ROYAL AIR FORCE FYLINGDALES, U.K. — Sleek red jets roared in from the west, passing low over the cheering crowd. On cue, colorful smoke streamed from the back of each Hawk aircraft, leaving a dazzling fan of red, grey and blue clouds billowing in the air. The Aerobatic Team, commonly known as the Red Arrows, capped an exciting two days of events at RAF Fylingdales, marking the 50th anniversary of operations at the site. General officers from both sides of the Atlantic and other distinguished guests descended on this remote, moorland location to mark the occasion.

Peterson lieutenant makes strides in Air Force Marathon By Michael Golembesky 21st Space Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Dehydration, fatigue and pain are just a few of the obstacles that marathon runners have to endure just to reach the finish-line — let alone cross it — with a time that garners a medal. But that is just what 2nd Lt. Sarah Auer did. Running in only her second marathon, Auer clinched first place in her category at this year’s Air Force Marathon held at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Sept. 21. “I really didn’t start feeling the pain until the last mile or two,” said Auer, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron operations facility engineer. “Two miles is nothing when you are run- ning 26, just push through and try to pick-up the pace.” Auer captured first place in the full marathon for active- duty females after completing 26.2 miles with a time of 3:04:53. This was just a mere nine seconds off of the overall female finisher, Michelle Farr who finished with a time of 3:04:44. “They merged the half-marathon and full-marathon in the chute (final mile to finish line), it was a large crowd of people and I couldn’t tell who was running which marathon,” said Auer when asked about the tight finish. Running is nothing new for Auer, who began running in high school in her home state of Oregon. “It was something that I really enjoyed and I wanted to keep running in college,” said Auer. “My dad was military and he suggested that I look into it. ROTC (reserve officer training corps) was a chance for me to go to the school I wanted with the degree program I wanted to take.” Auer attended the University of Portland and was able to join the cross country and track team as a “walk-on” while majoring in civil engineering.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Freedom, a new challenge, checking an item off your bucket list, or perhaps the thrill of soaring with the birds; learning to fly can mean many different things but the Peterson Aero Club is here to help you find that meaning. The Rocky Mountain U.S. Air Force Flight Training Center, also known as the Peterson Aero Club, started in 1951 and was one the first clubs of its kind. It has been operating for more than 60 years with an amazing track record. “Peterson’s Flight Training Center is one of the very best aero clubs in the Air Force and one of the best flight train- ing schools in the world,” said Donald “Greg” Cortum, aero club manager and flying enthusiast. No matter if you are just learning to fly as a hobby or if you are looking to pursue a career as a pilot, the aero club flight school has the facilities, planes and instructors to make it happen. “Anyone who, as a little kid, looked at an airplane and thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen — those are the people who have the strongest desire to learn,” said Chris Walker, flight instructor. “We have a handful of really young students, 16 year olds, which is as young as you can be to get a student’s pilot license; all the way up to people who have retired from their flight careers and are just look- ing to have fun.” “We are also approved for (Veterans Affairs), so a lot of people use their VA benefits to get their instruments, (U.S. Air Force photo/Michael Golembesky) commercial certificates or whatever they want to do,” said PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Peterson Aero Club provides training for entry-level students learning to fly and to experienced pilots Cortum. looking to maintain or upgrade qualifications.

A Canadian tradition since 1981, the Terry Fox Run can usually an actual soldier. be found anywhere in the world where Canadian military is stationed. Fox was a Canadian who had his right leg amputated after discovering a malignant tumor in 1977. Two years later, he decided to run across in a “Marathon of Hope” to raise money for cancer research and awareness. On April 12, 1980, Fox began his run from St. John’s, Newfoundland. He ran 5,373 kilometres (3,339 miles) through six provinces before being forced to stop after his cancer had spread. Fox passed away in June 1981, and later in September, the first Terry Fox Run was held at locations across Canada and raised $3.5 million. Since its inception, the Terry Fox Run has raised about $500 million for cancer research. In the spring of 2011, Canadian personnel here were surprised to discover there was no Terry Fox Run, despite the presence of so many Canadian military. After contacting the Terry Fox Foundation a small group of volunteers were able to organize the first Colorado Springs Terry Fox Run in September 2012. Even though the turnout was a modest 16 people, the group had sowed the seeds and this year participation grew to 28 runners who raised $400 for the Terry Fox Foundation, and plans are already begun for next year’s run to make the Terry Fox Run a tradition in Colorado Springs.

