I’d like to wish each of you a happy and memorable holiday season. May it be all that you hope and bring a few pleasant surprises, as well. If you are working, away from your loved ones on holidays, your col-leagues, your company and the traveling public thank you, though they may not have the opportunity to say it to you personally. Our editor recently told me the story of a time she was flying back from Paris on Christmas Day. Days before, at a holiday dinner party, she had been given a delicate yet inexpensive ornament as a re-membrance, but she doubted it would ever make it home in one piece. When she arrived at the gate, she gave the ornament to a young woman assigned to the flight along with her expressed appreciation for the sacrifice the young woman was surely making working on Christmas Day. The gate agent seemed touched by the token and offered her thanks with a smile, a tiny tear and then an appreciative hug. As she boarded, our editor re-ceived another expression of thanks – a wink and an upgrade to first class for the long flight from CDG to JFK. On the flight deck, I think we miss a lot of the human moments that touch our customer service colleagues every day. But, we do always try to gift our passengers with a safe, pleasant flight and a smooth landing.
We have some history for you this month, as we observe 115 years of aviation. (Thank you Messrs. Wright!) I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy the nostalgia and good advice in these pages. Of course, the Grids are awaiting your attention if you’re looking for a career move. Until next year, I wish you joy in all you do and always …
Fly safe,
Craig Pieper

The November issue of Aero Crew News is full of valuable and interesting information, especially relevant to you. Featured last month is Trans States Airlines, one of the original regional airlines that was founded in the early 1980s. Read about its company culture and its flow program into Frontier. In her second installment of Self-Defense for Flight Crews, Valerie Walker points to the importance of situational awareness and gives pointers on honing yours. Returning this month in Cockpit to Cockpit, Marc Himelhoch explains the various “rigs” to examine when you’re comparing contracts and considering their impact on your quality of life. Joshua Dils provides some excellent suggestions for smartphone applications to improve your health and fitness in his Pilot Fitness article. We also include a couple of good reads related to weather. Meet Anthony C. Lorenti in his new column, Squall Line and read how weather played into Joel Gibbons’ first day off of high minimums as a captain. Being prepared is what flight crews live every day and it should be no different when considering your financial life. This month, Steve Anglin’s Money column illuminates the paths and plans you need to consider should your career by rerouted. Continuing with the all-important topic of money, Jonathan Kulak addresses mortgage interest rate facts and fictions in his Mortgage Matters piece. And of course mortgage matters when you’re buying a property which is a good tactic for wealth building, and Tracy DuCharme outlines 16 reasons to support owning over renting in her piece this month. As always, the Grids are available for you. We welcome your feedback on any topic. Write us at [email protected].

Great news for the Envoy team, as American Airlines announced that it is exercising options for 15 additional Embraer 175 (E175) aircraft
and that they will be operated by Envoy. These new aircraft are expected to begin arriving at a rate of three per month, starting in early 2020.
This is in addition to the 25 E175s currently on order that begin arriving later this month and continue through 2019. By mid-2020, Envoy’s E175 fleet will have nearly doubled to 84 jets from where it is today. In total, Envoy’s fleet numbers more than 170 aircraft, including over 100 44 and 50-seat Embraer regional jets. This new aircraft will position Envoy to continue growing and expanding its service to American.
“I am grateful to each of you for all you do to contribute to our success and earn American’s continued support,” said President and CEO Pedro Fábregas in a letter to Envoy employees. “Growth like this is only possible when we pull together to maintain a safe, reliable, high-quality and cost efficient operation for our customers.”
“Each new aircraft we welcome to the Envoy fleet represents more jobs and greater opportunity for all of us.

Ameriflight has entered into a pilot pathway agreement with Atlas Air, Inc. and Southern Air, Inc., subsidiaries of Atlas Air Worldwide
Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAWW), that guarantees Ameriflight pilots an interview with Atlas after as little as three years of service. The collaboration is intended to offer an outlined path under which pilots can gain unparalleled flying experience at Ameriflight and accumulate the experience needed to proceed to Atlas Air and Southern Air.
Atlas Air Worldwide is widely recognized as a leading global provider of outsourced Boeing 747, 777, 767, 757 and 737 aircraft and aviation operating services. With a focus on express, e-commerce and fast-growing mar-kets, the company is in an era of significant growth and development, with opportunities to expand its cargo and passenger operations with existing customers and new ones.

Southern Air subject to hiring needs and meeting all program and hiring requirements.
Under the program, a Pathway Pilot reaching the out-lined benchmarks will be recommended for Atlas’ ATP/CTP program. Successful completion of the program and acceptance of employment will result in the pilot being placed in an aircraft class, such as the 747 with Atlas Air for higher-time pilots or the 737 with Southern Air for lower-time, new-hire pilots.
“Our partnership with Atlas Air and Southern Air pro-vides an exceptional career advancement opportunity for our pilots,” says Ameriflight Chief Executive Officer Paul Chase. “We have made a commitment to our team and the industry that Ameriflight will be the nation’s top place for pilots to become professional, major-air-line ready, aviators. This is why we choose to align ourselves with the world’s best companies, like Atlas Air Worldwide. ”
“We are pleased to form this special relationship with Ameriflight,” said Atlas Air President and Chief Operat-ing Officer, John W. Dietrich. “Our business is growing, and our airlines are a great place to build a career. Innovative partnerships like this one help us ensure a solid pipeline of qualified candidates dedicated to a career in aviation, which is at the center of today’s modern global economy.” ACN

TARGETS
The attacker’s eyes
You rarely see actors having a fight in the movies going for gouging the eyes. That’s because it usually means a real fight is ended before it begins and it’s just not macho enough to seem fair. In the real world, if you gouge with the intent of doing real damage or taking the eyes out, it doesn’t matter how powerful, big, or strong the bad guy is, they forget about attacking you and concentrate on getting away from the pain and threat to their eyes. It’s one of nature’s subliminal prime directives for survival. The reason predators prefer weak, unaware, or ill targets is that it requires less risk of damage to themselves. A blind or crippled lion doesn’t survive long without becoming prey itself. The same animal instinct and reaction to extreme pain is present in humans and overrides our conscious commands.
The attacker’s fingers
Like eye gouges, releasing one’s hold on you by seizing a finger and breaking it or bending it back will work, too. It works quicker and far better than grabbing their arms or hands and trying to match strength for strength. There will always be someone bigger, stronger, or more well trained than you. The police tactic that applies to this is “Control the hand, control the man.” (I can expand on the techniques you can use for this, as well as breaking holds, joints and disarming attackers if you’re seated and strapped in with the attacker behind you. That tactic alone requires a short illustrated article.)

