherDew twO grids as an observer with RayLeis from the Monterey Squadron. Theycriss-crossed the rugged Ventana Wilder-ness and the Pacific Coast south of Carmel.Meanwhile Lt. Alice Mansel also flewtwo grids; one as a scanner with California

Wing Commander, Colonel V. Lee White.They traversed the valleys south of CarmelValley and discovered an uncharted, new-ly constructed runway carved outofa stee-ply forested mountain. The crew spentmuch of their grid-time doing contoursearches of all the nearby mountain slopes.Cadet Capt. David Stamps. C/Li..IsabellePopescu and C / Airman Danny Evans pro-vided ramp support and extra base duties.Tbe mission was suspended the follow-ing week, pending further leads, The CivilAir Patrol never "closes" a search missionuntil the objective is found.

Red CrossUpdates DamageAssessmentTrainingMost CAP members involved in Emer-gency Services are aware that CAP has aMemorandum of Understanding with theAmerican National Red Cross to providethe Red Cross with suppon during disasteroperations. CAP support to the Red Crossincludes communications, logistics, anddamage assessment, CAP units and mem-bers assist the Red Cross at both the localchapter level and the national level duringmajor disaster operations.The Red Cross provides training to itsdisaster volunteers and CAP members sothat they can function properly as pan ofthe Red Cross team in providing vital disas-ter relief services to the American people.This training is periodically updated to re -fleet new procedures and regulations aswell as providing update and refreshertraining to once trained volunteers. Re-cently, the Red Cross has updated manyareas of training that are of interest to CAPmembers. In particular, the Survey /Damage Assessment ( S /DA) training has

b e e n revised.CAP members provide a very important

resource to the Red Cross S /DA Officer dur-ing a major disaster operation. CAP mem-bers perform both ground and aerialdamage assessment, communications sup-pan. and transportation through difficult.disaster damaged tarrain. Because of thisunique relationship, it is very importantthat CAP members remain current withthe latest S/DA rules, regulations, pro-cedures and forms.The Red Cross recently revised S/DAtraining is so new that the training mate-rials prepared from Red Cross NationalHeadquarters have not yet been released.However, since this training is so impor-tant, local chapter S /DA officers and in-structors have received special training sothat they can beginre-training existingvolunteers and CAP members,Although th basic procedures and reg-ulations have not changed very much withthe revision of Disaster Services Regula-tion ARC 3029 Survey/Damage Assess-

menr, the forms have b e e n changed signifi-cantly to make them much easier to use. Inaddition, a new form h as b e en added forsupporting the Preliminary Damage As-sessment (FDA). This is of particular im-portance to CAP members since the PDA(which used to be known as the Wind-shield Survey) is lh most common areawhere CAP members support the S /DAfunction.Copies of these new forms have been in-cluded with this article. Those of you thathave taken S/DA training in the past willnotice the changes in these new forms. TheOn-Site Detailed Damage AssessmentWorksheet has been made much morecomprehensive and includes important in-formation on the reverse side to help thesurveyor understand how to determine

damage ratingli and remarks.The new PDA form makes the sur-veyor's job easier when conducting a PDA.In the past, S/DA supervisors were fo rcedto send out volunteers and CAP memberswith only a blank sheet of paper to use forrecording windshield assessments. Thisnew worksheet mak e s it much easier to re-cord vital survey data and reminds the sur-veyor of what types ofinfonnation shouldbe sought out and recorded.Most Red Cross chapters are workingvery hard to re-train their existing volun-teers with this new S /DA information.CAP members should contact their localRed Cross chapter to obtain dates for train-ing near them. Many chapters will send aninstructor out to a CAP unit to providetraining. This may also be an option foryour unit, S/DA training is a two-hourcourse and can easily be presented duringa single CAP evening meeting.If your members have not yet taken theIntrod uction to Red Cross Disaster Servicescourse, this should be arranged before theS /DA class. The introduction course is alsoa two-hour course. It deals with the overallRed Cross disaster services program andexplains about the type of services the RedCross provides and generally how lheseservices are provided during a disaster.This course is a must for all CAP members,Red Cross disaster training ca n be takenby anyone inthe community, Ifyou sched-ule training for a meeting night at yoursquadron, this would be a good time to in-vite parents (of cadetsl, spouses, andfriends to attend. During a major disaster,everyone that has been trained can be ofgreat help to the Red Cross in providing dis-aster relief services,David A. Rudaw it z is a Ml\lor in CAP as -signed to Squadron 88, Group Seven of Cal-ifornia Wing in southern California. Be-sides being a Ground Team Leader, he isChairman of Survey and Damage Assess-ment for the Orange County CaliforniaCbapter of the Red Cross.For more information:David A. Rud.awiuMajor.

