GENERAL BERNARD A. SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION LOS ANGELES CHAPTER 147 from the President…
GENERAL BERNARD A. SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION LOS ANGELES CHAPTER 147 From the President…. Dear Members of the AFA General Bernard A. Schriever Los Angeles Chapter: The missions of your Air Force Association are to Educate the public on the importance of Aerospace Power; to Advocate Aerospace Power to the public and to our elected repre- sentatives; and to Support the Air Force and the Air Force family. The Schriever Chapter tends to emphasize the Support mission, through varied forms of philanthropy (AFROTC grants, Enlisted and Company Grade Officer scholarships, donations to the Los Angeles Air Force Spouses’ Club, donations to local high schools competing in AFA’s CyberPatriot initia- tive, and many others), and by annually recognizing the outstanding achievements of the men and women of the Space & Missile Systems Center. This quarter the chapter was very active in both the education and the recognition as- pects of the Support mission, as detailed in several articles below. We honored AFROTC ca- dets at UCLA and Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) graduates at SMC. We pre- sented the Schriever Award to Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley, and a Schriever Fellowship Award to SMC Vice Commander Brig Gen Roger W. Teague, as part of the annual AFA Salute to SMC. In addition, the Chapter Board of Directors elected Marcia Peura to the Board as the new Chapter Secretary, and she is doing a great job. Marcia takes over from Barby Kollenda, who retired from Lockheed Martin and from the Board last year, but volunteered to stay on until we could find a replacement – no small task, as Barby has flawlessly handled a number of disparate tasks for the chapter during her years of service. -

ACTION REQUESTED Adopt and present a Resolution to Clarence Emil "Bud" Anderson for his outstanding service to his country and his community. BACKGROUND Colonel Anderson has over thirty years of military service, and was a test pilot at Wright Field where he also served as Chief of Fighter Operations. He also served at Edwards Air Force Base where he was Chief of Flight Test Operations and Deputy Director of Flight Test. Colonel Anderson served two tours at The Pentagon and commanded three fighter organizations. From June to December 1970, he commanded the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, an F-105 Thunderchief unit, during its final months of service in the Vietnam War, and retired in March 1972. He was decorated twenty-five times for his service to the United States. After his retirement from active duty as a Colonel, he became the manager of the McDonnell Aircraft Company's Flight Test Facility at Edwards AFB, serving there until 1998. During his career, he flew over 100 types of aircraft, and logged over 7,000 hours. Anderson is possibly best known for his close friendship with General Chuck Yeager from World War II, where both served in the 35th Fighter Group, to the present. Yeager once called him "The best fighter pilot I ever saw". -

ACTION: Request for information. SUMMARY: The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) is carrying out an effort requested under the report accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, to, in part, work with communities to find measures that would mitigate noise caused by defense fixed wing aviation activities. Approximately 205 active and reserve installations have been identified with “covered facilities” (hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving senior citizens, and private residences) that appear to be located within one mile or a day-night average sound level of 65 decibel or greater of a military installation or another location at which military fixed wing aircraft are stationed. OLDCC is requesting affected communities adjacent to those 205 active and reserve installations to provide feedback through a web portal on measures to mitigate defense aviation noise for OLDCC to consider in its efforts to develop a community noise mitigation program in collaboration with the Service Secretaries. DATES: Affected jurisdictions should provide feedback by [INSERT DATE 45 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods: A web portal (https://forms.office.com/g/3pp0UCdArk) has been specifically designed to receive this feedback from these jurisdictions over a 45-day period following publication of this notice.
