Group Emergency Services 1/2 Aircraft incident at Royalton airport: Sat, 5 JUL, an “Ultralight” or LSA crashed shortly after takeoff from Royalton. Capt Bob Wantuck was in the area on a training sortie and was contacted by Royalton UNICOM to see if he could assist. Capt Wantuck, although flying solo, performed a search of the area, located the downed aircraft and helped direct rescuers to the aircraft. This was an outstanding find by Capt Wantuck. Constant Watch 14 communications exercise - 21-22 JUN: HF radio stations at Jamestown and NFAFB operational both days. VHF mobile station active at Akron airport Sat, 21 JUN. 5 WNY members participated. NYW was very happy to have us join in. SAREX “On The Border” - 12-13 JUL: WNY Group was assigned a search area from the Peace Bridge along the Lake Erie shore to the NY/PA border, one of the longest segments in NYW. Last sortie was switched to cover Lake Ontario from the Niagara River to Braddock Bay near Rochester. Special thanks to Capt Bob Wantuck who flew all three sorties,and Lt Col Jerry Terhaar who flew as the evaluator on all three sorties. Also thanks to Capt Tom Joneson who acted as a mobile radio relay between Dunkirk and Ripley NY in his POV. One trainee was on every sortie. Very low turnout by qualified members, especially base staff. Base was understaffed, trained and trainee cadets handled most radio communications and MSA tasks. The cadets worked very hard and did an outstanding job! Upcoming Training events - NER Aircrew school – Information sent to units. 17-23 AUG., SARTAC Ground Team School. Hampton Bays NY. Application period open at www.nysartac.org 12-14 SEPT. SARTAC Aircrew school, Rochester NY. Pending approval. NYW SAREX. “Firewatch” exercise. Dates and details TBA. Notes - We need to increase our member participation in training exercises. Col Perta has made this an emphasis item. Funding is available, if we need assistance with local training, we can request it from NYW & FLG on an as available basis. The attendance at the SAREX last weekend was extremely low, especially on the Senior member side. This did have a negative impact on our ability to conduct training for ground team and base staff positions..
