Periodicals POSTAGE PAID at San Mateo, CA and additional mailing offices: POSTMASTER: Send address changes to RUPANEWS, P.O. Box 757, Stowe, VT 05672-0757 2 April 2018 RUPANEWS President's Letter I know that John wrote in his VP letter about the death of Gina Montalto, murdered in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, FL. She was the daughter of United Captain, Tony Montalto. Our own Captain, Dan Petrovich, still an active United pilot, represented the ALPA Critical Incident Response Program (CIRP) and did everything he could to help Tony and his family during this trying time. My hat’s off to Dan for doing something that I know had to be difficult. You may have seen the photo on the news of all the airline pilots lined up, in uniform, at the memorial service. That was an impressive display of compassion and brotherhood. There were over a hundred airline employees, of many airlines, lending support for the family. One of our newest members pointed out something I’d neglected to think of. Many of our recent RUPA additions came to us from Continental, or as they say at UAL, “legacy CAL,” and did not cross their picket lines. Some were strikers who eventually returned to CAL after the picket lines came down, and some flew for PEOPLExpress (PEX) or New York Air, and refused to cross OUR picket lines as fleet-quals, remaining at those carriers for much lower pay. They later were absorbed into CAL and came to United with the UAL- CAL merger. We owe that group our gratitude and admiration for their integrity. One college friend of mine, a Navy F-4 driver, was a striking CAL pilot who got hired by PEX and flew the 747 there. When Lorenzo took over PEX, he immediately quit, telling me he would not fly for that man, and he never flew again. During my furlough in the early 1980s, I flew at PEOPLExpress, so I know many of that group, and I’m especially glad they’ve joined us. That new RUPA member also reminded me that, until Lorenzo, Continental was a great airline, and that he was proud to have flown for United until his recent retirement. While I know many of the ex-PEX pilots, I don’t think I’ve seen any update letters from them, and I’d sure enjoy knowing how they’re doing! Welcome to the following new RUPA members: Captain Steve Allen (DCA) Warrenton, VA / Captain Mats Carenback, (ORD) Inverness, IL Captain Brian Florence (active DCA) Leesburg, VA / Captain Barry Fuller (DCA) Gore, VA Captain Charlie Grba (IAH) Lutz, FL./ Captain Kathleen Harrigan (EWR) Key Largo, FL Captain Steve Minarik (IAH) The Woodlands, TX / Captain Dave Nelson (IAH) College Station, TX Bruce Piverotto (ORD) / Captain Paul Wilson (IAH) Highland Village, TX Captain Dave White (ORD) Plano, TX We’ve had more and more members in TX join us. From RUPA Secretary/Treasurer Captain John Rains, “Dave (White) said he was starting up a DFW chapter. Wishing those guys the best and hoping they know we’re here to help!” Thanks Dave. This is great news. I’ll end with a personal note. I’ve bored you before with photos of my 1967 Corvette roadster. My club, The Sting Rays (’63- ‘67s) had 31 cars at the best show in South Florida on March 4th. We also had a mini-RUPA meeting there, with Captains Bob Senderoff, Mike Warde, Rick Valdes and Dan Kurt (who’s a member of the club) join us there. We had a great time and, best of all for us pilots, the burgers and dogs were free! BTW, the cute blonde in the photo is my first, and current, wife, Diana, a former Air Florida flight attendant. Happy Spring! Bob April 2018 RUPANEWS 3 Vice President's Letter It is with such great sadness that I also have to add my condolences for the loss of Gina Rose Montalto who is the daughter of United Captain, Tony Montalto. Gina lost her life in the tragic shooting that occurred in Florida. This has deeply impacted her family, the United community and, of course, this country. I have found it extremely interesting that the airlines are having a difficult time recruiting and finding the right candidates for pilot positions. This is not only happening in this country, but throughout the world. In fact, there is serious consideration to a single pilot operation within the commercial aviation industry. I am not sure that would provide any amount of confidence in the flight crew by the passengers. And now, there is a college in Denver that has a partnership with United to train prospective pilots. It is fascinating how the pilot hiring environment has changed dramatically in the past 30 to 40 years. With regard to the active employees at United, I was very happy to hear that the CEO is taking some time to reconsider the Quarterly Operations Incentive Program. They will begin a series of listening sessions in order to receive feedback as a new program is structured. Let's hope it works out for the active employees. Lastly, I would like to personally compliment Cleve Spring again for the wonderful RUPANEWS magazine that he organizes each month. The articles that he publishes about the various groups around the country are always so fascinating. We at RUPA always enjoy anyone sending a missive about themselves. It does provide a certain degree of entertainment. My biggest feedback is how much our retired group enjoy those articles. I have also found tremendous value in the medical articles that Cleve always includes. As I attend the various luncheons, I hear so much about the various ailments we are all experiencing. Regardless of the aviation background we all share, it does appear to be a main topic of conversation. My best to you all and stay healthy! Still Flying High, John Gorczyca Secretary Treasurer’s Letter Thank you for the opportunity to serve as Secretary Treasurer of RUPA. It’s been almost a year since there was an “advertisement” in RUPANEWS for someone to take the job of Secretary/Treasurer.

