Naval Education and TrainingCommand (NETC) announcedDec. 28 that the commander ofNETC visited the Center forNaval Aviation TechnicalTraining Unit (CNATTU)

Keesler Air Force Base to seefirsthand how the learning sitehas successfully implemented aVirtual Desktop Initiative (VDI).

VDI is a five-year plan todeploy the VDI to more than36,000 daily users and willreplace 80 percent of the morethan 23,000 desktop computers

in more than 2,500 classrooms at68 learning sites around theworld.

Rear Adm. Don Quinn,NETC commander, was briefedby Cmdr. Jonathan Vorrath,CNATTU Keesler’s command-ing officer, about the learning siteimplementation of VDI and howthey use it to train students.Desktop virtualization providesmultiple student and instructorworkstations from a centralizedserver environment, which elim-inates physical workstationsresiding in an electronic class-room.

“CNATTU Keesler is the firstlearning site to implement thevirtual desktop initiative, whichwill expand throughout theNETC domain,” said Quinn.“We have thousands of comput-ers. To keep pace with currenttechnology, security risks andsoftware, each computer current-ly has to be updated. When youvirtualize a classroom you shift

from multiple updates to anupdate of a single server. In thiscase, we went from 152 comput-ers to three servers. Now whenwe update, we only have to do itthree times instead of 152. It’s ahuge time and money saver.”

Besides being a money saving

venture, Quinn says he is alsopleased by how VDI saves elec-trical power and time, and bene-fits the students.

“There’s also a power issue –instead of running 152 desktops

Capt. Greg McWherter was chosenas this year’s honoree for his achieve-ments and contributions during the2012 air show season. McWherter,who led the team for a total of fouryears, was recognized for his efforts tointegrate the team more fully into thelarger air show community, as well as

the personal and professional sacrificeshe made when he volunteered to servea second two-year stint as the BlueAngels’ boss.

“The work Greg did, the progress hehelped the team make and the sacri-fices he and his family have enduredduring the last four years are nothingshort of extraordinary,” said JohnCudahy, president of ICAS.

“These last four years have been aremarkable gift to the air show com-munity. The team is fundamentally dif-ferent than it was in December of 2008when Greg attended his first ICASconvention.”

The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: theCentennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA.

The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air StationNews, the name Gosport was adopted in1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flightinstructors in the early days of naval aviation togive instructions and directions to their stu-dents. The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

VDI from page 1

we now have only 152monitors and three servers.So we save on electricity,manpower, and time,”Quinn said. “In terms ofmission effectiveness, themost important thing isspeed. It’s so much betterfor the students. It’s reli-able, it's faster, and instruc-tors now spend less timefighting technology andmore time teaching. It isclear that once we incorpo-rate this change in morethan 2,500 electronic class-rooms containing more than23,000 computers that thisis a huge deal for NETCand the Navy.”

Spearheaded by NETC’sInformation TechnologyServices Department (N6),the initiative stemmed froma mission imperative requir-ing cost effective delivery oftraining content.

During the planningprocess, the integrated proj-

ect team determined VDIshould be phased inthroughout the domainbecause of diverse trainingenvironments and multiplestakeholders with varyingrequirements.

Because several trainingapplications are learningsite specific, the team need-ed to consider each site anddecided which worksta-tions, programs and appli-cations could be deliveredas a service to the student.The virtual system requiresno desktop operating sys-tem or disk drives, and novirus or spyware monitor-ing requirement. It wouldalso need to have fullUniversal Serial Bus (USB)capability to support thumbdrives, and dual monitorcapability but no refreshrequirements due to soft-ware updates or new appli-cations, and no media,graphics or memory restric-tions.

Desktop virtualization

separates the different com-puting layers and executesall of them on a secure serv-er, which allows end usersto access all of the data andapplications without beingtied down to a specific hard-ware device.

According to Cmdr.Sean O’Brien, NETC’sdeputy chief informationofficer, it reduces desk-sidesupport costs by up to 40percent through centralizeddesktop and applicationdeployment and manage-ment, and improved desk-top reliability.

