On behalf of the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals Board of Directors, I would like to personally welcome each of you to the 39th Annual Convention and Career Exposition. It is an exciting time for OBAP and the aerospace industry. The growth and expansion of the industry is providing more opportunities for our members to achieve their professional goals.

The 39th Annual Convention and Career Exposition will introduce another opportunity to honor and support our veterans. We have designed the Military Transition Professional Development Series that will assist veterans transitioning from a life of military service to our great nation, to careers in the civilian marketplace. And what greater place to start this program than Washington D.C., our nation’s Capital.

By extending our convention theme, S.N.A.P—Synergize, Network, Aspire and Propel, another year, we can leverage the momentum that we established at the 2014 convention where we brought together under one roof some of the most talented and highly skilled aerospace professionals in the industry. It was dynamic!!

We invite you to experience it for yourself in 2015. This brochure provides a summary of the many ways that you can get involved, along with the necessary forms to facilitate the process easily. If you don’t find it here, we’re always available to assist you. You may email us at 2015convention@obap.org, or give us a call at 1-800-JET-OBAP with any questions you may have.

We value our relationships with our members. Your participation makes it possible for us to continue the work that we do and we are grateful. Thanks for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the DC Metropolitan area in 2015.

Sincerely,

James Gordon Board Chairman Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals

Captain William R. Norwood OBAP Founder and Pioneer

OBAP Pioneer Captain Carroll M. Waters joined the United States Army in 1958 after graduating college as a second lieutenant. The decade that was to follow that decision was to be ingrained in his mind for the rest of his life.

Waters reported to his first assignment as a Nike Commander at Air Defense Camp. In 1960, he applied to the US Army Aviation Center of Excellence in Fort Rucker, Alabama, and soon after worked his way through Primary and Advance training. During that training, one of Water’s teachers was an original Tuskegee Airman—Walter Crenshaw. Waters will never forget the experiences that he had with Mr. Crenshaw and all that he taught him.

In 1965 Waters recalls that he took his first trip into Hell - Viet Nam—as a combat pilot. Waters flew a CV2B, which was a two-engine, short take-off and landing plane. Though he did not step foot on the ground as others had, fighting the tangles of twisted trees in the jungles that seemed to have no exit and stomping through swampy rice paddies that seemed to span on forever, did not make his time there any more pleasant.

Waters completed his objective and was released with an honorable discharge from the theatre in 1966. He was awarded a Bronze Star, an Air Medal, a National Defense Service Medal, a Viet Nam Service Medal and a Viet Nam Campaign ribbon for his efforts.

Following his tour, Waters made sure that all of his certifications were current, that he had the hours to fly the plane that he needed to, then started flying as a Captain on a DA-20, also known as a Falcon. Soon afterwards, Federal Express moved from Little Rock, Arkansas to Memphis, Tennessee. On his first night in Memphis there were twenty packages compared to the millions of packages FedEx ships today. For twenty-three years Waters flew for FedEx, flying around the world and seeing for himself as he put it, “the sky really wasn’t the limit.”

In July of 1996, on his sixtieth birthday, Captain Carroll Waters retired from FedEx with 13,000+ flying hours to show for it. According to Captain Waters, “It was an amazing experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

Captain Carroll M. Waters OBAP Pioneer

Being a pioneer is ancient history to Captain William R. Norwood. As the first Black airline pilot United Airlines hired, in 1965, Norwood has long been comfortably settled in his role. “Acceptance has been good,” he said. “I personally haven’t had any problems. I try to do my job the best I can, and I haven’t had anyone question my abilities.”

When he was applying to airlines, Norwood had no experienced peers to guide him, but that’s not the case for young Blacks with their eyes on the sky these days. As the president of the Organization of Black Airline Pilots, Norwood was committed to helping “youths to become educationally prepared for life, to increase Black participation in aviation and to assist the Black airline pilot with special needs and concerns.”

Apart from his work with OBAP, Norwood visited 12 to 14 schools a year to help motivate students and emphasize the importance of working hard, focusing especially on younger children. With youngsters, “you have a person growing and getting a foundation and direction,” he said. “If you can make a difference early, the impact can be greater there. “The only way you have a choice in life is through education. I tell them to avoid the ‘quick fix’, and that if you want to have a successful life you have to sacrifice.”

