Flying a Navy Trainer Captivates Cedar Rapids CAP Cadets
Louise Lux recounts a Civil Air Patrol meeting at the Cedar Rapids training center headlined by a Mark IV navy navigational trainer. About 150 cadets aged 15 to 18 tested the trainer, learning altimeter, stabilizer and turn cues while joking about flying home to Mt. Vernon and back. Attendees included Lt Col Don Johnston and CAP leaders Capt Sumner Foster Major F Critz Hahn and Lt Robert Bell.
