“Let all things be done decently and in order”. – I Corinthians, 14 – 40 KJV
“Our Lives, Our Work, Our Safety” is a reminder to all KY CAP personnel and cadets of their responsibility to work safely every day. CAP members should provide guidance, support, resources, training, and information to enable them to carry out their responsibilities in a way that prevents injuries and unsafe conditions. In addition, whether in the air or on the ground, we have a responsibility to be familiar with and comply with safety and health policies, regulations, and standards to ensure that our fellow CAP members and civilians are safe. Any unsafe condition or behavior should be reported to your safety officers.

To all Pilots who fly in the Kentucky Wing:
In the interest of promoting safety, I think the attached note written by Michigan's State Director is excellent food for thought for anyone in the KY Wing. It is directly applicable to daily operations and is a sobering reminder of how important vigilance and following established procedures can be in "breaking the chain" that leads to trouble. I encourage the Wing to share this far and wide during this very busy time of the year.
Regards,
Bob Koob, Colonel, CAP
Commander Kentucky Wing
What Is the Worst That Can Happen?
I generally consider myself a “glass half full” type of person. Usually I’m pretty optimistic and can frequently find the bright side of a situation. I was fortunate enough to spend most of my 21 years in the Air Force flying jets and the majority of those years were spent teaching students. However, I have never been overly comfortable in any aircraft that I’ve flown. But I thoroughly enjoy flying and would much rather be in an airplane than in the office.
Still, on any given day, the probability of hurting myself in a Cessna is a lot higher than getting a ding in the office. Besides, most of my “office injuries” fall in the paper cut variety. They’re irritating but not very long lasting.
Not so with airplanes. Read on at June Safety Briefing in Red Bar at top of page.