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — Life at Thule Air Base is unique. Located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle at the Air Force’s northernmost base, residents must acclimate to bitter cold, months of darkness and even the occasional polar bear wandering through base. While Air Force bases are synonymous with aircraft and runways, another unique Thule aspect is that it is home to the northernmost deepwater port in the world. With that comes a need for an Air Force boat — a tugboat to be exact. “Some small boats are used by security forces in Florida and some missile retriever boats are used to return target drones at Tyndall AFB,” said Tech. Sgt. T. Read Harris, 821st Support Squadron ve- hicle maintenance representative. “But Thule can claim the only Air Force tugboat.” The “Rising Star,” Thule’s harbor tugboat, was built by Swiftships in Morgan City, La., and delivered in 1991. The 71-foot tugboat is powered by two Detroit diesel two-stroke V-16 engines, each producing 900 water-churning horsepower. Each summer, when the port is not frozen, Thule stages its annual resupply mission for fuel and other necessities needed for the long and brutal winter. During resupply, the tugboat obediently motors into North Star Bay to align massive cargo ships to the pier, push fuel tankers into position, and guide the fuel hoses to transfer the essential fuel to the base. It is also used to push icebergs away from the pier to prevent damage in the ice-cold 41 degree water. “We have the boat because there is no maritime support this far north in the Arctic,” Harris said. “Without the tugboat, our annual fuel resupply would not be possible. Because of this, I know I play a part in the survivability at Thule.” The boat is operated and maintained by Danish contractors, and overseen by Harris, who makes sure technical orders and AFIs are followed. “I ensure the boat is serviced and inspected before ‘port season’ and ensure the boat is prepped for winter storage,” he said. At the end of the brief summer, the Rising Star is pulled out of (U.S. Air Force photo) the frigid water on a tracked trailer and stored on the beach. There THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — The “Rising Star” normally launches the first week in July, in preparation for port season. Thule’s deep- it slumbers through the dark winter, awaiting its next mission when water port, located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle at the Air Force’s northernmost base, is only open for two months of the year when winter releases its icy grip on Thule Air Base. the ice clears from North Star Bay.

So, I signed up for the Colorado Marathon.” Running a marathon is not only physically challenging, it also tests runners’ mental toughness as Auer found out during her first marathon attempt. “I went out a little bit too hard, it was painful, but I was just happy to finish it. I definitely learned a lot about run- ning a marathon,” said Auer. After running a 21k event at Peterson, Auer was invited to join the Headquarters team to represent them in the full marathon. “It is a humbling experience — it is awesome to be a part of something that is so much bigger than me,” said Auer. “Being able to compete in these races requires a lot of com- mander support — that is something that I was very for- tunate to have.” With the Air Force putting more and more focus on fitness and readiness, officers like Auer are setting a great example of self-discipline and preparedness. “It’s a lifestyle choice. It’s not just about going and working out, eating right, taking the stairs instead of the elevator,” said Auer. “You have to put forth the effort, take it one day at a time and don’t get frustrated.” With regard to any special preparation for the event, Auer said “No, just another day.” For more information about the Air Force Marathon, visit (U.S. Air Force photo/Michael Golembesky) http://www.usafmarathon.com/ PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A Fitness on Request kiosk offering cardio, strength training and aerobic workout videos on demand is now available at the Peterson Fitness Center.