After 45 minutes. we are inthe grid. First as always. the four cornersare established. The "LORAN" proves it-self as a really valuable instrument.There is a 6000 fOOLmountain In the cen-ter of the grid, which we "contour-searched." and then as usual in paralleltracks back and forth. looking, looking.looking.We were about six miles south of thenorth-border of the grid, heading east at500 feet into climbing terrain. when Isaw the jet passing us . about 300 feet tothe right. and 300 feel below us. Thespeed of that camouflaged hunk of alumi-num was just astonishing. His shadow iscatching up with him, he is close c o theground. A view to remember. We willnever know if the F4 Phantom-Pilot hasseen us. He had to watch the ground andalso had the sun on his canopy.We were concentrating on our searchagain while the jet disappeared.

AsIhad dosed in to the airport, Istarted to announce my predicament onthe radio. which caused a lot of commo-tion. I started to think and talk aboutsoaring the 40 miles back to Hemet,where my car and trailer were, as Iwasgaining altitude again.

It ishard tobelieve that 20 years hav come andgone, yet the memory and pride still re-mains.Having been brought up in a MarineCorps family. the space program came alivein the person of John Glenn and the otheroriginal seven astronauts. This was enoughto whet the interest of a grade school stu-dent. an interest that has DOt stopped,TbeApollo I tragedy was shocking, yet it

brought about a new personal interest inthe space program. This i .nterest turned toimmense pride as Ihear the historicalwords.

1989 CaliforniaWing Confe,.enceBy Capt. Sydney,. WolfeAs you should all know by now, the Cal-ifornia Wing Conference is scheduJed for22-24 September 1989 in Concord. Califor-

nia. With thisissu ofth l 'J ea r F a c ts , J willgive you an overview ofwhat is involved inpULtinga confi rence together and tell you alittle about what w are planning.ATT NOANC

As a ge eral rule. n]y about 7 to 10 per-cent of the Wing population attend theWillg Conference. This amounts 1.0 about400 to 600 people. The conference has athreefold purpose: It is intended as thesocial event of the y ar. bl it is a method ofallowing th general membership L a eom-munica with Wing Staff nd Command.and last bu noll ) it is the main eventwherein th California Wing r ognizes itsoutstandln members in the form of theAnnual Awards.

T have been asked what it's like to putLOg ther a Wing Confer nee. Words likefun, interesting, frustrating, maddening,chaos, and th urg 1 .0 kill com 1.0 mind.For the past seven years Ihave been in-volv d w 0 1 b puuing together these con-ferences and each year Ilearn somethingn w. Each year, I hav tried to s et them upin su h a way that they run smoother andare in resting to th general membership.O h yes. if you s e e me turn into the Wingogre. is because I'm gct.ing tired.

THEHOT LWhats involved? WeIJ, firsr the facili-ties. Selection of a hotel is impcrtan inthat it must be large enough to accommo-date those who will auend and provide aleast J4 to 20 conference rooms. The pricei another consideration, and brother, isthat g ttlng difficult! With the rising cost ofhotels, we try to p the room cost inthe$50. to $60. range. As the y rs go by,that is going to become more and more dif-

ficult, To cut down on the co s for the mem-bers. the Wing Commander decided. in1986. to alternate the conference locationbetween Fresno, then somewhere inSouth-ern California, then Fresno. then NorthernCalifornia. then back toFresno.

