Former Navy Pilot
Talks to Cadets
Keith Smith, high school prin
cipal and former Lieutenant
Commander in the U. S. Navy,
was guest speaker at the Febru
ary 25 meeting of the Palmer
CA.P. Cadet Squadron. Smith
spoke on his experiences as a Na
val Cadet, and his training as a
Navy pilot and flight instructor.
During his talk Smith emphas
ized the importance of ground
school training. “Flying is just
a small part of your necessary
training”, he pointed out to the
Cadets. “Weather, map reading,
all phases of aerodynamics, are
of great importance to you who
plan to become pilots. Sciences
and related fields will help you
as well as mathematics”, he ad
ded.
At the March 4 meeting Cadets
will be taking their National ex
amination on their recent study
of “Aviation and You.” All Ca
dets are urged to attend this
meeting and take their exams to
avoid dropping behind the group.
Because of limited instructors,
