    SquadronTraining & Education

    Aerospace EducationBy Silvia Scotti

    Aerospace Education is continuing in Squadron 10! The

    newest addition to the Aerospace Education team is SM

    Silvia Scotti.

    SM Scotti has been introducing aerospace to the new re-

    cruits. 1Lt Larry Buschell has been working with the cadets

    in creating models of the plane flown by Harriet Quimby.

    The month of March we celebrate Woman in AmericanHistory. Harriet Quimby was the first American Woman tobecome a licensed Pilot. She learned to fly in Hempstead,NY and received her license in August 1911. She was also

    the first woman to fly across the English channel. She died

    in a tragic accident when her plane crashed. Both she and

    her passenger were not wearing seat belts and they were

    tossed from the plane. Today all air crafts are equipped

    with seat belts.

    Our Fleet of these model planes is almost completed. The

    cadets will launch them on Tuesday April 18Th at the regu-

    lar meeting place.

    UPCOMING PLANS: We are looking to schedule a museum

    field trip to see the actual Harriet Quimby airplane, explore

    hot air ballooning, and will be having a course in Map

    Reading.

    Check out our Aerospace Education Bulletin Board.

    Please feel free to post interesting aerospace related arti-

    cles to share with your fellow cadets.

    I C E Following the disaster in London, the Ambu-lance Service have launched a national "In case of Emer-gency (ICE)" worldwide campaign.

    The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mo-

    bile phone address book, and against it enter the numberof the person you would want to be contacted "InCase of Emergency".

    In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staffwill then be able to quickly find out who your next of kinare and be able to contact them. It's so simple that every-one can do it. Please do.

    Please will you also email this to all the people you know,it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody willknow about this. It really could save your life, or put aloved one's mind at rest.

    For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

    Its a greatidea, store it inyour phonethen pass onthe message toyour family andfriends....

    UNIFORM OF THE DAY: The 1st Tuesday of the month isdress blues. All other meetings are BDUs unless told other-wise.
