♦ — SANDY (O » *.) POST Thur».. No» 2) 1985 (Sec. I ) Sandy’s Schenk flying high in Navy as plane captain at weapons school daily and pre-flight inspections, o il ing and fueling, and signaling for launches and landings. by BARRY NELSON Navy Public Affairs SAN DIEGO — Advancements in design and technology have taken Navy fighter aircraft from the single engine biplane to the supersonic space-age jets we have today Navy fighter pilots have had to change with their aircraft. Making sure today's fighter pilots are trained to their fullest is the job of the Navy Fighter Weapons School at M iram ar Naval A ir Station, north of here And keeping the school’s jets in top condition is the job of sailors like Linda Schenk The 22-year-old daughter of Nancy Ann Conner of Vancouver is a plane captain in the squadron's line d ivi sion “ I h e lp h a n d le g e n e ra l maintenance for the squadron's F-5 a irc ra ft,” explains Schenk "Some of the duties I perform are “ Just about everything involved with what I do here is a learning ex perience. and that’s a challenge for me. On the days that pilots are doing a lot of flying the plane, captains are really kept busy. I learn a lot on those days because of the hectic pace and the amount of work it takes to launch one of those jets,” says Schenk TO P G U N , as the school is nicknam ed, tra in s experienced fighter and adversary aircrews at the advanced level in both a ir combat maneuvering (dogfighting I and fleet a ir defense. Other areas of training include aspects of fighter weapons systems, tactics, technique, pro cedures and doctrine. The course includes approximately 75 classroom hours on topics ranging from aircraft performance to Soviet pilot training and tactics. Airborne training consists of 35 flights during which students fly against F-5 and A-4 adversary a ircraft flown by TOPGUN instructors The F-5 and A-4 jets were chosen because their size and performance closely resem ble current Soviet fighters. TOPGUN often takes its school on the road in small groups called detachments tdets) as part of a class or to present a shorter version of the course These dets usually last from five days to two weeks, and visit air stations throughout the country “ The part of working in TOPGUN that I enjoy most is going out on dets For one thing I get to travel a lot. I also get to meet new people The travel allows me an opportunity to get away from things here and see something new,” says Schenk A 1981 graduate of Sandy High School. Schenk entered the Navy in M a rch 1984 She re p o rte d to TOPGUN a fte r com pieting boot camp at the Naval Training Center. Orlando. Fla “ I joint'd to take advantage of the Navy's educational benefits and pro grams. 1 decided on the Navy because 1 thought it was the best Aviation sounded fun also. I hadn’t done anything like it before, so it was new to m e," she says. LA U N D ER A LADDIE A LOAD 15« " I ’ve become a much more respon sible person since joining the Navy. My job calls for a great deal of respo sibility — as a plane captain I have to make sure that the aircraft I ’m working on is in working order and ready to fly. “ Being part of TOPGUN is a good feeling and the work I ’m doing is a part of that feeling. 1 know that what we do here influences what happens in fighter squadrons throughout the fleet," says Schenk Deadlines for Post day early potne to Chun* Because of the Thanksgiving holi day, next week’s Sandy Post w ill go to press a day early The news deadline has been moved up to Mon day at noon.
