October 28th Safety Meeting was an Astounding Success!
November 4, 2008
October 28th Safety meeting co hosted by PAPA was an astounding success. Attended by well over 100 pilots and their friends to listen to retired PanAM Captain Paul Johnson talk about flying commercial sea planes from San Francisco to Hawaii. The audience members were spell bound while listening to the prevailing navigational practices and the rigorous standards the pilots had to meet to fly those planes. They had to be rated radio operators and A/P mechanics in addition to being a pilot. A short segment movie displayed the opulence of flying during those days.
It was interesting to listen to the evolution of Capt. Johnson’s illustrious career and was a great presentation and evening. Capt. Johnson was serenaded to “Happy Birthday” and a cake. I can not affirm that all of us were in tune. The cake and coffee were superb. I would like to thank Bill Knauz not only for his generosity in hosting this meeting and his enthusiasm excels all else.