“Productivity and flexi-bility is boosted by provid-ing users with anywhereand soon ‘any-deviceaccess’ to their work,”O’Brien said. “Security ofthe user’s data is also bol-stered, and it simplifies dis-aster recovery by separatingprocessing and storage fromdesktop hardware and low-ers operational expenses byextending the life of periph-

eral desktop hardware.”“The benefits of virtual-

ization are that it’s engi-neered to meet currentrequirement, it’s expand-able for future demand andprovides a standardizedsolution for student applica-tion loads,” he said.

O’Brien says the suc-cessful implementation ofVDI is the result of out-standing cooperation andteamwork.

“The success of this proj-ect is the result of close col-laboration of the dedicatedVDI integrated project teamand CNATT’s commitmentand willingness to workclosely with the team toensure that all trainingdelivery requirements wereincorporated into the solu-tion design.”

Using the lessonslearned from the initial rollout at the Keesler trainingunit, NETC can templatethe process across thedomain.

Gear from page 1

The gears are seldom called intoservice. There were only five trapslast year, Pitts said. But the equip-ment must be ready at all times. Thearresting gear is an essential elementto NASP; without a functioningemergency system aircraft cannotfly.

The E-28 Arresting Gear Divisionis part of the Air OperationsDepartment at Forrest ShermanField. The crew consists of 30 avia-tion boatswain’s mates – equipmentand handling experts – who man theairfield seven days a week. TheSailors work to ensure that the sixsets of arresting gears are ready at alltimes.

Daily operations follow a strictroutine, Pitts said.

The day starts bright and early at5:30 a.m. with daily maintenancechecks, followed by corrosion con-trol on all 12 arresting gear engines.If there are any discrepancies on anyof the engines, they are documentedand corrected immediately.

Throughout the day, training is con-ducted on various aspects of the gearto include tool control, “3M mainte-nance,” arresting gear hazards, crashand rescue, hazardous material(HAZMAT), foreign object damage(FOD) and quality assurance (QA).

On top of the regular routine,crewmembers take on some specialmissions.

Currently, the Arresting GearDivision is rigorously preparing forits annual certification, which is a fullreview of overall operations. Thecertification is comprised of aninspection and tests including a dynopull test and a stall test in which theresults must exceed 4,000 pounds.

Pitts and his crewmembers aregoing through a detailed checklist tomake sure everything is ready.

“We rehab all of our engines andmake sure everything is running likeit should,” Pitts said.

For the past three years, the NASPArresting Gear Division has receivedoutstanding scores on certificationinspections and Pitts, who joined thedivision last year, hopes to keep upthat record.

The Arresting Gear Division alsooperates as the backbone of the setupand breakdown of the annual BlueAngels Homecoming Air Show atthe air operations field. Throughoutthe year, Arresting Gear personnelstay on top of maintenance obliga-tions in preparation for this signatureevent.

“Is it time?” I thought tomyself as I sipped my coffeeand stared at our lifelessChristmas tree.

I could flip the switch toelectrify the tiny lights, top offthe stagnant water in the stand,and blur my eyes to the curlingbranches and falling needlesfor one more week. Or, I couldtake the whole damned thingdown.

Positioning myself closer tothe tree, I considered myoptions. I cocked my headsideways and sighed, remem-bering the lovely pine smell onthat first night just afterThanksgiving break. This treehad been with us for a monthof celebrating, shopping, eat-ing, baking and gift giving.Shouldn’t I keep her for onemore week?

In my sentimental haze, Ireached out to touch the lovelyblown glass sailboat ornamentmy husband had given meyears ago, and as my handbrushed against the branch, Iset off a veritable avalanche ofdead pine needles.

“That’s it,” I thought, “she’sgotta go.”

One by one, I removed andwrapped our tree decorations,packing them away in the stor-age closet under the stairs. Theornaments, the beaded garland,the lights, the skirt and theangel. Using a turkey baster, Isucked the scummy water out

of the tree stand, and detachedthe naked tree, lugging thedead carcass across our familyroom, out the back door andacross the yard, finally heavingher into the gutter in front of

our mailbox.Fueled by a colossal sense

of relief, I marched back intothe house, going room by roomto purge all evidence ofChristmas.

I shook the candy wrappersout of the stockings, packedaway the Nativity scene,derailed the train, bubble-wrapped the ceramicChristmas trees, stored theSanta mugs and silenced thejingle bells.

I filled garbage bags withdying poinsettias, stale cook-ies, burnt candles, wrinkledwrapping paper, used doilies,broken candy canes, half acheese ball, a whole fruitcake,a carton of egg nog and astripped turkey carcass.