Self Defense for Flight CrewsPART 3. Self Defense Tools and Targets
TOOLS and TARGETS addresses physically defending yourself by attacking and neutralizing the threat. This isn’t the civilized predictable world within the dojo or the clean, imaginary world of movie fights. FIGHT
DIRTY and keep fighting. Fight like your life depends on it because in all likelihood, it will. In Part 1 and Part 2 of Self-Defense for Flight Crews, we covered the mental chess game that is self -defense and how to turn a would-be attacker’s predator mindset into the mindset of the prey. We covered what the OODA loop is and how to avoid being paralyzed in “Decide” mode. Part 2 explored the Five Stages of Situational Awareness and the daily exercises that will improve your situational awareness immediately until it becomes habitual. Part three of Self-Defense for Flight Crews covers the sets of the most effective and easily used physical tools your body has, and how to hit the most vulnerable and available targets of your attacker. These aren’t the only tools or targets you can use, but they are the ones that don’t require a great deal of strength or the skillful accuracy of a martial artist to be wickedly effective. The objective of Tools and Targets is to neutralize the threat so that you can get away without the threat getting up and attacking you again.

December 2018 | 17
The attacker’s groin
We’re all familiar with why this works. Kicks, grabs and punches still work, even if the attacker is behind you and has you in a bear hug. Specifically, spur kicks with your heel and a grab and twist action are effective.
The attacker’s fingers, knees, and elbow joints
It only takes five to seven pounds of force to break a knee joint, even less an elbow or finger. Kicking a knee out from the front or side is a break. Kicking or pushing the bend in the knee from the back collapses the opponent. With a break, you take out their base and they can’t pursue you. Your goal is to attack and neutralize the threat. Break points force the joints in the opposite direction of the way they’re made to bend. Collapse points, like those found where the hips connect to the thigh, the elbow, knees, fingers and shoulders make the joint bend when pushed or kicked to collapse the arm, legs or torso of your opponent.
The attacker’s throat
Attacking someone’s throat is probably one of the most lethal targets you can aim for, which explains why so many attackers go for yours. We have two carotid arteries, located on each side of the neck, which supply all blood flow to the brain. Putting pressure on these with hands or a headlock can cause a loss of consciousness in six to ten seconds. A minute or more of choking results in death. If it’s just a ten-second full-on choke and then you release, they should regain consciousness in about five or six seconds. This is why you should never practice chokes without the supervision of a professional.
Along with the two major sources of blood to our brains, the throat also contains our only airway, the trachea, and our spinal column. If you put your finger on that beautiful delicate indentation in your throat called the “neck dimple” or laryngeal prominence, and push (gently down and in) you’ll see why a fist, elbow, or even a finger here is so effective. A heavy hit to this area will crush the trachea, break the hyoid bone and result in the windpipe swelling shut and very probably death in approximately 5 minutes. Again, NEVER hit anyone in the throat unless you intend to severely injure them. A thumb or fingers in the neck dimple, however, should dissuade them from hurting you.
The attacker’s ears
Cupped or flat palms aggressively slapping the sides of your attacker’s head over the ears stuns them. A percussive strike like this causes severe pain and has the potential to burst their eardrums.
The attacker’s nose
Fortunately or unfortunately, what you’ve heard about hitting someone’s nose and driving a bone into their brain isn’t true. The nose is mostly composed of cartilage. That said, it’s still a very effective target because of its delicate nerves, the immediate pain and stun factor when hit.
The attacker’s head
The head may sound like it is too broad a target. The reason I’m including it in this very brief list of potential body targets is because controlling your attacker’s head is another popular tool used by law enforcement to control their own attackers. Wherever your head turns, the body follows. The hooked bones that literally connect your skull to your vertebrae are a relatively fragile structure called the occipital bone and the Atlas, or the atlanto-occipital joint. If an attacker has you against a wall or on the ground, an upward elbow or heel palm to the chin will knock him back. If you’re standing or up against a wall, this is particularly effective in keeping him on his heels. Always keep going into the attacker and keep striking or pushing upwards under the chin to keep them off balance or drop them. Grabbing the head or the hair close to the scalp and twisting the head to the side and down can turn or throw them. Bear in mind that it can also break a person’s neck and kill or paralyze them. Be judicious and responsible in a non-life threatening environment. If you opt to practice, do so under the watchful eye of a professional and be very gentle in anything involving head/neck manipulation.
There are many more targets I haven’t yet mentioned, but these are a few of the best. A good rule of thumb in a real life situation is: ALWAYS KEEP HITTING THE CLOSEST TARGET WITH YOUR CLOSEST TOOL. This creates many more targets in one strike, a smoother natural flow, speed and efficiency of movement. It’s also important to keep your balance. That means feet shoulder width apart with knees slightly bent. (Locking your knees makes it easy to push you off balance.) Stay loose and relaxed. This allows you to breathe, move and
![Page 18: Aviation History - Aero Crew News · Day.

absorb impacts better. Keep your posture upright head over shoulders and don’t weave around unless you’re dodging punches. Remember, the body follows where the head goes, so if you throw your head around outside of your alignment center, you’ll throw yourself off balance.
TOOLS
As in TARGETS, there are many more tools you have at your disposal than the few I’m going to list for you here. I’ve chosen these particular tools because they’re powerful, a natural go-to, and they don’t require a great deal of accuracy. Even an advanced martial artist or marksman loses 60% of their fine motor skills in a stressful situation. Tools are just something you use to strike at the target. A good rule of thumb is: NEVER HIT ANYTHING HARDER THAN YOUR TOOL WITH YOUR TOOL.
Feet
Your feet can be used to kick, stomp, or push targets on your attacker. Kicks are good tools for keeping attackers with knives at a distance and away from you. Make your kicks low and fast to avoid being cut or having your leg grabbed. Kick the knees and take out their base. If you’re going to do a front snap-kick, keep your toes turned up and strike with the ball of your foot. If you’ve ever had a jammed or broken toe you know why.
Elbows
Elbows are one of my favorite tools. You can strike in any direction with elbows. They’re strong, solid bones with a lot of muscle power behind them. Most fights happen in close proximity where fists have little room. The hand is a delicate structure with 27 small fragile bones, nerves and joints, better used for grappling, eye pokes and more detailed strikes. There are upward elbow strikes, side elbows, back elbows and downward elbows designed to use gravity to take your opponent down.
Knees
Everything I’ve said about elbows applies to knees except for the omnidirectional advantage of elbows. The closest tool to the closest target is great for close proximity groin shots. If you’ve doubled your attacker over, a knee to the head combined with a downward elbow should neutralize the threat.
Hands
Hands are great for grappling, grabbing fingers, ears, hair and jabbing eyes as well as percussive strikes to the ears. Heel palms are good tools to keep your attacker retreating on their heels. Fists are good at distances closer than long kicks. Fists will be a natural first go-to tool in a real fight. Just don’t forget your other options and don’t forget

