RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE (AP) —John Smith is an instructor who instructs instructors. Smith, an Air Force captain, shows future instructors how to teach students to fly the T-37 Tweet trainer. “We teach them how to talk and fly at the same time,” he said. Smith is part of the 559th Flying Training Squadron at Randolph Air Force Base. The T-37 is considered one of the noisiest aircraft in the Air Force’s in ventory, but ideal for its purpose. “It’s called the 6,000-pound dog whistle, the Air Force’s method of turning jet fuel into noise for the Tweetosaurus,” Smith said jokingly, “but for all the noise it makes, it’s the best airplane to do the job — train pilots.” The squadron has flown 500,000 flying hours in the past 20 years without a major accident. “It takes about three months to train an instructor,” Smith said. “We teach them to air-analyze mistakes a student might make, aerobatics, nav igation, instruments and formation Military officer Warped shows teachers flight strategies by Scott McC.

Hying. “I play student and try to put them in the same situations an actual Joe Transfer student would (be in).” Smith said San Antonio is a diffi cult place to fly because of heavy air traffic — civilian and military — low clouds in the morning, bats at night and the frequent possibility of birds striking the aircraft during the day. Smith, 27, is an Air Force Aca demy graduate who grew up in the Air Force and plans to make it a ca reer. Smith said the squadron teaches quality, passing the concept on to each new instructor. “It gives me satisfaction to realize I personally can have a direct impact on hundreds of Air Force pilots,” he said.

FlUAU-Y INS to begin imposing sanction for hiring undocumented alieni Employers may face fines, civil penalties under new law ig very, p<mding. Statewii 986 Ses< park atu nd“nega ■ al eo tdecl try 1 lust in, sa DALLAS (AP) — The unpret dented use of employer sanctioi which the Immigration and Natura ization Service can begin imposim Tuesday, marks the dawn of an ex periment being conducted nation wide to blunt the continuing flow of undocumented aliens into the United States. The law is scheduled to take effect on Sept. 1. Under the law’s provisions, em ployers may be subjected to fines and civil penalties for knowingly hir ing undocumented aliens after Nov. 6, 1986. Hailed as an instrument to spoil the fruits of illegal immigration, em ployer sanctions have been dimin ished by an amnesty program estab- lished recently to legalize undocumented aliens. The sanctions, which form the core of the Immigration and Reform and Control Act of 1986, have cre ated tension among aliens whose bosses have begun issuing ultima tums — obtain a work permit by fil ing for amnesty before Sept. 1 or get fired. Until now, employers have avoided fines for hiring an undocu mented alien who said he would ap ply for amnesty. tions have had two immediate ef- ects. I ndocumented aliens have begun ■ dug to immigration centers mg amnesty to satisfy their f sses’ requests for documents prov- i they have the necessary work au thorization. Also, some aliens have been fired, a few unnecessarily, as employers haste to meet the Sept. 1 deadline. A six-week lull at the amnesty cen ter in Arlington ended last week as an average of about 80 additional applications for amnesty were filed each day. The rush of aliens seeking am nesty drove the total at the center to its daily capacity of 300 applications. But an INS spokesman said that, “We’re not going to writeH lion for a technical offenseiti® ployer shows a good-faith;® Jervis said. Employers are findingtkwl balanced on a thin, wobhl'Bp “We’re certainly not encouraging employers to make wholesale firings. They should inquire with their employees if they have applied for amnesty and, if not, why not. We’re not going to write a citation for a technical offense if the employer shows a good-faith effort. ” — Verne Jervis, Immigration and Naturalization Service spokesman in Washington IS ^ vno ployees who were hired after Nov. 6, 1986, must have work authorization instead of promises to seek amnesty. The impending employer sanc- begin a scramble to avoid sanctions. “We’ve got a load,” Richard Rios, director of the Houston INS center, said. “Sept. 1 is really pressing us . . . bringing more people to our doors,” Rios said. In Houston, police were sum moned to disperse 300 aliens who pounded on windows and de manded entry after INS officials at the Houston center turned them away Aug. 18. The tension was partly fostered by for the time being, investigators will not cite or penalize employers for re taining undocumented workers af ter Sept. 1 if the employer has made a good-faith attempt to ensure that the workers will be legalized. “We’re certainly not encouraging employers to make wholesale fir ings,” Verne Jervis, INS spokesman in Washington, said. “They should inquire with their employees if they have applied for amnesty and, if not, why not,” he said. rope. 1 hey must verify thelepil of everyone hired after bl while avoiding discrimina I suits for wrongfully firiffil aliens or refusing to hirt| Americans. “I’m advising themiftli'l have the I-688A (an amnefl permit) by September, theil terminate them,” said Dallasl Harry Joe, a certified inffi g law specialist who counselil employers.