Invigorated, I stormed outonto the porch and unwoundthe garland from the columns,plucked the light-up candycanes from the walkway,tugged until the twinkle lightsgave way from the gutters andtore the wreath from the door,hurling it like a Frisbee into thegutter with the discarded tree.

Then, I set my eyes on theenormous blow-up snowglobe, faithfully regurgitatingthe tiny Styrofoam balls in acontinuous flurry over theinflatable snowman and his

penguin sidekick. Yanking the outdoor exten-

sion cord from the outlet, Iheard an electronic sizzle, thenturned with sadistic satisfac-tion to watch the orb slowlysuffocate and die on my lawn.

I was infuriated to see thatthe blow up monstrosity failedto give up its last puff ofbreath, leaving one stubbornbubble trapped in its folds ofVisqueen and nylon. Withhomicidal vengeance, I bound-ed across the yard and onto thebubble, stomping the last signof verve from the wretchedornament.

I exhausted the remainder ofmy cathartic frenzy by firingup the Shop Vac. With crazedeyes, I sucked up thousands ofpine needles, glitter, crumbs,cookie sprinkles, red and greenM&Ms, snips of ribbon, scrapsof tissue paper and one or twogumdrops fringed with doghair.

I dumped the Shop Vac can-ister in the trash, and alongwith several boxes and bags,and wheeled the whole she-bang out to the curb next to thetree cadaver. Then, I grabbedthe mail from the mailboxbefore heading inside.

I sat at the kitchen table inmy freshly expunged house,

pleased to have wiped my slateclean and ready for a fresh startto the New Year.

But then, I opened the cred-it card bill. As I leafed througha month of reckless spendingmemorialized on paper, I tooka slurp from my coffee cup anda drop dribbled from the rim,plopping onto my gut.

Moving the bill to one side, Istared down at the surprisinglylarge blob of flesh, dented in themiddle where a cavernous bellybutton lay just under my shirt.A month of overeating hadturned my middle-aged momtummy into an embarrassingflop of overhanging flab.

I realized that the real battleto purge myself of the holidayexcesses had only just begun.

NAMI reaches critical milestone in TBI research projectNavy Medicine OperationalTraining Center Public Affairs

A team of researchers fromNavy medicine, the Veteran’sAdministration and a universityworking with the NavalAerospace Medical Institute(NAMI) Hyperbaric MedicineDepartment in Pensacolaannounced recently that theyreached a critical milestone in athree-year research effort thatcould significantly impact thefuture treatment of persistentpost-concussive syndrome(PPCS), which impacts someinjured combat personnel inAfghanistan.

The research project“Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapyfor Post-Concussive Symptomsafter mild Traumatic BrainInjury: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Sham-ControlledVariable Dose Prospective Trial”is a collaborative partnershipwith Dr. David Cifu and otherresearchers from the VirginiaCommonwealth University andMcGuire VeteransAdministration Medical Centerin Richmond, Va., designed tohelp determine whether hyper-baric oxygen (HBO2) might bean effective treatment forpatients suffering from PPCSafter mild traumatic brain injury(TBI).

The researchers have com-pleted a series of 705 chambercompressions, logging morethan 146 man-days of “bottomtime,” Dec.13.

Capt. Brett Hart, the Navy’s

principal investigator on theproject, said the study couldyield positive results for a condi-tion that has garnered wide-spread attention since the onsetof Operation Iraqi Freedom(OIF) and Operation EnduringFreedom (OEF). According toHart, the full impact ofOIF/OEF-related mild TBI onservice members is unknown,but conservative estimates placethe number of individuals suffer-ing from PPCS at more than100,000.

“As of now, there is nodefined treatment for PPCS,” hesaid, though some scientists haveproposed HBO2 as a potentialtreatment for PPCS based on thetheory that marginally function-ing brain cells in and arounddamaged areas of the brain maybe revived by improving oxygenavailability, stimulating cellularrepair and, ultimately, restoringneurological function.

“Our feasibility trial helps testwhether or not volunteers withmild TBI can safely tolerateHBO2 exposure, will experiencesubjective reductions in theirPPCS symptoms, and/or demon-strate objective improvements intheir physiologic and neuropsy-chological performance,” Hartsaid.

