Daedalian Quick Links Daedalian Quick Links Website | Membership Application | Scholarship Application | Make a Donation | Pay Dues | Magazine February 2018 Col. Joel Carey, 12th Flying Training Wing commander It started with a scholarship Life Member maintains career-long association with Flight #75 Col. Joel Carey remembers visiting the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., as a child, and being amazed at the aircraft and displays. "I couldn't get enough of the stuff. I was always the last to leave," recalled Colonel Carey, now the 12th Flying Training Wing commander at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, and a brigadier general select. That fascination and appreciation for military aviation grew, especially after receiving a Daedalian scholarship from the James Connally Flight #75 in Waco, Texas, in 1992. "The money they generously gave, along with matching funds from the national Daedalians, helped quite a bit in paying for my college and living expenses at the time," the colonel said. "I think I also used a portion of those funds to start learning how to fly out at the Waco airport." The scholarship made an impression on him - so much so that he has continued to stay in touch with Flight #75 during his Air Force career. "I remember it being quite a big deal getting recognized by a group of veteran aviators who'd experienced things I only hoped to experience one day. I also remember being extremely surprised and honored receiving something like that amid the great group of cadets in my Baylor Air Force ROTC detachment," said the colonel, now a Daedalian Life Member. Even though he didn't know much about the Daedalians before he received the scholarship, his fellowship grew over the years with "many a warrior and Airman," including longtime friend and mentor, retired Air Force Col. Donald Schreiber of Flight #75. Colonel Carey first met Colonel Schreiber when he was his professor of aerospace studies at Baylor's Air Force ROTC program. "I'm humbled to have been able to do what I've done for a living over the last 25 years. I'm incredibly proud to be an Airman first of all, but to be able to serve, lead AND fly all over the globe has been more than I could've imagined," he said. Colonel Carey is a command pilot, and has more than 2,900 flight hours, including 516 in combat. He's flown the F-15C/D, F-111, EF-111, MC-12W, C-208, T-37 and T-38. He's been 12th FTW commander since June 2016. "I've been blessed to work with and for many great Airmen through the years who've showed me what it takes to serve and succeed in the demanding, unforgiving domain of Air Force aviation," Colonel Carey said. "I've also seen incredible, selfless leadership exhibited in the communities and churches my family has known. And last but anything but least, my family, including my beautiful bride, have continued to inspire me to push on in giving my best. "Make no mistake. It hasn't been easy, either for my family or me, but it's been a rewarding, fulfilling venture," he added. "The Daedalians represent this community of aviators that I've been privileged to be a part of. They're committed to keeping the legacy of military aviation alive through supporting those currently serving and encouraging and inspiring the generations that follow. I'm proud to contribute in a small way to this effort." MARCH 22 -- SAVE THE DATE! Join us for the Big Give!

Remembering Captain Randolph Several Daedalians recently paid tribute to Capt. William M. Randolph at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery on the 90th anniversary of his death. The namesake of Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph was killed in the crash of a Curtiss AT-4 Hawk near Gorman, Texas, on Feb. 17, 1928. From left are retired Col. Ed Sheeran, USAF; Maureen DeFelice, Executive Director; retired Col. Dan Meyers, USA: retired Lt. Col. Olga Custodio, USAFR; retired Col. Daniel "Stump" Sowada, USAF; retired Col. Gary Baber, USAF; and retired Col. Gary Walston, ANG. Wreaths were placed by the Daedalians and Joint Base San Antonio leadership. Representing JBSA were, from left: Col. Randy Oakland, 12th Flying Training Wing vice commander; Col. Thomas G. Miner, 502nd Security and Readiness Group commander; Chief Master Sgt. Heather Ransom, 502nd SRG command chief; and Chief Master Sgt. Antonio Goldstrom, 12th FTW command chief. Below are the gravesites of Captain Randolph's family: his wife, Cornelia Read; his youngest son, Benjamin D. Randolph, and his oldest son, William Reed Randolph. He also had a daughter, Helene. Orville Wright Achievement Award winner Congratulations to 2nd Lt. Collin Michael Goodman, recipient of the Daedalian Orville Wright Achievement Award for the third quarter of 2017. In 2014, Lieutenant Goodman was awarded a Daedalian scholarship from Sierra Flight #27 in Sacramento, California. He was also named the top graduate for the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program, Class 17-06. His follow-on assignment is the 355th Fighter Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. The Old Pueblo Flight #12 has offered to present the OWAA to Lieutenant Goodman at a date to be determined. Congratulations, scholarship recipient Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Henry Bishop, Inland Empire Flight 41 Flight Captain, presented the Daedalian Descendant Scholarship Certificate to his grandson, Brendon Devaney, Dec. 23. Brendon is a senior in the Cadet Corps at Texas A&M, majoring in International Studies, and is the fourth generation of his family to serve in the military. His great-grandfather was in World War I and both of his grandfathers retired from the U.S. Air Force. His father is a former Naval officer and a retired vice admiral of NOAA. Brendon will graduate in June 2018 and has been awarded a Naval aviator slot. Have you seen our video? We recently debuted our Daedalians recruiting video, "You Are The Legacy," which is marketed to military aviators who are nearing the end of their active duty career and are looking for ways to stay involved and give back. While many of the photos that we used were from our archives, we also put out a call to our members, asking for photos of themselves throughout their careers. We thank those Daedalians who sent us treasured memories, and want to recognize those whose photos were chosen for the video. * Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Halloran, shown at the :21 mark. * Retired Air Force Col. Dean Vikan, :24. * Retired Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Robert E. "Boomer" Milstead, Jr., :37 (shown above) * Retired Air Force Col. Marilyn H. Kott, :41. From our members... We appreciate our members sending in photos of themselves from throughout their career. We'll continue to publish them on a regular basis in Aviator. Retired Army Maj. Stan Marcieski sent these two photos of himself from his days in Vietnam flying medevac missions, or DUSTOFF. Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Thomas J. Kemp flew the OV-10 in 1971-72 out of various bases in Vietnam and was stationed at Nakhon Phanom (NKP), Thailand. He wrote: "I am treasurer and volunteer at the Fort Worth Aviation Museum on Meacham Airport. In fact, we have an OV-10 in our collection of 26 Vietnam era aircraft in which I have flown eight combat sorties over Laos in 1972. Call Sign Nail 14." Who is Steve Daedalus? Thanks to retired Air Force Col. Joe Fitzpatrick, flight captain at the Harley H. Pope Flight #48, for sending us this Jeopardy! answer. The character Steve Daedalus was James Joyce's literary alter ego, and first appeared in "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." This month in aviation heritage Feb. 4, 1902: Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan. Lindbergh reported to Brooks Field on March 19, 1924, to begin a year of military flight training with the United States Army Air Service, and later at nearby Kelly Field. Only 18 of the 104 cadets who started flight training a year earlier remained when Lindbergh graduated first overall in his class in March 1925, earning his pilot's wings and a commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Service Reserve Corps.