to avoid or block the threat first. Remember ACA (AVOID the threat / CONTROL the threat / ATTACK and neutralize the threat).
Forearms
This overlooked tool is good for clotheslining your attacker’s throat, strikes and generally pushing them back.
Head butts
Again, never hit anything harder than your head with your head. A rear head butt to your attacker’s face (particularly the nose area) is a great way to defend yourself from a being grabbed and held from behind. Front head butts are best used striking your attackers nose with your forehead. You’ll get your own bell rung if you hit something harder.
THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN DEALING WITH GUNS AND KNIVES
ACA = Avoid / Control / Act (neutralize the threat)
GUNS
I would rather have the barrel of a gun against my head or body because it’s much easier to avoid it, control it and use it against my attacker when I know where it is and can reach it. Realistically, the bullet is not really going to get to the target any slower from a few feet away. A simple sideways pivot with your elbows against your body and your hands up can get you out of the line of fire if done quickly and correctly, while simultaneously blocking, grasping and controlling the weapon. The reaction time it takes for a shooter to realize what you’re doing, decide to pull the trigger and send the signal from the brain to the trigger finger response is roughly 31/100 of a second in prepared police trials. This is considerably slower than the 9/100ths of a second it takes for you to pivot out of the way and control the weapon. Action beats reaction. The muzzle of the gun is the only threat. When you control that, you control the situation. In controlling the barrel you can grab it from below or above, even from the side although below or above the barrel is best for leveraging it out of the opponent’s grasp. Grabbing the barrel firmly from above has the added advantage of stopping the slide from feeding a bullet into the chamber or firing

if it’s a semiautomatic hand gun. The object is to never, ever let the muzzle of the gun cross anything you don’t want shot, especially you. And NEVER cover the muzzle of the gun with your hand while controlling the barrel. It’s fine if the barrel points at your attacker, in fact, there is a seated technique that will not only prevent you from being shot but will force your attacker to shoot themselves. But that’s something that needs to be thoroughly explored and understood in another article and trained in person.
KNIVES
In a knife fight you WILL get cut. It’s a close contact attack. Make sure your cuts aren’t in lethal areas as you’re defending yourself. Avoid exposing the inside of your wrists, arms and legs to the knife. That’s where major veins and arteries are. Of course, there’s also your neck to consider. Tucking your chin tightly into your chest and your forearms (wrists towards your face) provides some protection to your throat against both knives and chokes. If you can keep the attacker away from you using kicks, a tool like a stick or broom, or wrap cloth like a coat around the forearm you’re blocking with is preferable to close contact. Striking the attacker’s wrist or hand sharply with a stick can also make him release it. Again, these techniques require a more in-depth article at a later time.
In closing, I hope that I’ve given you one or two things that will work for you. A few self- defense moves practiced many times are far more effective than many martial arts moves practiced a few times. The mindset is even more important than tools and targets. You’ve already come a long way toward living a happier, more aware and safer life. Please pass on anything that you feel is of value to your friends, family and co-workers. Caution them to use what they learn responsibly and carefully. As with all things, the good or bad consequences of power depend on how each of us chooses to use it. Use it wisely to preserve and protect yourself and others. Happy trails and Safe Skies. ACN

One of the most difficult, yet simple things in life, is human interaction. As a member of the crew, we must interact efficiently with each other and
also with all the people around us so the operation runs successfully. Without a doubt, this is one of the most important yet often overlooked, aspects of CRM.
As a first officer with a regional airline, I fly with hun-dreds of captains. I’ve had my share of great captains and very few not so great ones. One might even fly with a couple of different captains in a day. Every captain’s way of running the cockpit is a little different – not dra-matically different because of our training, but certain aspects of how the operation will run when the door closes will vary. Every pilot has little unwritten things done their own way. For example, after landing, when turning the APU on, we sometimes switch the APU bleed to off. This is done by some because in our plane you get a quick whiff of burnt fuel through the ventilation system. In our company, it’s not written anywhere that this should or should not be done. The problem arises when this is done with a captain who doesn’t. You could hear about it. I have been chewed out a time or two. Rule of thumb: Stick to the company procedures and when in doubt, ask.
Sometimes a little juggling will be necessary, like when you’re handling two frequencies, switching runway as-signment, preparing the FMS, sending for performance data for the new runway, starting the remaining engine, running the checklists, calling flight attendants, etc., all while taxiing and looking for other planes. Sometimes
you don’t have the luxury of stopping or getting all of this done before you move. You’ll need to be a cha-meleon, and to adapt and overcome. The aviator must have flexibility within their skill-set. With time you will cultivate a good sense of how the majority of crews handle things and you will develop that second na-ture. Then, you will just have to modify the little things among the big. This is what flying is all about; adapting to every challenge that presents itself.
In rare cases, simply being flexible may not be enough. When a problem arises, the first course of action is to talk it through with other involved parties. Most of the time this takes care of the problem and nothing more need be done. But. if talking it through doesn’t resolve the issue, the next step would be talk to your compa-ny’s professional standards office. Beyond that, go to someone at your local Union. If all else fails, you’ll need to talk to your chief pilot. Because communication in the cockpit is paramount, it cannot break down!
The bottom line here is to remember that everyone is different. We all fly together and each of us develop our own habits of operating within our confined, little world. Always take into account each other’s process-es to work together toward the goal of completing the flight successfully and safely. ACN

AVIATION RELOCATION
The holiday season is here! Nothing beats spending money on a gift for your spouse, child or friend and seeing their eyes
light up. The same can’t be said for spending money on loan interest. Last month, we took a look at four common myths about mortgage interest rates. This month we’re going to talk about some key ways to get a lower interest rate so you can focus more on gifts and less on interest. The three biggest factors lenders use to determine what rate to offer are your credit score, the loan to value (LTV) and the type of mortgage.Let’s talk credit scores. It’s no secret that your cred-
it score plays an important role in what interest rate you’re offered. Your lender will pull all three of your credit reports/scores to pre-qualify you for a purchase and to eventually lock you at an interest rate. Each credit bureau’s score will be a little different so lenders will use the middle of your three scores. Your credit is only “pulled” with your approval once you agree to move forward. With that in mind, there are some easy ways to ensure your credit is the best it can be. You can prepare for your credit to be pulled by doing things like lowering your balance on a credit card, paying off a monthly credit card like an American Express, or by simply making your monthly payments on time. If you have a high balance because you haven’t yet made your monthly payment, then it’s a good idea to wait to pull the credit score until you have paid.
What most people don’t realize is that your credit score can be improved very quickly. If you’re not happy with your credit score, pay down a credit card balance or