Setting what Hart believes arenew standards for quality objec-tive conduct of clinical hyperbar-ic research, the study includes 62active-duty U.S. Marine volun-teers who were randomlyassigned to breathe one of threedifferent oxygen concentrations

(10.5 percent, 75 percent or 100percent) at an absolute atmos-pheric pressure two times greaterthan that experienced at sealevel. Because the study-breath-ing gasses were labeled only asgas “A,” “B” or “C” and allstudy volunteers were exposedto the same pressure in thehyperbaric chamber, both volun-teers and researchers remainedblinded to the volunteer’s specif-ic exposure condition throughout

the HBO2 exposure phase of thestudy. Further, despite applying abattery of more than 25 symp-tom characterizing, neuropsy-chological and neurophysiologictests, the researchers responsiblefor conducting baseline and post-HBO2 exposure testing ofMarine volunteers were alsoeffectively blinded to the studygas assignments throughout thetesting.

“Such scientific rigor is criti-cal to ensuring the veracity of theresults we obtain,” Hart said.“Unlike previous unblinded,uncontrolled trials evaluatingHBO2 exposure’s effects onPPCS, the results of our studyare much less likely to beskewed by such confounders asresearcher bias, Hawthorne andplacebo effects.”

Complete results of theresearch project are not expecteduntil after March 2013, when thelast group of Marine volunteerscompletes a three-month followup testing, the study’s blindingcode is broken and the accumu-lated study results are analyzed.

Hart said that, regardless ofoutcome, the study provides sig-nificant value to Navy medicineand the Department of Defense,noting that hyperbaric teameffort and resources providedduring the course of the projectare minimal compared to thoserequired if HBO2 were to beaccepted as a treatment forPPCS. “Objectively determiningwhether or not HBO2 therapy isan effective means of treating

PPCS is critical,” Hart said.“This is the primary goal of ourstudy,” as he believes is the casewith the companion TBI trialsrecently completed by the USAir Force and soon to be com-pleted by the U.S. Army. “IfHBO2 therapy proves to beeffective, then the DoD will havegained a viable treatment optionfor an injury that currently hasfew to no therapeutic alterna-tives. If, on the other hand,HBO2 therapy is found to beineffective, then the DoD willhave gained the insight needed tohelp refocus its efforts on inden-tifying other, more effectivetreatments.”

NAMI reports to the NavyMedicine Operational TrainingCenter (NMOTC), the recog-nized global leader in opera-tional medical and aviation sur-vival training, which in turnreports to Navy MedicineEducation and TrainingCommand (NMETC), whichmaintains oversight of NavyMedicine education and train-ing.

NAMI, NMOTC andNMETC are all part of the Navymedicine team, a global healthcare network of Navy medicalprofessionals around the worldwho provide high-quality healthcare to more than 1 million eligi-ble beneficiaries.

Simple tips for getting fit in the new year

Gosling Games

By Laura Garrett

(NAPS) – For many, controllingtheir weight starts with getting controlof impulse eating. Often, in order tochange behaviors, people must firstacknowledge the patterns of behaviorthat lead them to eat impulsively.

It starts with a listOne of the biggest culprits is going

to the grocery store without a list.Supermarkets set up their aisles forimpulse buying and quick hungerfixes. Breaking the behavior chain thatleads to bad decisions often starts withchanging routines. For example:

• Eat a piece of fruit before shop-ping.

• Create a shopping list template –keep copies in the car and add addi-

tional items as needed.• Stick to the shopping list.• Use coupons only for items on the

list.Learn how to lunchWorkday lunches can be another

opportunity for impulse eating to takehold. If you’re one of those workerswho waits until 11:30 a.m. (afterhunger has already set in) to decidewhere to go out for lunch or what toorder in, you may find yourself oftenresorting to high-fat, high-calorieoptions like fast food. Here are somesuggestions to make better choices:

• Have fruit at 10 a.m. • Pack a brown-bag lunch the night

before. This will also save money.• Pack or purchase lunches on sliced

bread. Rolls can have twice the calo-

ries of sliced bread.• Salads are great, but measure the

salad dressing or use vinegar.Make mealtime meaningfulSometimes, simple things can make

a difference at mealtime. For instance:• Choose carbohydrates that are low

on the glycemic scale, such as fruits,veggies and whole grains.