CONTENT OFTHE CONFERENCEWe have heard complaints 1.0 the effectthat the conference is nothing more thanWing Headquarters dictating information1.0 th membershlp. "We nev r learn any-thing new." "The conference is not a di-alog, it's a preaching session from Wing."Inthe past. that may have been true and. toa certain extent, we have no real choice.There are changes made at Region and Na-tional that we mu t pass on to the generalmemb rship, However, the problem isthat we wind up "preaching to the choir"in that the p opl w need 1.0 get tbe mes-sage [0are not always the ones who at-tend he confer n e. Theil. memberswho do attend do not attend the semi-nars. Last year, we received several corn-plaluts that the 1500 and 1600 hrs. semi-nars were canceled. Tha was because noone showed up or there were only 1 or 2attend es. This year. the seminars will beheld in one hour sessions, beginningfrom 1000 hrs. Lill1500 hrs. The last sem-inar will be over at 1600 hrs. This shouldgive the memb rs from 1600 to 1800hours to socialize until the "attitude ad-justment period" starts at 1800 hrs,With last y ar's conference. we addedto the baok of the conference registrationform a questionnaire that a m mbercould fill out and get hls/her questionsanswer' d. Unfortunately. only about 40people completed the form yieldingabout 60 questions. Maybe some thinkthat th questions they have would beconsider d "dumb". There is no suchthjng as "a dumb question"! Hyou don'tknow om thing, the only way you willI am is LOask. Even if you did ask a so -call d "dumb" question, i would tell us( C on r. im J ed . .. J

WING CONFERENCE(Cont.inu d ... Jthat something is wrong with our train-ing system and the issue would need to beaddressed. This year, you will find on theback of each registration form space toask several questions addressed to a par-ticular section such as Administration.S, Operations, etc. Please as k your ques-tions, You can also make suggestions ofany type. (Keep them clean.)

REGlSTR ATIONThis year, we are including tWOregistra-lion forms in the Bear Fa.cts. As you know,we have computerized the registtation pro-cess. Ifit were not for my computer, itwould be an almost impossible task to pro-cess registrations, keep track of th e money,account for tickets for the banquet andlunch and many other tasks, Ok, so I'm inlave with my computer.One of the things that gives me that. "oldurge to klll" is the dlfficulLy ill gettingmembers to read instructions and thenfollow them, Last year, for example, wereceived registration forms with no se-rial number, no name, no indication ofarrival time or how they were arriving,no name for banquet guesttsl, no namesof additional people rooming together, noseminars selected, and a montage ofother omissions, We then have peopleshow up expecting special treatmentwhen they can't find their registrationpackage and no record of registration.Tb only ones that get special treatmentare the Wing Commanders, past and pre--sent. I might add that, even though theyare guests of the Wing, they insist on pay-ing their own way and hav never askedfor special treatment. We do not havetime, nor do we want you to wait in longlines when you arrive at the conference.You will note that there is a monetary in-centive for you to register early! CAl'members seem to wait till the last micro-second to make a decision as to whetherthey are coming to the conference or not,A problem we have is that not everyonepicks up the registration package. If youregistered yourself and spouse, please,each of you should pick up your own Con-ferenoe Package to ensure you got whatyou ordered and paid for. I will haveyour completed 'registration forms at theconference so be sure to complete themcorrectly as you will not be able to buyadditional tickets at the conference, ex-cept for Friday afternoon. Your banquetticket, program, "door prize" ticket,handouts, and other material will be inyour individual registration package.Everyone. please pick up your own regis-tration package! Please do not come tothe registration desk and say: ''I'm hereto pick up Clifton Shlunk and Neal Nor-Iak's registration packages." Later wehave Clifton Shlunk come up to us andsay: "I didn't get my banquet ticket orregistration package:' By the way, pleasetake care of your lunch and banquet tick-et. We will again make the meal tickets

your place cards, Several members lettheirs fall out of the package and, as a re-sult, lost them.This year we will have several "doorprizes". Only those who register prior to15 Augu t 1989 will be eligible for thosedoor prizes. Inaddition, there will be a"mystery person" wearing a speciallymarked Conference Name Tag. The firstperson who identifies the mystery per-son wins the prize.HOTEL REGISTRATIONThis year, you will note that there is a

hotel registration form included in theBear Facts, just after the two ConferenceRegistration forms. By including it here weensure that. everyone gets a hotel registra-tion fonn. Please use it and send only thehotel registration form to the hotel. Do notsend the conference registration to thehotel, as some did last y ar. Just "POP" outthe Conference and Hotel registrationforms, fill them out and send the Hotel Reg -istration Form to the Hotel and the Con-ference Registration Form to Wing alongwith your check(sJ.

