Wing Commander’s Commentary
December 2012
As we approach the end of the world in a few days…
;) Okay okay…Just kidding..
Thoughts of our members I’m sure are focused on
the holidays, whichever version you choose is fine with me, but the
holidays, and again we are reminded that safety has to be a paramount
conscious thought process.
We had an aircraft damaged while being washed.
Great work by a member but oh boy the consequences.
We had a member and his wife injured in a motorcycle accident.
Surgery and hospital time at this time of year?
I look at what our wing accomplishes on a daily
basis. What we do without
question 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
We stand ready to help those in need.
Unfortunately sometimes those in need are some of ours.
Everyday I see injuries and damage to aircraft and vehicles.
Some of it on the news, a lot of it up close and personal.
The calls I get from safety officers and squadron commanders are
not always fun conversations.
Our most valuable asset is our members.
We take care of each other all the time.
Lets make sure we take the time to take care of ourselves.
As I’ve stated before, we work hard, we play hard, and no one can
do this job better than the members of the Nevada Wing.
Take the time this season to be careful. Evaluate your actions,
plan your events, travel safely, and essentially perform an ORM on
everything you do.
Have a Merry Christmas, a wonderful Hanukkah, a
terrific form of whatever you believe in, but do it safely.
Col Tim “Kojack” Hahn and Family
