Local aviators host intercollegiate flying championships May 6-8 The "Rose Bowl" of aviation competition will be hosted by a community college for the first time in its 34-year history. Palomar will perform the honors in Bakersfield, California, the site of this year's National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) championship to be held May 6-8. According to Dr. Kent B ackart, faculty advisor, the competition is to promote safety and proficiency in aviation. The events are not called air meets any longer but rather
"safecons," meaning safety and flight evaluation conferences. Safecon competition includes precision landing, navigation exercises, aircraft recognition and other in-the-air and on-the-ground events. Dr. Backart notes that in addition to attracting favorable public attention to college aviation programs in general, the competitions serve as a springboard for those who score well to go on to good careers in the aviation industry. Some past competitors, he adds, have become
military pilots, airline captains, or have been placed in position with the Federal Aviation Administration. A formal team member, Candi Chamberlin was the top woman pilot in the 1981 national competition. She captained the Palomar team in 1980, became a certified flight instructor last August, and will graduate in May from Metropolitan State College in Denver with a degree in aeronautical sciences. Now 21 years
of age, Ms. Chamberlin aims for a career as an airline pilot. Also completing his degree at Metropolitan State is David Wood. Wood was a mem her of the NIF A excutive committee. Coaching this year's team for Palomar is John Erhardt last year's Pacific Region top pilot. As host for the national copetition , several of the Palomar team members serve on the NIF A board of directors. They include David Alford, president; Jackie Bongard, vice president; Lynda Fowler,
secretary; and Van Lynch, treasurer. Gene Kropf, a Palomar team advisor and instructor at the college, is a former FAA Western Region public information officer who has been master of ceremonies for the awards presentations for many years at both national and regional safecons. The local flying team is the defending Pacific Coast champion, having captured the title at San Mateo last year from San Jose State University's nine-year possession.