• Count to 10 before grabbing some-thing to eat.

• Make the slogan “The kitchencloses at 9 p.m.” a mind-set.

Today is a good day to beginMaking positive behavior changes

to avoid impulse eating is an essentialfactor in health and weight manage-ment. Start today by becoming awareof those behaviors that lead you astrayfrom your weight management goals.

From Navy Medicine Educationand Training Command PublicAffairs

Service members attached toNavy medicine’s recognizedglobal leader in operationalmedical and aviation survivaltraining attended a seminarrecently designed to showcasebasic nutrition and maintainingan eating plan during the holi-day season which is applicablethe whole year.

Navy Medicine OperationalTraining Center (NMOTC)personnel; including those fromNMOTC component com-mands Naval AerospaceMedical Institute (NAMI),Naval Survival TrainingInstitute (NSTI) and theAviation Survival TrainingCenter (ASTC) Pensacola,attended the course, taught byNaval Air Station (NAS)Pensacola Morale, Welfare andRecreation (MWR) Portside

Fitness Center FitnessSpecialist Nicole Gilchrest.

She hosted an open forum,soliciting questions from themore than 50 service membersattending, focusing on basicnutrition, finding a metabolicrate, forming an individual eat-ing plan, and shopping for gro-ceries, as well as creating ahealthy diet centered aroundmoderation.

“Nutrition is important allyear round but it seems wethrow caution to the wind whenit comes to the holidays,” shesaid. “We eat for social reasonsnot because our body needs it,and this is the time of year wecan get into real trouble withweight gain.”

During the class, Gilchrestexplained strategies designed toassist personnel in remaininglean, but still enjoying holidayfoods.

“I believe with a nutritional-ly sound eating plan you can fit

all types of foods into yourdiet,” she said. “You must fol-low the 80/20 rule – stick to aplan 80 percent of the timefocusing on lean meats and lots

of vegetables, fruits and wholegrains and good fats while eat-ing those ‘forbidden’ foodsonly 20 percent of the time.”

Gilchrest, who also serves asan MWR Fitness NavyOperational Fitness andFueling Series (NOFFS)instructor, said there are a vari-ety of methods service mem-bers can employ to control theircaloric intake.

“I hope I provided a commonsense approach to nutrition andthe template on how to make anindividual successful withnutrition and fitness goals,” shesaid. “I want to make peopleself-sufficient and confidentabout nutritional choices sothey are not dependent on thenext new dieting fad to hit theinternet or any other source ofmedia. We eat right and trainbecause we love our bodies notbecause we hate it.”

Gilchrest also highlighted

NOFFS during the class, citingthe two-hour course as amethod of teaching active dutypersonnel how to train andfocus on proper body mechan-ics.

“This program helps toreduce the risk injury of ouractive-duty men and womenwhile teaching them how tobecome efficient at their jobwhile in the line of duty,” shesaid. “This program also offersa nutrition template with a list-ing of foods to go along withthe template. The eating systemis to fuel our military athletesfor optimal performance.”

Gilchrest said PensacolaMWR Fitness offers severalcourses to beneficiaries of thefacilities, including a two-daycourse entitled MissionNutrition, an in-depth offeringexpanding on the nutritionalinformation presented at theNMOTC seminar.

Plan for getting and staying healthy in 2013(NAPS) – The new year is a perfect time to

focus on family and friends, not food. It’s also animportant time to move more and eat better.

To help, the Weight-controlInformation Network (WIN), anational information service of theNational Institute of Diabetes andDigestive and Kidney Diseases, partof the National Institutes of Health,offers the following tips so you canstay fit in 2013:

Time management • Plan and prepare meals and

snacks. Shop ahead of time for ingredi-ents. Reach for quick snacks that are healthy,such as whole-grain crackers and peanut butter orveggies with low-fat dip.

• Go for a walk after a meal. Run some holidayerrands or take a quick stroll where you work or

live. This may help get some items checked offyour “to do” list and clear your mind.

• Set goals for healthy eating and physicalactivity. Motivate yourself with fun activi-

ties that you can do with others, like flagfootball.

Physical activity • Be active every day and make time

for physical activity. Work activityinto your day, whether by parkingfarther away from stores to do yourholiday shopping or walking

around the mall or outdoor shops onefull time before you buy anything.