About the Author
make a payment then ask your lender to do a rapid rescore. You’ll be amazed how much of a difference it can make. I’ve seen borrower’s credit scores increase overnight by 10-25 points by simply lowering their cred-it utilization through these methods. The catch is you have to do it before your rate is locked. Once your rate is locked, there is no going back.
Let’s now move on to the loan to value ratio. LTV is de-termined by your down payment. For example, if you’re buying a house for $100,000 and you make a $20,000 down payment, your LTV is 80%. In general, loans with a higher LTV carry more risk because Wall Street believes the borrower has less “skin in the game.” Basically, the higher the LTV the higher the interest rate. Typi-cally, you’ll see a lower rate as you cross from 97% to 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, and 60% loan to val-ue. You’ll also lower your private mortgage insurance (PMI) monthly costs as you cross these same levels and eliminate it completely at 80% LTV. Lower or no PMI can significantly reduce your monthly mortgage pay-ment making an increased down payment a win both in interest rate and PMI.
The same does not apply for government-backed loans like a Veterans Administration (VA) or US Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan. They allow 100% financing with no down payment. Since these mortgages are govern-ment-backed, little to no down payment does not hurt your interest rate. Plus, PMI is not charged with govern-ment backed loans.
Finally, mortgage type greatly effects your interest rate. Some loans are considered riskier than others. Understandably, the higher the risk the higher the rate. Mortgages are originated through your lender and then sold to Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. By selling your mortgage, the lender can relend that money to other borrowers. The Enterprises package all of their loans into mort-gage-backed securities (MBS) which are then sold on Wall Street to investors. Investors buy the MBS to receive a return on investment based on the perceived risk. Government-backed loans such as VA, USDA, and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are considered less risky to investors because the Federal Government has an interest if a borrower stops making payments and the mortgage goes into foreclosure. Less risk means a lower interest rate.
The same rule applies to occupancy status. If you’re buying a primary residence you’ll get a lower rate than if you’re buying an investment property to rent out. MBS Investors believe a borrower is more likely to stop making payments on an investment property than their primary residence.
This principle also applies to the loan amount. Jum-bo loans (any loan over $453,100) have higher interest rates than conforming loans (loans below the $453,100 threshold). If you’re looking for the lowest rate, you’ll get the best deal on a government-backed, primary residence, conforming mortgage.
Understanding how interest rates are determined will save you a lot of money over the life of a 30-year loan. What I’ve explained here are what I believe to be the three most important factors when I quote a loan for a client. There are more variables in the equation so make sure to ask your loan originator what you could do to get an even better deal. You’ll be surprised how a small change can make a big difference and save you thousands of dollars.

By the time you are reading this, Thanksgiving is behind us and the holiday travel schedules are in full swing with 2018 drawing to a close. For crewmembers, November and December are busy flying months forcing the majority of us to be away from those we care about during the holidays. This can
be a time of stress which can manifest itself in a variety of ways based individually on how we manage that stress. Issues like time away from family, full flights, difficult commutes, and navigating complex winter operations compound the anxiety. Discounting depression or other chemical imbalances, it is our perspectives that shapes this reality. Basically, it’s a matter of our mindset – as told in the words of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “…for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”

It is within this spirit that we create our own reality. While there are numerous things beyond our control (like those mentioned above), in addition to the sched-ules we are awarded, overnights, crews and so on, with a bit of creativity we can manipulate certain things to our advantage. For instance, two years ago I was on reserve over Thanksgiving. I received a short call out to fly SFO-JFK on Thanksgiving and be away from family. Thankfully the flight loads allowed me to bring my wife and we had a great time exploring New York City the following day making it one of the more memorable holidays I’ve had! This year, knowing that I would most likely be gone flying over the actual holidays, we are lumping our holiday celebrations together over a two-week family vacation during the down time between the holidays. This is illustrative of how thinking outside the box can shape a situation to our benefit!
Another hot topic we find ourselves obsessing over during the holidays is food – and rightfully so. All of our social gatherings are centered around food, the major-ity of which can be rich and not aligned with a healthy diet. Also, certain social rules may apply when we are guests in someone else’s home, like the pressure to en-joy the food they have prepared for us. Navigating this can be like walking a tight rope between sticking to our health plans and being a courteous guest. We do have choices though, such as enjoying the meal, realizing it’s just one day. Also, if you have dietary preferences that are not flexible, for the benefit of all, offer to bring something that everyone can enjoy.
Our mindset is a key component, so don’t get down if you find yourself straying from your health goals. One day “off the wagon” doesn’t erase months, or even years, of health gains. If you need to relax your health goals for just a day to spend time with family, it’s just one day. It is not a reason to just resign and revert back to your old self. Make plans for this ahead of time to keep yourself accountable and get back on track the day after and don’t think of this as a cheat-day asso-ciated with diets. Remember, 98% of diets fail. A small bump in the road within the scope of a lifelong dedi-cated plan won’t even register over the long run. So be realistic, enjoy the time with family, or your crews while on a trip, all the while providing yourself some balance.
A noticeable trend around the holidays is a decrease in motivation to workout. Let’s not freeze in place! Cou-pled with shorter days and colder weather, we are less inclined to seek outside activities and slip into a winter slumber. This provides all the more reason to sharpen our focus and plan ahead to incorporate some type

of movement despite these additional barriers. This is emphasized by the fact that exercise is beneficial to our mental health and can naturally curtail the acute effects of mild depression and anxiety of the holiday blues (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-works-and-why/201803/why-exercise-is-so-es-sential-mental-health). Naturally, exercise increases activity in the hippocampus which can keep us out of an unhealthy, repetitive mental loop that is representa-tive of mental ills while it increases our serotonin levels which make us feel good.
One key component to health and stress management that gets little light, is maintaining our social network. This is a time for us to go out of our way to include our crews as family and reach out. However, even with the best intentions, creative planning and optimism, we sometimes slip into a downward spiral of coping with holiday stresses through unhealthy outlets. This can be a time of isolation for many of us, so it is import-ant to know what resources are available to you and use them. The Human Intervention Motivation Study (HIMS) program is a great resource if your company has adopted and approved an internal HIMS program. If not, for additional resources depending on what kind of support you are seeking, you can visit this section of their website (http://www.himsprogram.com/Content/Resources).
So what’s the take away? The ability to alter our per-spectives of our holiday schedules can make all the difference. Add in some schedule flexibility while keeping a laser focus on our lifestyle goals will provide the motivation to stay on track. Find healthy outlets for dealing with added holiday stress. Light exercise, meditation, stretching/yoga, or even reach out to the resources of the HIMS program. Incorporate your crews and have some fun! Lastly, we don’t have to wait for the New Year’s resolution to enact change.

