Capt Bob Wantuck was in the area on a training sortie and was contacted by Royalton UNICOM to see if he could assist. Capt Wantuck, although flying solo, performed a search of the area, located the downed aircraft and helped direct rescuers to the aircraft. This was an outstanding find by Capt Wantuck.

Constant Watch 14 communications exercise - 21-22 JUN:HF radio stations at Jamestown and NFAFB operational both days. VHF mobile station active at Akron airport Sat, 21 JUN. 5 WNY members participated. NYW was very happy to have us join in.

SAREX On The Border - 12-13 JUL:WNY Group was assigned a search area from the Peace Bridge along the Lake Erie shore to the NY/PA border, one of the longest segments in NYW. Last sortie was switched to cover Lake Ontario from the Niagara River to Braddock Bay near Rochester. Special thanks to Capt Bob Wantuck who flew all three sorties,and Lt Col Jerry Terhaar who flew as the evaluator on all three sorties. Alsothanks to Capt Tom Joneson who acted as a mobile radio relay between Dunkirk and Ripley NY in his POV. One trainee was on every sortie.

88Transportation Van Policy- For the last three years, Lt Cols Maternowski and Terhaar have paid a substantial amount of money due to the reluctance of other units to contribute to the operation of the van. This is not fair. - It is incumbent on all the units in the group to make efficient use of this asset. Your sqdn/flight has the ability to request use of the van for a specific stated purpose - all that is required is that you inform Lt Col Terhaar and make arrangements to pick up the van when you require it. - Your responsibility is to carry the cost of fueling the van during the period in which you wish to use it. - Our Mission Readiness rating depends on our ability, and willingness to make efficient use of the assets provided to us by NY Wing, and the Air Force, and act IAW the new NYWg Policy of the use of the van emailed two weeks ago.

In the future I need:1. All units must use this asset when needed, especially when placed on a mission.2. Refuel the van when required whenever you use the vehicle. 3. Shared responsibility.If we arent stewards of the Air Forces assets, the van might be removed from the Group which will make us non-mission ready/capable and no longer a viable ES asset.
