Major George Lasley, KY214
Safety Officer Passes Away 18-Jan-11

Major George Lasley, a member of the Bowman Field Senior Squadron passed away
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. George was the squadron's safety officer who provided
our safety briefings each month. George had been a member of the squadron for a
little over two years. He had planned on becoming a mission pilot but he lost
his FAA medical and could no longer pilot aircraft. Despite this, he was a vital
member of the squadron staff and one prince of a guy! Several squadron members
attended his memorial service held at Southeast Christian Church. I visited
George at the hospital on January 14th and we talked for quite awhile about his
time in the U.S. Air Force and he seemed in very good spirits and really seemed
like he was at peace with the world. We will miss him......

Loses Don Perkins who passed away 19-Nov-10

1LT Don Perkins, a member of the Bowman Field Senior Squadron
passed away Friday evening, November 19, 2010. Don who was 82 years old lost his
three-year battle with cancer. Don was well known and well liked by all. He
really enjoyed his time with the Civil Air Patrol which unfortunately was cut
short due to his illness. Don was a consummate gentleman and professional. His
last job with the squadron was as our aerospace education officer. Don really
pushed the squadron to delve more deeply into this aspect of our CAP mission. He
will be missed by all! Happy landings Don. Now you have permanent wings!
KY214 Squadron Members get up
close and personal with the Strike Eagle

KY214 members where invited to come out to the Kentucky Air
National Guard base at Louisville's Standiford Field to see and find out about
the United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle. Members met on Thursday, April
15th from 3:30-5:30 at the operations building and then proceeded to the ramp to
view not only the F-15E but also some other fighter aircraft that were sitting
on the ramp. Other CAP squadrons were present along with Boy Scouts and AFROTC
cadets from the University of Louisville. The weather was perfect and a good
time was had by all that could attend. If you were not able to get off work to
go the the airport, click on the Strike Eagle's vertical stabilizer to see what
you missed!
