Even to people with extensive conventional flying time, the acroba tic maneuvers such as Immelman turns, barrel rolls, split-s’s and 1/2 Cuban eights performed for in terested persons by Lts. Steven Booher and Wally Brians of the Navy Aviation and recruiting team, can be upsetting, physically as well as men tally. The recruiting team has been out side the Memorial Student Center all week, but the acrobatic flights were completely booked by Monday afternoon. The recruiters said the Reserve Officer Training Corps do not pro vide the number of officers needed, so they recruit at the four-year uni versities. Lt. Booher, a one-time finalist for the Blue Angels (the Navy precision flying team), said getting airsick is a normal part of learning aerial acroba tics. “I got airsick half a dozen times when I began flying acrobatics,” he said. Before leaving Easterwood Air port, all passengers signed a waiver form, in case of any accident. After being outfitted with a fireproof suit, a helmet and a parachute, each passenger was instructed in emergency procedures. “If we have to evacuate the aircraft while air borne, this (the D-ring you pull to open the parachute) will be good for a free drink in any bar,’’said Booher. After takeoff, the passenger dubi ously pushed the parachute instruc tions to the back of his mind. Feeling a bit nervous but exuberant as the plane climbed away from the airport and up to 5000 ft., he experienced the unique adventure of aerial ac robatics.

TEXAS 693-1313 As the plane rolled into a maneu ver, the intercom echoed Booher’s off-key singing, while the passenger’s stomach complained about the unnatural motions it ex perienced. It was hard not to feel a little queasy, but it was even harder not to be thrilled by performing ma neuvers that were more the province of birds, rather than Aggies. Some of the maneuvers, such as inverted flight in which passengers actually stood on their heads on the canopy,and attack dives, which were easy until the centrifugal force tri pled their weight during the pull out, were especially hard on the stomach. Most initiates to acrobatic flying were relieved to be on the ground again after the flight. However, many of those who returned with fil led barf bags were disappointed when the 20-minute flights ended and were ready to try it again some time, but with a more empty stomach. Associated Press SAN DIEGO — The commander of the San Diego Marine Recruit Depot says he will not permit any decrease in the quality of training at the depot or the men it turns out. “We plan to furnish the same dis cipline, spirited Marines and treat them with firmness, fairness, dignity and compassion,” Maj. Gen. Ken neth Houghton said in his first inter view since the death of Pvt. Lynn McClure. McClure, 20, of Lufkin, Tex., was knocked unconscious by one of the padded ends of a pugil stick last Dec. 6. He died still unconscious in a Houston hospital March 13. An investigation has been com pleted by the Marine Corps and Houghton said he is studying it. Copies are expected to be made pub lic this week. The assistant base commander. Brig. Gen. David Twomey, said in an interview with the Washington Post that McClure’s death was very tragic. It should have never happened. |rpieo ts de Twomey said. “It’s a against the Corps. Ifsablad] against me because I waschiefi at the time.” Twomey said recruits reports the San Diego base and the Marine recruit base at Parris S.C., will find a welcome from the one that greeted Mi Some Marine drill ins (DIs) interviewed by the lieve new policies designed Jo i the training abuses will resultinalgcnts, failure rate ainond recruits, [petion Post reporter George Cjfiangfo interviewed a half dozen DIs* Pro!
