Duties of Bush Pilots

EAGLE, Alaska, <^P>—March 21,
The bush pilot is the handyman
of the Arctic and its southern
suburbs.
Don Emmons landed his Alaska
Airlines plane here yesterday in
the course, of a routine flight, but
his departure was delayed for two
hours.
Bad weather? Engine trouble?
Nope. Frank Ofo had a tooth
ache. Emmons removed the ailing
molar.

CAP News
By Don Ford
The Alaska Wing of the Civil
Air Patrol, growing steadily since
it was blueprinted in April, 1948,
is still expanding and it’s opera
tion is seen now in many sections
of our vast northwest territory.
There are squadrons at Anchor
age, Juneau, Fairbanks and Nome;
flights in Ketchikan, Homer and
Kotzebue; and a wing communi
cations flight at Anchorage.
Headquarters of the Wing, com
manded by Colonel Jack Carr,
CAP, is at Anchorage, in south
central Alaska. In the entire or
ganization are 232 active senior
members and approximately 75
cadets.
Although Alaska is very air
minded and dependent to a large
extent on air transportation, the
Civil Patrol there found it very
difficult in the beginning, be
cause of the lack of a CAP com
munications facility, to attract in
terested American youth into the
CAP for training in aero funda
mentals. There was insufficient co
hesion and interchange of ideas
within the Wing, and the organi
zational program suffered accord
ingly.
To overcome the handicap, Col.
Carr directed the establishmenti
of a Wing Communications Flight
in Anchorage late in 195 0.
Through the operation of the
flights equipment the Alaska
Wing Headquarters is able to keep
in touch with local units with lit
tle effort. Now training instruc- j
tions and orders relating ter search
and rescue missions can be trans
mitted quickly to all elements of
Wing throughout the radio sys
tem. Indirectly, this structural im- i
provement is favorably affecting!
the growth of the Alaska Wing, i
This is very important in a net
work of squadrons and flights
stretched as widely as those erf
Colonel Oarr’s organization. To
illustrate the problem, the dis
tance between Nome and Ketchi- j
kan is about 1350 miles, roughly
the distance from San Francisco
to San Antonio.