Though there are now many more Blacks among the nation’s commercial pilots, they haven’t always been accepted. Black aviators who had flown in World War II were turned away when they sought jobs with commercial airlines after the war. It wasn’t until after Marlon Green sued Continental Airlines in 1963 that Black pilots began to be hired. Green’s case later reached the United States Supreme Court, which ruled that racial discrimination by the airlines was unconstitutional.

The turning point for voluntary hiring of Black pilots was passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “Up until that time no major carrier had voluntarily hired Black pilots,” Norwood said.

American Airlines became the first to hire a Black pilot when David Harris was included in the training class of December, 1964. Norwood started with United Airlines the next spring and began flying with United as a second officer on the DC-6, a propeller plane. After 2 1/2 years, he became a first officer, and then a captain.

Norwood became interested in flying while growing up in Centralia, Ill., inspired by his school principal, William Harold Walker, who had flown with the 99th Fighter Squadron in World War II, the first Black flying group of any consequence. “His eyes would light up when he talked about flying,” Norwood said. “Sometimes in school, when we wanted to distract him, we’d ask him about flying.”

Norwood began flying at Southern Illinois University, where he was in a reserve officer training program. After graduating in 1959, he served six years in the Air Force, flying B-52 bombers for the last four. Norwood’s role as one of the first Black commercial pilots is recognized in a Smithsonian exhibit called “Black Wings.”

Norwood credits his parents and his wife, Molly, for helping him achieve his goals. “I think my family has made a great impact on my life. In rough times, if you don’t have someone to go to who believes in you and who you believe in, it’s bad. “We can’t forget who we are and where we came from. Status and all the physical things you can buy are very transitory, and if you’re not willing to help someone else, they’re not worth anything.”

2015 Hall of Fame Honorees

The 2015 Hall of Fame Honorees have collectively contributed more than 111 years of service to the United States Armed Forces dating back to 1942. Many went on to lead successful and influential civilian

lives in commercial aviation and as community volunteers.

Facing opposition in multiple wars, gender equality and race relations; these notable individuals are being honored for their unwavering commitment to their careers, notwithstanding trials and many triumphs.

Deserved military awards including two Purple Hearts and a Congressional Gold Medal, record-making firsts in aviation, biographical books and a Hollywood motion picture inspired by the lives of some of

these distinguished inductees serve as testaments to the impact these individuals continue to have on the African American community and our entire country.

Undoubtedly they have forged ahead in trying times and turbulent winds. Their courage and determination in the eye of adversity prove why they are more than deserving of a place amongst comrades and

fellow way makers (or history makers).

Sheila L. Chamberlain grew up in West Germany, graduated from Fort Knox High School and received her B.A. degree from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia with Post graduate studies in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma and earned her J.D. from the University Of Miami School Of Law. The daughter of a retired US Army Combat Engineer and mother who was business owner, nurse and 27 year military wife, Ms. Chamberlain pursued a United States Army career and became the Army’s first African American Woman Combat Intelligence Pilot.

Ms. Chamberlain served on active duty during the Grenada/Panama Invasion and the Persian Gulf War with three tours in the Republic of Korea and Latin America. She is a General George C. Marshall Award Winner and Distinguished Military Graduate (Georgia Tech); graduate of the US Army Counterintelligence Human Intelligence Course, US Army Aviation Flight School, Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Schools, Joint Aerospace

Command and Control Course, Army Combined Arms Service Staff College and the Marine Corp Command and General Staff College. Ms. Chamberlain’s distinctive military career includes 15 years of service in the U.S. and abroad, two command posts and numerous civilian and military honors including the National Defense Service Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal and The Tuskegee Airmen Blades award. During flight school she became the sole mentee of the famous Willa Brown Chappell, the first African American woman to run for the U.S. Congress and historical American Aviatrix.

She later became a member of the Fort Rucker Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen Incorporated, honoring the legacy of her cousin, the famous Memphis Bomber Luke Weathers who was one of the original Tuskegee Airman with the 332nd Fighter Group.

Later in her career, her unit was sent to stabilize South Florida after the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew which

is considered the worst disaster in American History. It was during her time in South Florida that she decided to leave the Army. Prior to leaving, she was asked to come before various members of the Congressional House of Representatives Armed Services Committee to give information on why women pilots should be assigned to combat aviation units. When asked if she wanted to stay to continue her career, she responded “I have survived and hopefully this will open the door for future women who just want to fly for their country.” One year after leaving, the Department of Defense officially declared that women would be allowed to fly combat aviation aircraft throughout the services.

Today, she remains politically active and mentors young people toward success- including those who seek careers in aviation.
