J AST-TO-COAST HOOKUP- An RF-8G reconnaissance aircraft fro m the East Coast-based VFP-206, Washington, D.C., is refueled by a KA-3B Skywarrior tanker

from VAQ- 208, Alameda, Calif., during weekend training in Florida.

Reserve Squadrons Wing It On A Weekend Seven detachments of Naval Air Reservists from squadrons all over the country have completed CVWR-20's first weekend drill in coordinated air wing operations at the Naval Air Station, Cecil Field, Fla.

Attack Carrier Air Wing Re­serve 20 is composed of 8 squad­rons from bases throughout the TT~ited States: VF-201 and VF-

~ , Dallas, Tex.: VA- 203, Jack­sonville, Fla. ; V A-205, Atlanta, Ga. ; VA W-207, Norfolk, Va. ; V AQ- 208, Alameda, Calif.; VFP-206, Washington, D.C.; and VA-

204, Memphis, Tenn. All of the squadrons participated except V A-204.

The drill began on Friday, when support personnel were flown from their home bases to Cecil Field in special airlifts by Naval Air Re­serve transport squadrons.

Detachment personnel from the squadrons included about 40 of­ficers and 100 enlisted Reservists. Their aircraft included 12 A-4L Skyhawk light attack jets, 8 F-8H Crusader fighters, 1 RF-8G Crusader reconnaissance plane, 2 Grumman E-IB Tracer early warn-

2

ing aircraft and 2 KA-3B Skywar­TioT tanker planes.

On both Saturday and Sunday mornings of the drill weekend the wing launched 19-plane strike for­mations in assaults on the Pine­castle bombing range in Central Florida, simulating actual combat missions.

The weekend gave all the men in­volved a chance to practice their specialties as part of an integrated team. Practice with live ordnance against targets on the nearby bomb­ing ranges added extra realism.

The obj ect of the exercise was to help maintain the proficiency which CVWR-20's squadrons had shown in August 1971, when they were

deployed aboard the attack carrier USS fohn F. Kennedy (CVA 67).

~fter that deployment the C ~

the wing, CDR Edmond M. Fet:" _, USN, had said, "We achieved a high level of readiness and coor­dination within the air wing and proved the soundness of the Re­serve Force concept of organiza­tion. The real problem is maintain­ing proficiency in air wing opera­tions between the annual two-week ACDUTRA periods each summer."

Now, after the weekend opera­tion, he says, "We completed all training objectives in a highly ef­ficient and professional manner. It was a most profitable exercise."

More are being planned.

.teRCY MISSION-A crewman carries a live kidney from Naval Air Reserve plane t waiting Marine helicopter at the Naval Air Station, Glenview, Ill. The replace­

. .•. mt k idney was /lown from Milwaukee, Wis. , to Glenview by a Naval Reserve crew from Replacement Training Unit 60 and Patrol Squadron 90. A Marine helicopter then carried it to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago for an operation on a

young victim of kidney disease.

Part-Time Help Pays Off Two Ways

About 200 part-time N avymen are now standing weekend watches on ships in port to give full-time Navy­men more opportunity to be with their families.

The 200 Reservists volunteered .f"r a pilot program which.is being

}d out on six West Coast Ships-­three Fleet and three Reserve-­under the auspices of CINCP AC­FLT, Commander Naval Surface

Reserve, COM 11 and COM 13.

Under the program the Reserv­ists spend their drill weekends standing watches aboard ship so more of the full-time Navymen in the ships' crews can enjoy week­end liberty. Besides the obvious benefits to the full-timers, the pro­gram gives the part-timers a chance for some practical experience while performing a meaningful service to the Navy.

Begun in January, the program has been so successful that it is being considered for expansion.

Getting Your Copy Of The Reservist Are you getting your copy of The Naval Reservist each month?

I,ndividual mailings are made to members of the Phased Forces, Training and Support Component, Miscellaneous Programs, and Ac-. .~ Status Pool; and to Retired

jervists upon request. Copies are mailed in bulk to

training activities for further dis­tribution to drilling members in

Combat Units, the Fleet Augmen­tation Component, the Fleet Sup­port Activities Component, and the Shore Establishment Component.

If your copy of the Reservist normally comes by mail, and you fail to receive it, you should ad­dress an inquiry to the CO, Naval Reserve Manpower Center, Bain­bridge, Md. 21905.

If you are a drilling member of

16

a unit or component which receives copies through bulk distribution, check your training activity for a copy of the Reservist. If sufficient copies are not received, a request

for a change in the number shipped should be sent to PAMICONUS, Bainbridge, Md. 21905.

No-This Is Not A Seagoing Hot-Air Balloon

The Navy has come up with a new way to preserve the topside areas of ships in the mothball fleet. It's a custom-engineered, air-supported, plastic structure which completely covers the ship's deck, topside equipment and superstructure. (See photo.)

Inside the cover, dehumidified air is circulated to support the plas­tic and prevent moisture damage.

The new method is being tested

17

on USS Betelgeuse (AK 260), an attack cargo ship berthed at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.

The process requires a minimum dismantling of the ship's topside gear for stowage below deck. Winches, controllers, directors and other topside equipment c kept in place.

This can mean a significant sav­ing of time if the ship needs to be reactivated to operating status.

( 'RING UP- Workmen at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard put plastic in place over cargo ship USS Betelgeuse (AK 260).

New Nautical Mile The East Coast now has a nautical mile race of its own.

(with an assist from the Stephen Decatur chapter of the Naval Reserve Association and the Washington, D.C., Roadrunners Club) nautical milers from east of the Mississippi can compete closer

)me. The event-over a dis­I£a •• ~~ of 6076 feet-will be held at Walter Johnson High School, Bethesda, Md., at 1400 on 20 May.

All Reservists and active duty

personnel are invited to participate. Entry fee is two dollars. There will be three classifications based on age groups of 30 and under, 31 to 40 and over 40.
