1 Flight Captain: Joe Fitzpatrick Vice Flt. Capt: Bob Norman Adjutant: Walt Dietrich Treasurer: Chris Goff Provost ********************************************************************************************************************************* Marshall: Dave Devendorf CFIP: Steve Borden Page 1 of 7 Flight Captain s Corner The entire Flight was saddened to learn of the passing of Colonel (ret) Charlie McGugan, who made his last flight on Saturday, March 26th. Charlie was proud of his three + decades serving his country thru 3 wars. He was happy to call himself a World War II B-26 pilot, so much so his was "b26charlie". Charlie was a Life member of the Daedalians for thirty years. Most may not know this, but Charlie was the driving force behind our flag recognition program, having a flag flown over the US Capitol in honor of a member's 90th birthday. Charlie pushed for a flag for our first recipient, the late Maj Gen Strait, Charlie was our 3rd flag recipient. To date we have presented 8 flags. I will miss Charlie telling his stories of worldly travels and cruising on the high seas. His funeral was held on March 31st attended by members of the flight...god Speed B-26 pilot Charlie! At our March meeting we were honored to have the Golden Knight Commander, LTC Matt Weinrich, speak to us about the risk and rewards of his unit. He had a good point, at airshows this is normally the first and possibly the only time families will ever meet a soldier, his soldiers play an important role recruiting for all our services. Don't forget our June meeting has been slipped a week till June 30th so we can have Deborah Hersman tell about safety initiatives under way at the National Safety Council. This meeting is for spouses and significant others. month and the other reaching out to non-active and non-affiliated Daedalians. Please take some time to read them. Our April program will be a potpourri of topics, we will present our college AFROTC scholarship winner with a check from the Flight, we'll introduce our 2016 CFIP high JROTC cadet, and I will brief the flight on the proposals out of the National's membership meeting. Once again I'll miss a meeting, in May, this time the grandsons are calling us back again to Bangkok; this meeting will have past National Commander Lt Gen Nick Kehoe attend and tell us about the amendment proposals. I'll be back in time for our June meeting. Don t miss it!

March Meeting Our meeting had 17 members attending along with three guests and our guest speaker. The Flight Captain reviewed the status of our 2016 CFIP program. He discussed the status on disposition of our flight's memorabilia. Our guest speaker, LTC Matt Weinrich, Commander of the Golden Knights TEAM spoke about the mission they have to represent the US Army and soldier to the American public. In addition, they test and evaluate new jump equipment for the Army and then demonstrate and transfer the equipment to the special operators for employment in their missions. He told us the TEAM selection process and the tour lengths on the TEAM. All of us should be proud of the soldiers who have jumped or will jump into combat to protect the freedoms of this Nation.