MONEY
Recently, the stock markets have seen an uptick in volatility. Lately, increased unpredictability (large daily swings, late
day sell-offs and the occasional large, intraday increase due to “bottom feeding”) has been more of the norm, creating anxiety for some, but opportunity for others –depending on how it’s viewed. To keep this in perspective, I want to provide some data for you to consider. The market is still up more than 30% since the end of 2016. In the last eight months, the market has ended higher each month than the end of the month before, and has ended up higher in 11 of the last 18 months. Some opine that one of the reasons for the recent drop was that the market was overvalued, overheated, and quite simply needed a breather. These 10% corrections are normal and healthy for market valuations to reset, but because they haven’t occurred much recently, it’s more difficult for us to process.
Basically, there were four other reasons for the recent increase in volatility. The first is that the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates. In a healthy economy, the Fed does not want runaway inflation, so they begin to raise rates in an attempt to slow growth. If the mar-ket perceives this rate rise to be too much too soon, this action could have negative impact. History indicates that we can have a rising stock market alongside rising interest rates. The second reason for increased volatility is continuing talks with China over tariffs and trade concerns. There is some recent indica-tion that these talks have been positive, which is providing some market relief. The third reason is owed to computer-based trading programs. In large part, the buying and selling of stock is accomplished by computer-based algorithms that do not involve a human. These programs do not account for the fundamen-tals of a company’s balance sheet, debt re-structuring, earnings per share, potential for growth, etc. They are programed to buy or sell

in large blocks which can sometimes have a significant effect on market moves. Often, these moves occur late in the day after 1400, which is why last month, we saw great fluctu-ations during the last couple hours of trading. The fourth reason was the uncertainty of the midterm elections. Congressional swings can affect the market, at least over the short term.
Worth noting and remembering is a quote by Warren Buffet: “Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fear-ful.” Recently, I read the following eye-opener in an article in The Motley Fool: “If you bought an S&P index fund in 1998 and held it until the end of 2007, you achieved a 301% total return. However, if you missed the best five days during that entire period, your total return would drop to 66%. If you missed the 20 best days during that entire 20-year period, your total return would be just 26%.”1 This sums
up why those who have a desire to go to cash or treasuries during periods of volatility should not. You simply can’t time the market so you nev-er know how day-to-day results will affect your overall return.
It has been proved over and over that it is most important to develop a long-term plan and stick with it. Equities still remain the play for long term investing and provide the best opportunity to outpace inflation and provide for the potential of adequate capital appreciation. It’s that roller-coaster ride that isn’t easy to stomach. ACN

sell in big numbers. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 506,000 existing homes were sold in June 2014 but another 387,000 were sold in December 2013, during the dead of winter. Those December sales represented transactions worth more than $75 billion – not a number to be ignored. In fact, there’s a case to be made that selling during the holiday season – say from late November to mid-January – might well be a good and profitable idea. Here are six important reasons why.

1. The school calendar doesn’t matter to as many households as it did in the past. Figures from the Census Bureau show that between 1970 and 2012, the share of households that were made up of married couples with children under age 18 fell from 40% to 20%. Overall, the government says that 77.8 million U.S. households include no children under age 18. These figures tell us that tens of millions of potential buyers are perfect-ly able to move at any of the year with-out school schedule worries.
2. There may be less competition for buy-ers during the winter. The NAR says that in June 2014, there was a 5.5 months’ supply of unsold homes, a number that was up substantially from 4.6 months in December 2013. In other words, while there were fewer sales in December when compared with June, there were also fewer houses for sale, which in some cases meant less competition for sellers.
3. When people have to move, they have to move. We live in a changing economy. According to the Census Bureau, household incomes fell 8.7% between 1999 and 2013. Good jobs are hard to get, even for highly qualified individuals. No less important, they’re also hard to keep, in this era of down-sizing and outsourcing. The result is that in addition to all the usual reasons people move year-round, there’s now a new incentive: If a good job opens in a distant location, would you turn it down, even in winter? The Census Bu-reau estimates that in 2013, 7.2 million people moved to a different state. It’s hard to imagine that such migrations didn’t involve many job-based moves.
4. Taxes may cause people to move. For some borrowers it may be important
to buy and settle before December 31. The IRS says that you can deduct real estate taxes, as long as you’ve paid them either at settlement or closing, or to a taxing authority (either di-rectly or through an escrow account) during the year. Alternatively, if closing takes place January 3, the benefit of tax deductions may be delayed for a year. Speak with a tax professional for specifics.
5. You may save money by selling during the holidays. Let’s say you have a home with a $2,000 monthly mortgage. The prime selling time in your area is June and July, but what if you put the house up for sale in November, De-cember or January? If the house sells, you may be able to avoid six months of mortgage payments which in this example is $12,000. That can be a good deal if it also means you can get into your replacement home more quickly.
6. Wallets are often brimming with cash during the holidays. It’s tough to assemble money for a down pay-ment and closing costs, but for many households, the time when savings are strongest occurs at year-end. This happens because the holiday season is often associated with overtime, gifts, tips and bonuses, meaning that bank accounts can be a little fuller than they might otherwise.
So the next time someone says real estate doesn’t sell during holidays, remind them of that $75 billion in transactions as well as the many reasons buyers want to buy and sellers want to sell. ACN

As a child, Laslo Zamolyi Jr. was always a dreamer. During school, he longed to be outside, frequently gazing out the window,
much to the chagrin of his teachers. He wanted big things, he wanted to explore the edges of the mountaintops and feel the way the ground would disappear beneath him when one day, he would finally fly in an airplane. He gleefully recalls how he was scolded by teachers, parents, by those who grew impatient with his daydreaming, and he laughs when he mimics their chastising. However, as he grew older, his mother became ill with multiple sclerosis; she was bound to a wheelchair and Laslo, along with his two sisters, assumed the role of her caretaker.
His family history is rich, and deeply mired in hard work, with generations before him that had migrated to the United States to escape war-torn Hungary. Laslo’s grandfather was a farmer who had built himself up from very little, and he expected that his son would follow in his footsteps. Laslo’s father, however, had different plans. At the age of seventeen, after being denied permission to attend college by his staunch father, he ran away to the United States. Twenty years later, his brother – Laslo’s uncle – would also make the trek across the ocean.
The fact that Laslo’s father had been forbidden to attend a university had always stuck with him so
he insisted that Laslo attend college to ensure a better life. And, Laslo was determined to make his father proud. In eleventh grade, Laslo met the girl who would eventually become his wife, and she supported his dream of adventure. He enrolled in college and pursued a degree in Aeronautics. He joined the Air Force ROTC program and committed to the Air Force when he was eighteen.
Laslo is a handsome man still, charming, and his ruddy features make him appear perpetually sun-kissed. Photos of a younger Laslo show dark, deep eyes, and a solid set in his shoulders, like he planned to go places in life. Ever the romantic, though miles apart while Laslo attended college, he and his sweetheart became pen pals, spending precious coins sending constant, old-fashioned, hand-written letters. In the summer of 1961, the two decided to get married and start a new life, together, in the same city. She was a nurse at the local hospital in St. Louis, when he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. He laughs as he tells this story, jokingly shocked at his own success.

