As if moving all of their aircraft out and back into their hangar and setting up tables and chairs and providing an excellent sound system were not enough, C & W also provided their complementary Gourmet Chili and Fixin's Dinner for all attendees. What better place to have a Pilot's Safety Seminar than in a working hangar at Caldwell Airport! C & W is a long-time supporter of MAPA and other pilot organizations. Neil, Sean and their crew deserve heartfelt thanks from the entire aviation community.

This added facet to your simulator training flights will no doubt make your sessions a far more valuable VFR and IFR training tool. The active audience participation last night showed keen interest of those pilots attending.

At least that's how the evening started. Featured speaker, Denise Waters, two time winner of the Air Race Classic, "Round the World" pilot and racer, A & P and much more, easily dispelled the gloom of the night with a thoroughly informative, completely fascinating, and very often quite funny presentation. Retracing their route across the North Atlantic, via Goose Bay, Greenland, Iceland and on to London for the London to Sydney Air Race, Denise deftly included a discussion of the planning and preparation of woman and machine, that she and co-pilot Ruth Maestre made to insure safe completion of their endeavor. Denise has an infectious enthusiasm for aviation that was inspirational to all in attendance. Her presentation continued with views of more air racing in New Zealand and the return to USA across the Pacific via Hawaii and Oakland, California, all the while emphasizing the importance of flight preparation for pilot and aircraft, acknowledgement of the limitations of both, and always minimizing exposure to those limitations. Sometimes "stuff" just adheres to your nose wheel and you deal with it! Cockpit Resource Management, driven home by Co-pilot John Wayne beating the crap out of Captain Robert Stack! Wonderful! Denise Waters, was without doubt, the main ingredient in making our meeting a wonderful experience for all. June 9, 2011

John started his program by reciting the Navy Flyer's Creed, a document with which most in attendance I'm sure were unfamiliar, but fully inspired by its thoughts. He went on to give us a view of his 2 years of training and hard work to qualify as a Naval Aviator, one of few people with the right stuff, in training, attitude, and abilities to earn the right to wear an Aviator's Gold Wings. He spoke of his duties and responsibilities during his cruises aboard The America in the Gulf of Tonkin and was generous in his praise of his fellow Fighter Squadron members, and the members of the entire Aircraft Carrier crew, all part of a team dedicated to performing their individual tasks and striving to carry out the assigned mission. I was privileged to attend.

But Robbinsville Airport was closer to where I lived at the time. When I called there they said Come down we have a 10 introductory flight no obligation.