THE ANNUAL AWARDSThroughout the year, we at Wing ehundreds of California Wing membersdoing an outstandlngjob for CAP and theircommunity, This is our only real 'shot" atrecognizing some of the outstanding mem-bers who put so much time and energy intothe Civil Air Patrol. Last year, there were13 annual awards available with 11 nomi-nations in each category. That's 143 nomi-nations possible. Wereceived only 55 nom-inations in all categories. Thi s year, a 14!.hcategory has been dded. That means thereshould b e 154 nominations fro.m t h r ough -out the Wing this year. Starting on Page 4-5of the CAWGManual 11-1, we outlined theawards and the procedures for nominatingsomeone for each of the awards. Pleaseread the manual and follow the nomina-tion procedures at the Squadron level, thenthe Group level. Remember, anyone ca nnominate anyone. Encourage your GroupCommanders to insist that he/ she get a fullset of nominations from each Squadron.Then encourage the Awards Committee atthe Group level to get the nominations inon time. YOU can help by writing up theCAP Fonn 120 for thau individual whoyou think has done outstanding work inthe past year. Remember, you should notwrite the nominee's life history in CAP,just what he/she has accomplished inthe past year and why you think it wasover and above the normal duties and ac-tion expected by the CAP. As a memberof the awards committee, I'D give you ahint, When we review the nominationswe ask ourselves "Whal did this nomineedo that was outstanding, well above whatis expected of the nominee in the per-formance of his/her normal duty?" "Didthe nominee devote his time and energyto all three missions of the CAP?" Welook for specific, factual information, notflowery generalities, Avoid the words'several". "numerous", "many", etc.

Yes, it will take some time and energyon your part. Get help if you need it. Putthe nominations together as a team.Don't you think there is someone deserv-ing of a nomination? As with last year,we will publish all nominations submit-ted by each Group in the Conference Pro-gram. Take a special look at this list ofpeople when you come to the conference.Meet them if you can. They are special!It's tOObad they can't all be awarded.NOTE: The only ones not eligible for theannual awards are the members of theWing Awards Committee. This is by mu-tual agreement of the Committee.LOOK SHARP,FEEL SHARP,BE SHARPThe Commander and Vice Commanderhave asked me to make a few commentsabout how we look at the conference.There are going to be several visitors, bothSlate and local government, USAF person-nel. and many from the general public. Weshould and must put our best foot forward

in the way we look and act. You know, Ihave been told by commanders of cadetsquadrons that they will not send cadets tothe Wing Conference because there are abunch of senlors there that do no weartheunifonn properly and set a bad example.Aocordingly, what follows is a few dress re -quirements at the Wing Conference:1. 00 not wear the "poplin jacket"[wind breaker] at the conference.2, No hluejump suits anywhere lUI3. 00no t wear non- dr es s on if orm to thbanquet (without the blouse).4. Do not wear pagers, radios, keys, etc.,on your belt.5. No flight suits except upon arrival, if

you arrived in a corporate or private air-crafL6. No civilian jackets with service uni-forms.7. Flight jackets are not to . b e worn withservice uniforms, except when flying.8. Please check the CAPM 39-1 beforecoming.9. The Banqu t dress requirements formen are, inorder of preference, MessDress, Service Dress uniform (lODgsleeveshirt and blue blouse or overcoat), darkconservative business suit; for ladies, it'sMess Dress, Service Dress uniform or eve-ning dress or cocktail dress.For those of you who have spouses (or

guest . l s) ) who are not members of CAP andwant to see the sights in the area, we havean ideal location this year. First of all, thehotel is located right at Buchanan Airport,with plenty of free parking for the air-planes. There is excellent access to trans-portation to San Francisco, local shopping.siglusee.ing, the wine country, and Marine-land OSA.Remember, the Wing Conference, aswith any conference, is only as good andproductive as you make it,We at Wing canonly provide the forum for you to partici-pate and communicate. We look forward toseeing you in Concord.