“I graduated from college, got married, and was commissioned
in the Air Force, all within two weeks of my twenty-first
birthday. You tell someone that today, and they’d laugh, say it was impossible, kids these
days don’t do that. Which … it’s true. They don’t!” He erupts into good-natured laughter. As expected, the work ethic
young Laslo exhibited spurred him toward the beginning of a
wonderful career.
After getting married, the couple moved to a new military base in Selma, Alabama while Laslo completed flight school. He remembers that it was a different time, recalls memories of racial tensions and the feeling that anything might explode at any minute. He had friends and neighbors who had nearly died due to brutal beatings, but the world was beginning to refuse to continue in silence, and the status quo was constantly being pushed against, causing riots bringing death and danger to health and home.
“It was, in a way, both the best and the worst year, at the same time.” During that year, he learned about his fellow man – the good and the bad, and lost his innocence. “But I always tried my best to live my best. That’s really all I could do.”
With his flight training complete, while serving with the Air Force, Laslo worked on military contracts as an engineer of aircraft parts with Javelin Aircraft Company. Working with seven other men also fresh out of college, Laslo and his coworkers collaborated on a series of projects, including the Caribou, a twin-engine, short take-off and landing aircraft. Eventually the Caribou would become part of the Army fleet, its purpose to deliver supplies to troops in time of war.

During his six and half years in the military, Laslo piloted many flights on many aircraft, including the Boeing B-52F, the Cessna T-37, and the Lockheed T-33. His experience was vast, even before entering the world of commercial aviation. When he was finally released from the Air Force, he was immediately hired by one of the biggest airlines during that time – TWA. He was assigned to the Convair 880, a powerful, fast, four-engine jet, but quickly moved his way through various other aircraft, including several versions of a Boeing.
Laslo reminisces about what he loved most in his career. “Really, the airlines are a pain sometimes, but the people, that’s what I loved about it. It was like a family, and it was simpler back then.” He tells of the “old-timer “ pilots who were set in their ways and refused to budge, and yet it was from them that he learned some of the most valuable lessons in his profession – including how to make the perfect, smooth landing. He recalls being fortunate to work with competent, trustworthy co-pilots – well, for the most part. He bemusedly tells a story of a co-pilot who once punched him while they were working together. “There weren’t many bad eggs, but man, the bad ones were REALLY bad.” He laughs, then grows somber again.
“There were times where I wasn’t sure how we made it through those snow storms or scary takeoffs in really bad weather. We had a larger crew in the cockpit, so there were five of us who had to trust each other, and sometimes blindly.” Laslo is grateful for the time he spent in the aviation industry, though he endured mergers, setbacks, and lawsuits. “But, that’s just it, you know. It’s messy sometimes, but it’s real.” He gets uncharacteristically quiet for a moment or two.
When asked about his family, and if his two sons and daughter have pursued a career like their father’s, the smile is clear in his reply. His son is now a pilot and his granddaughter, just as her grandfather had done, dreams of a life in the sky. Laslo is proud, and frankly, I’m proud for him. With his wry remarks and no-frills storytelling, I can envision the young man from humble beginnings. Slowly, he drew on the strength of his family and his spirit of adventure to become the wizened, laughing grandfather surrounded by the fruits of his labor with memories of the beautiful years in which he built something special — something that came from a heart full of love.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Storied Past
The founders of Embry-Riddle were visionary entrepreneurs with dreams that gave rise to a reality bigger than their imaginations. It started with The Embry-Riddle Company founded 22 years to the day after the Wright brothers historic flight at Kitty Hawk. Their early mission was to promote aviation – as an airmail carrier, in aircraft sales, teaching the daring to fly, providing thrill rides, performing air shows, even transporting passengers on their scheduled mail routes. From a desk in a hotel lobby, the company can be credited with operating the first air travel agency, having organized other mail carriers and selling their passenger space. The Embry-Riddle story runs deep into the roots of aviation’s history.

the company and retired to California, where he lived until his death in 1946.
In 1932, AVCO moved its Embry-Riddle Division to St. Louis where it was merged into a new division called American Airways, leading the original Embry-Riddle Company to cease its independent enterprise for a few years.
Riddle moved to New York, then to Dallas, and on to St. Louis, the new headquarters of American Airways. After less than a year in St. Louis with the fledgling airline, Riddle left the company in 1932 and moved to Florida – a location and climate he thought offered tremendous potential for aviation. He envisioned Miami as the gateway to South America, a new horizon for aviation.
School of Aviation opens in South Florida and soon supports the war efforts
Between his arrival in South Florida in 1932 and 1939, Riddle had opened three aviation companies. A seaplane base on Biscayne Bay was his fourth endeavor, with a new partner, John McKay. They named it Embry-Riddle School of Aviation. Growth came swiftly and another base of operations was established at Miami’s Municipal Airport. The charismatic Riddle was known to anyone who had interests in aviation, including his
T. Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle struck a deal. Embry, an entrepreneur recognized the profitable possibilities of aviation. Riddle was the dashing barnstormer who as child questioned why God had not given him wings. Riddle’s father was a high school principal who taught his son to be a lifelong learner and a teacher. Despite the multifaceted nature of the early company, Riddle always dreamed of building an “Air University.”
In its third year of operations, in1929, Embry-Riddle was one of the first five flying schools in the country to be certified under the Department of Commerce’s newly-minted Air Commerce Act. However, later that year, the Embry-Riddle Company merged with the newly-formed Aviation Corporation (AVCO), an alliance that came with a price. Although Embry-Riddle’s airline and cargo routes remained prosperous, the company no longer sold aircraft, and in 1930 AVCO closed Embry-Riddle’s flying school. A year later, Embry left