  • This Week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker?
    This week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker? Submitted by Larry McDonald Alferd Packer, the Colorado Cannibal, left behind quite a legacy, including a few mementos you can find right here in our own Pioneer Museum. Alferd spent some time in our local jail during his second trial in 1886, for presumably devouring his five companions during their ill-fated journey near Lake City 12 years prior. Although his story is well told through many books, magazine articles, movies, documentaries, and even the Lovely Ballad of Alferd Packer by Phil Ochs, his skill as a jewelry maker are not as well known. On the second floor of the museum’s main building is an exhibit of early Gunnison law enforcement officials and related artifacts. Included in the display are items Mr. Packer made during his considerable time behind bars. There is the beautiful cane he made from animal horns, a watch fob he made from human hair, along with a stick pin and watch chain. Also displayed are the leg shackles he wore while in court, and a gruesome sketch and article from an edition of the Harpers Weekly magazine. It was Harpers Weekly illustrator, John A. Randolph, who had stumbled upon the victims’ remains above Lake City in August 1874, and brought their plight to the attention of the nation in the October 17 edition a few months later. The main entrance building at the museum houses an incredible collection of artifacts that can seriously hinder a visitors’ attempt to see the exhibits in the other 30+ buildings on site.

  • Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship
    Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship EAST TROY, WISCONSIN -- An ICAS member and recipient of the 2014 Civilian Performer Pinnacle Award will receive one of the air show industry’s highest honors July 21, during EAA AirVenture at EAA’s Theater in the Woods. Bob Carlton, owner of Vertigo Airshows, will receive the 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship according to a news release issued by World Airshow News June 8. Carlton joins a long list of honorees that reads like an air show hall of fame. Carlton began his fascination with aviation as a young boy flying control line models. He learned to fly in 1979 at age 19 and soon mastered hang gliders, sailplanes, powered airplanes, and helicopters. He began flying sailplane airshows in 1993. After he began flying airshows, Carlton often found it difficult to arrange for a tow plane at each show site. His engineering background led to the development of the world's first twinjet sailplane, which allowed him to climb to altitude under his own power. His innovative approach to glider aerobatics continued with the addition of the Super Salto jet sailplane in 2009. With a more powerful jet engine, the Super Salto not only allowed Carlton to climb to altitude without a tow plane, but he could also perform a full low-level aerobatic routine under power. Carlton’s latest addition to his airshow stable is the SubSonex JSX-2 microjet kit aircraft. He serves as the chief test pilot for the little jet and has debuted a full aerobatic airshow routine in the SubSonex for the 2015 airshow season.

Most of the Loop winds through public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, although many mines and buildings are on private property. Today’s explorers come, summer or winter, in 4-wheel-drive vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and even 2-wheel-drive cars for a short distance. They explore on foot, horseback, or snowshoes, or ski on the numerous trails. Instead of shovels and gold pans, they carry sketchbooks, cameras, fishing rods, and field guides to help them enjoy the grandeur, scenery, solitude, and wildlife of the remote San Juan backcountry. This gem, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, is your gateway off the beaten track. Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet). ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Rising high above the Alpine Loop, the mountains insist that you acknowledge their presence. All around, a kaleidoscope of summer wildflowers gathers along the trails, and the sounds of cascading streams are everywhere. The pure, clear air startles you with its crisp bite, even before your gasp reminds you of the altitude. In front of you the road beckons, leading you higher and higher into an alpine tapestry of greens, browns, whites, and blues.

  • Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery
    Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery Exploring the Northern Frontier The Rivera Expedition The “Kingdom and Province of New Mexico” and its northern frontiers was a huge geographical area. This kingdom included all or part of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas. In 1765 New Mexican Governor Tomas Velez Cachupin asked explorer Don Juan Maria Antonio de Rivera to lead an expedition to explore the northern frontier. Governor Cachupin was worried about encroachment by other European powers and wanted to find the legendary Rio del Tizon (Colorado River) and a place to ford it. The Governor was also interested in the legend that was on the other side of the Rio del Tizon River, was Lake Copala, home of an unknown wealthy civilization. Rivera had traveled north before in 1761 and had his own reasons for going that included searching for gold and silver deposits and evidence of native mining activity. Rivera and his men traveled as far north as the present-day City of Durango, Colorado and then returned home to Santa Fe with no news of European intrigue or finding a mysterious civilization. Governor Cachupin, although discouraged, sent Rivera north one more time to reach the Rio del Tizon and report on evidence of this much-rumored civilization. Rivera left Santa Fe in October of 1765 and headed north as far as present-day Delta, Colorado before returning home to Santa Fe. Although unsuccessful in their quest, the expedition had mapped and kept journals of the new lands and people they met.