Balance, balance, balance • Share healthful recipes with family members

and friends. Often, alternatives that are lower infat, sugar, salt or cholesterol can be substituted foringredients in even the most traditional recipes.

ATC Scott Ouellette, an instructor at Naval AirTechnical Training Center (NATTC), was com-missioned a chief warrant officer (CWO) recent-ly during a ceremony at the National NavalAviation Museum onboard Naval Air StationPensacola.

With his family, friends and fellow staff mem-bers in attendance, Ouellette passed his chief’sanchors down to the next generation of chiefs.Afterward, with the help of his family he put onhis new officer’s uniform. His mother and moth-er-in-law placed his warrant officer shoulderboards on his shirt and his father helped him intohis new dress blue jacket. Ouellette’s 3-year-olddaughter, Olivia, with a little help from his wifeHolly, placed his combination cover on his head.

“The support of my family, and the values myparents instilled in me growing up, brought methe success I have had to this point in my career,”said Ouellette. “It’s important that the best Sailorsin the fleet come back as instructors to trainingcenter’s such as NATTC, as I did, to pass theirexperience down to the next generation ofSailors.

“As a warrant officer I intend to continue tolead and train Sailors to do their best work for ourNavy, and to be ready to someday relieve me asa chief petty officer or as a chief warrant officer,”he said.

NATTC’s Commanding Officer Capt. JamesDaniels presided over the ceremony and formerNATTC staff member retired CWO5 MarvWimpee was the guest speaker and administeredthe oath of office to Ouellette.

“Chief Warrant Officer Ouellette is the thirdmustang to be commissioned at NATTC in2012,” said Daniels. “For almost 70 years NavalAir Technical Training Center, since it’s commis-sioning in 1943, has had outstanding instructorssuch as Ouellette training technical experts insupport of the Naval Aviation Enterprise.”

NATTC graduates approximately 15,000

Navy and Marine students each year. The largestpart of the student body is comprised of enlistedpersonnel attending “A” schools designed to pro-vide them with the knowledge and skill levelsrequired to perform as technicians at the appren-tice level.

Advanced schools provide higher level techni-cal knowledge for senior petty officers and spe-cialty schools offer specific skills not particular toany one rating, such as airman apprentice train-ing, maintenance, personal financial manage-ment and shipboard aircraft firefighting. NATTCalso conducts technical training for officers inaviation fuels, carrier air traffic control centeroperations, aircraft launch and recovery equip-ment, shipboard aircraft fire fighting andamphibious air traffic control center operations.

A new IMAX movie is sched-uled to debut today, Jan. 4, at theIMAX Naval Aviation MemorialTheatre at the National NavalAviation Museum.

“Rocky Mountain Express”takes audiences on a steam trainjourney through the CanadianRockies and highlights the chal-lenges that engineers faced whenthey were building the CanadianPacific Railway (CPR), thetranscontinental railway that wascompleted in 1885.

Retracing the railway’s originalroute, the film weaves togetheraerial cinematography, ruggedlandscape vistas and archivalimages and maps to tell the story

of the epic engineering feat. Spanning thousands of miles

and several natural barriers, thegrand project and its wanderingribbon of steel shaped a new

nation.The film, which was released in

September 2011, was directed byCanadian filmmaker StephenLow. It features the CanadianPacific Railway’s restored 4-6-4H1b Hudson steam locomotive2816. Low also directed“Rescue,” another IMAX film thathas been featured at the museum.

The museum’s IMAX theater isone of the largest IMAX theatersin the world and has the largestscreen in Florida. The screen is 10times larger than a traditional cin-ema screen. The projector passes70mm film at 24 frames per sec-ond over a three-foot diameterrotor turning at 180 mph, project-ing an image on the screen magni-fied 273 times the size of the filmframe.

New IMAX film on track at museumThe IMAX film “Rocky Mountain Express” features scenes such as this view of a steam-powered locomotive pass-ing through a section of the Canadian Rockies.

“Rocky MountainExpress”

Now showing: 10 a.m., noon,2 p.m. and 4 p.m. daily. It is 40minutes long. Rated G, suit-able for all.Where: IMAX Naval AviationMemorial Theatre.On the web: Museum infor-mation, www.navalaviationmuseum.org; information on film, www.rock-ymountainexpressfilm.com.Details: 452-3604 or 453-2025.