friend Howard Hughes who called on him to act as tour guide and escort to his friend, film actress Jane Russell, while Hughes was busy making his deals. These were captivating times in a fashionable city, but the looming opportunity was anything but glamorous.
War drums were becoming deafening across the Atlantic and growing louder in the Pacific. Riddle and McKay readied the school to train pilots and mechanics. Each had long believed that if another war were to break out, airplanes would play a major role. Pearl Harbor proved them right.
Training facilities had already expanded to four sites and cadets poured in from the Army Air Corps and the Royal Air Force. Five hundred cadets could be trained during each nine-week course that included 60 flight hours. The school’s Engine Division used assembly line tactics to train for overhaul. There was also an Instrument Department to instruct students to build and repair all varieties of aviation instrumentation.
The seaplane base continued operations during the war as an all-female division. Across all parts of the operations, adjustments were made as necessary and resources were allocated where needed to maintain a flexible and efficient machine. The contribution of Embry-Riddle, providing pilots, mechanics, and technicians to the allied war effort, was undeniable and without precedent.
Embry-Riddle approved to educate veterans under G.I. Bill
As was true for so many of the companies involved in the military-industrial complex, post-war Embry-Riddle realigned to define its new role. It became one of the first institutions approved to educate veterans under the new Government Issued Bill, commonly known as the G.I. Bill. Before separating from the Navy, after the PT109 tragedy, even John F. Kennedy took a lesson with Embry-Riddle.
University repurchases 1927 ASO-10 WACO
One of Embry-Riddle’s early endeavors was as a dealer for WACO aircraft. The first aircraft they purchased for resale were used for other company interests; barnstorming, teaching flight and delivering mail. One of those units passed through a number of owners before meeting a tragic end in when it crashed into Florida’s Lake Apopka, ending the owner-pilot’s life and those of his two passengers. Clyde Dawson, an aviation enthusiast, salvaged the wreckage, which included the title plate, enabling it to be restored with the help of volunteers aided by detailed plans of the craft he has acquired from the Smithsonian Institution. During the restoration period, he researched its provenance uncovering the fact that it had originally belonged to Embry-Riddle, now the world-famous university also located in Central Florida. Mr. Dawson contacted the university and in 2007, its College of Aviation arranged to purchase the aircraft. The relic is a reminder of the depth of Embry-Riddle’s roots into the history of aviation.

In 1944, John Paul Riddle set his sights on the burgeoning aviation industry in Brazil. A partnership that involved the Brazilian Air Ministry and Embry-Riddle was established in São Paulo. Within three years, under his leadership with 650 North American instructors, he turned it over to the Brazilian government having graduated 3,500 students.
Back in Miami, John McKay was focused on civil aviation. He reorganized and moved flight operations to Opa-Locka Airport. Space remained an issue, as the divisions were located miles apart. During the war in Korea, Embry-Riddle was contracted to train mechanics and technicians for the new U.S. Air Force.
International students bolster Embry-Riddle’s reputation
In 1951, McKay died unexpectedly and his widow assumed the presidency. By now, the school was named Embry-Riddle International School of Aviation and it was living up to the moniker. Its reputation was expanding globally as students from Europe, the Middle East, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and the Far East returned to their countries to extol their Embry-Riddle education and launch their aviation careers.
Under Isabel McKay, the school reorganized as a non-profit entity and was renamed Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute (ERAI). The non-profit status was a pragmatic move enabling the Board to accept philanthropic gifts in addition to the students’ tuition to help sustain programs and support growth.
After 90 years, this beautifully restored 1927 WACO ASO-10 returned to the fleet of Embry-Riddle aircraft as a treasured historic artifact.

Aviation legend Jack Hunt becomes Embry-Riddle President
A major turning point for the institute came in 1963 when a former Navy Commander with a notable aviation record of his own, was named President. Jack Hunt was a legend who had been awarded a trophy in 1958 by President Eisenhower for piloting the longest non-stop, non-refueled trans-Atlantic flight in an airship. Like founder John Paul Riddle, Hunt was handsome, charismatic, and a true visionary. From the beginning of his tenure, he began laying the foundation to boost enrollment, establish a centralized campus, foment ties with industry, and earn academic accreditation – the last goal wasn’t likely given the technical nature of the institute.
Not long after assuming his role, he was informed that the base of flight operations, the Tamiami Airport in Florida, would soon close. He saw this not as a setback but as an opportunity to build a cohesive campus to support all the divisions, something he identified as necessary to gain accreditation.
An exhaustive list of possible locations ended with the Ormond Beach Airport, about 260 miles north of Miami, Florida on the Atlantic coast. There was a hurdle, however. Beyond the airfield, there were no facilities to establish the campus. Neighboring Daytona Beach offered a temporary solution. On the airport property, there were vacant World War II era barracks, classrooms, and offices that had been training facilities for the Army and Navy.
Embry-Riddle earns accreditation, gains University status
That elusive accreditation was awarded in 1968 and university status was granted. In 1970 the name was changed to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – today recognized worldwide as the unrivaled pinnacle in aviation and aerospace education.
The cohesive campus that Jack Hunt envisioned for a thousand students began to take shape in those first few years. The

college community he imagined started to evolve. Athletics returned, dormitories and academic buildings were constructed, and student organizations were founded. Today, the university educated a student population at the Daytona campus of over 6000 students from undergraduate through doctoral degrees.
Prescott and Worldwide campuses established
The story of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in this modern era is about confidence. Earlier than most, founders Embry and Riddle recognized the importance of aviation to the world and thus began a
culture that focuses on the future to identify opportunity and demonstrate the confidence to persevere. Providing education to military personnel on their bases was just such an opportunity. The first remote location was established in 1970 at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Leadership in creative education established what is today the Worldwide Campus – operating in more than 135 centers around the globe, delivering award-winning online education, growing Embry-Riddle Asia in Singapore and India, and launching a new partnership in Brazil.
The residential campus in Prescott, Arizona, opened in 1978 with 268 students in Aeronautical Science. Today, with more than 2,700 students and home to the nation’s only College of Security and Intelligence, it has gained prominence and distinction in its own right. ACN

Remembering one from our nation’s “Greatest Generation”
The Story of Lieutenant Dan Healey
W R I T T E N B Y: M i k e Dav i s
In his bestseller, The Greatest Generation, NBC Anchorman Tom Brokaw wrote about the men and women who grew up in the Great Depression, fought in World War II and made unbelievable sacrifices during their lives. Most of us have known a World War II veteran but sadly their numbers are dwindling. My
family lived across the street from one such veteran. After his military and civilian service was complete, he continued to serve as friend, mentor, neighbor and grandfather to our children. He just observed his 93rd birthday and I would be terribly remiss if I didn’t attempt to tell just a little of Lieutenant Daniel J. Healey’s story.

