mhnm I awww SENIOR OFFICERS of Squadron 13A Lieutenant J. A. Mohlman, USNR Executive Officer. Lieutenant J. L. Russ, USNR, Com manding Officer. Chief Flight Instructor. llltll 3-ll lt has been stated that Naval Aviators are the best in the world. ln the complete training program very few, if any, items pertaining to aviation, are left untouched. T If, due to unforeseen circumstances, a naval aviator encounters poor weather and visual reference to the earth is eliminated, he is well equipped to continue his flight with the aid of the instruments in his plane without the danger of getting into an undesirable attitude and causing a fatal accident. lt is the purpose of the Main Base Instrument Squadron to train its students in blind flying and radio work. The Link Trainer is used to give cadets simulated instrument and radio flying before he is scheduled for a regular flight in a Vultee or an SNJ. Training in the Link is the same used in actual flight, therefore, a cadet has a good idea of what is expected of him and hovv to do it correctly before his first actual flight.