Lieutenant Healey enlisted in the U. S. Army on August 11, 1942, on his 17th birthday. The Army required Dan to return to his home and obtain signatures from both of his parents stating that they did indeed give permission for a 17-year-old to enter into service of his country. After indoctrination and physicals, Dan was shipped off from his home in New Jersey to Army indoctrination/basic training. At the end of “basic” each of the new soldiers was tested to determine their Army specialty; infantry, gunnery, artillery, cook, radio operator, etc. Private Dan Healey was shipped off to Madison, Wisc. to attend Army radio school. Dan commented, “At the end of radio school, rumors were everywhere, especially the stories that a private graduating from radio school would be promoted to Private First Class.” Like many things in the Army, these rumors turned out to be untrue. By chance, one of the soldiers in Dan’s squadron suggested, “Healey you should take the test as an Aviation Cadet.” Dan had always wanted to be a pilot so he walked into the colonel’s office and asked permission to take the aviation cadet test. Testing was time consuming and very rigorous, but Dan finished with a score high enough to allow him to attend aviation cadet training. Aviation training or “Preflight” was conducted in Santa Ana, Calif. Once
completed, Dan was to be commissioned an Army second lieutenant and sent to follow-up training as a pilot, navigator or bombardier.
Dan immersed himself in Army aviation basic training. Exactly one year later, on his 18th birthday, Dan was officially commissioned Second Lieutenant Dan Healey. Out of the hundreds of graduating cadets, Dan was among 15 graduates who had scored 90% or above on all tests, written exams and oral assessments, and was considered an honor graduate. Dan recalled, “At the end of the ceremony, a senior officer said, ‘Healey march these guys down to the personnel building.’” Dan admitted he’d never led any kind of platoon before, but the 15 honor graduates marched to yet another non-descript Army building where they were informed by an officer that the 15 honor graduates would be allowed to pick their assignments. Being first in line, the major asked the new Second Lieutenant Healey what he’d like to do. Dan had always wanted to be a pilot, but instead answered, “Major, what do you need?” Without looking up the major replied, “I’m critically short of bombardiers.” Dan responded, “Well, you’ve got one here.” Dan was off to bombing school in Roswell, New Mexico.

For five months, Healey attended classroom training and flew in the front of a Beechcraft AT-11 Kansan. (Older civilian pilots know this classic aircraft as a Beech-18.)
Each airplane carried several 100-pound sand bombs with a shotgun shell activated explosive so that each bomb drop could be photographed and scored. Dan recalled that a scorer was located in a small shack outside the target’s concentric circles. (I asked if that is where the term “shack” or direct hit had originated. Dan said, “That must have been after my time. We were warned that there would be hell to pay if someone bombed the shack.”)
After completion of bombardier school, Dan was shipped to a base in Idaho where B-24 crews were being constituted. In 1942, Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho was still being built with its officially opening in August 1943. Dan and his pilot were the original crewmembers of the B-24 that would eventually be christened “Ruff-n-Reddy.”
Dan was shipped to the war zone in January 1944 and was promoted to First Lieutenant. Officially, Lieutenant Healey was with the Army Air Force’s 47th Wing, 450th Bomb Group, 720th Bombardment Squadron based in Manduria, Italy. Almost immediately upon his arrival in Italy, Dan began flying combat missions.

About the Author
On July 15, 1944, Lieutenant Healey was aboard “Ruff-n-Reddy” and the target was the Ploesti oil fields. Prior to this raid, the Army Air Force had bombed Ploesti several times, each time suffering spectacular losses. In one previous raid, 54 of 178 bombers were destroyed and their 10-man crews killed or captured. Ploesti was rumored to be the most heavily fortified target, except possibly Berlin. In addition, the Luftwaffe was far from defeated. Approximately 200 German and Romanian fighters were based around Ploesti and consisted primarily of Me-109 and-110 fighter aircraft. It was into this gauntlet that Dan and crew flew their mission. Dan clearly remembered thinking, “This is my 34th mission. I’ve got to fly 50. There is no way I make it out alive.”
By this point in the war, the bomber group did have fighter escort. On that day’s raid, they were to be covered inbound and outbound by the fighter pilots from Ramitelli Airfield in Italy. History buffs will recognize this base as the home of the famous Tuskegee Airmen.
After dropping their bombs, Dan’s group suffered substantial losses. The number one aircraft, the group leader, took a direct hit and spiraled down with no parachutes to be seen. Dan’s B-24 took a serious hit from massive flak fusillade. The aircraft commander (pilot) was badly wounded, the top turret gunner was injured and Dan took a flak burst through the right shoulder and arm. As serious as the injuries were, more concerning at this point was the condition of “Ruff and Reddy.” The number one engine had been destroyed, and the B-24 fell out of formation and began to lose altitude. Almost immediately, Dan’s aircraft was pounced upon by German fighters. The “Ruff and Reddy” copilot had taken over and was fighting to maintain both altitude and control of the aircraft while attempting to fend off attacking fighters. As quickly as the B-24 was attacked, the attackers became the attacked when two P-51 Mustangs with those distinctive red tails arrived. The Messerschmitts had no desire to tangle with the Mustangs and were quickly driven off. The two pilots from Ramitelli escorted “Ruff-n-Reddy” to a suitable landing base where the copilot landed the big Liberator and the injured were taken to the hospital. Arriving at the hospital Dan remembered
hearing one of his fellow crewmembers say, “Sure hope Healey doesn’t lose that arm.” Thankfully he did not.
After emergency treatment and his recovery had begun, Lieutenant Dan ask where the fighter pilots were based and if he could pay a courtesy call on them for “saving his bacon.” The doctor informed him that he wouldn’t have to go very far as both fighter pilots were in the same hospital. Apparently, on the return to base one of the P-51’s developed problems and was unable to lower his landing gear. The pilot made a near perfect gear-up landing, and after his wingman had landed, they borrowed a jeep to get back to their base. While driving and attempting a corner at high speed, the jeep turned over and both pilots were ejected resulting in broken bones.
The mission to Ploesti was to be Dan’s last. He was deemed medically unfit to fly combat and was sent to the “interior,” meaning back to the United States. Dan returned carrying his orders and his medical evaluations. Upon arrival, he presented his orders to his commanding officer and threw the medical evaluations into the trash. Dan went on to train new bombardiers until the end of the war.
After the war, Dan had a very successful business career and married the love of his life Geri. Dan and Geri had four children, two girls and two boys. Dan is now father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Dan worked with the Boy Scouts as a counselor to boys working on their Eagle. His latest membership is in the Hickory Veteran Air Group, open to all veterans, is based in Hickory, North Carolina, and has an impressive museum and aircraft collection. From across the street, Dan also selflessly served as grandfather for my daughters. Sadly, Geri passed away several years ago.
We can never forget the sacrifice the Greatest Generation made, and I will always be honored to know Lieutenant Dan Healey. ACN
