To prepare for the possibility of a budget sequestration on March 1, the Federal Aviation Admin-istration (FAA) is making plans to reduce its expenditures by ap-proximately $600 million for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2013.

Among the changes that the FAA is considering that will have an impact on FY 2013 operations are:

1. Furlough the vast majority of FAA’s nearly 47,000 employees (in-cluding all management and non-management employees working

within the Air Traffic Organiza-tion) for approximately one day per pay period until the end of the fis-cal year in September, with a maxi-mum of two days per pay period.

2. Eliminate midnight shifts in over 60 towers across the country.

3. Close over 100 air traffic con-trol towers at airports with fewer than 150,000 flight operations or 10,000 commercial operations per year.

4. Reduce preventative mainte-nance and equipment provisioning

A Dentist You Can Collaborate With —ADVERTISEMENT

By Jess PaniszczynThe ExxonMobil Foundation

and National Engineers Week Foundation collaborated for the 10th consecutive year to host In-troduce a Girl to Engineering Day. The program promotes interest in engineering among middle-school students and helps reduce the gen-der gap in science, technology, en-gineering and math (STEM) fields.

“We can inspire our nation’s youth to pursue STEM careers by capturing their interest at an early age,” said Suzanne McCarron, pres-ident of the ExxonMobil Founda-tion. “Introduce a Girl to Engineer-ing Day helps young women gain self-confidence and an appreciation for the engineering profession by learning from role models and tak-ing part in engaging math and sci-ence activities.”

The event only helped encourage Ashley Merzedez Guerrero-Estra-da’s plans for the future. A student at Ann Richards Middle School, DISD, Ashley plans to one day be-come an astronaut.

“We have to work in teams and you get to hear other people’s ideas,”

Ashley said. “I like doing that, be-cause I’m like ‘that’s cool’ or ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ Then you get to build something, which is what I like the most. I’m a kinetic learner.

“To be an astronaut, you need to have a math, science or engineer-ing degree, so I’m going to get an engineering degree. I like stars and astronomy and all that kind of stuff. And I am a daredevil, so next to doing all that cool stuff, I get to be somewhere nobody really gets to go ever in their lifetime. People can say ‘I’ve gone to Hawaii,’ or ‘I’ve gone to Tokyo.’ But they can’t say ‘I’ve been to space.’

“You have to work really hard to be an astronaut. So it will be one of those thing where I will know I have worked this hard and I got some-thing really cool. It will be one of those ‘it is hard but worth it’ things.

“This event is mostly about girls. So if people say ‘you can’t do this because you’re a girl,’ say ‘s*** them.’ We are all girls here, and we are do-ing something really awesome.”

ExxonMobil employees led hands-on activities that connect math and science to everyday life

and reinforce classroom instruction. Activities include water-purifica-tion experiments, energy-industry demonstrations using 3D technol-ogy to search for oil and natural gas, and exploring the science of manu-facturing cosmetics.

Throughout her formative years, Aminia Randolph, a student at Ir-ving’s Crockett Middle School, has been focused on a sports career. However, her experiences at Exx-onMobil have opened the door to some new possibilities.

“I like experiencing all the sci-ence things we get to do and see here,” Aminia said. “The one career

I wanted to do in my life was play basketball. I never thought about anything like this, but it’s fun. I love math and science, so I would con-sider a career in cosmetics. I think girls should consider engineering, because it is fun.”

“The National Engineers Week Foundation is committed to help-ing students -- especially girls who are underrepresented in engineer-ing and technology -- discover engineering and how it helps the world,” said Leslie Collins, execu-tive director, National Engineers Week Foundation. “Our partner-ship with the ExxonMobil Founda-

tion enables thousands of youth to envision a fulfilling future through a career in engineering.”

The need to engage girls in math and science studies, and eventu-ally careers, is critical. The National Science Foundation estimates that 80 percent of jobs in the next de-cade will require math and science knowledge. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee re-ports that women represent just 14 percent of engineers and comprise only 27 percent of mathematics and computer-science professionals.

n Burglary of Motor Vehicles February 12, 9:30 a.m.

An officer was dispatched to 2700 Esters Blvd in reference to burglary of a motor vehicle and was met by two victims of two separate ve-hicles that were broken into.

The suspect broke the right rear passenger glass of the first victim’s 2012 SUV and took a suitcase. The second victim’s 2014 vehicle was entered by breaking the right front passenger door glass. The suspect took a Garrett GPS sys-tem from the dash. Another car break-in had occurred across the street at 1111 N. 28th Ave. where the suspect broke out the right rear pas-senger door glass and ripped the CD player from the dash and removed it along with a large speaker box containing a 12 inch JBL speaker and a 400w amplifier.n Assault/Bodily Injury February 12, 1:29 p.m.

Officers went to Terminal E, Gate E26 in reference to a disturbance where they found a K-9 officer speaking with a black female who had been told she would not be allowed to fly. She had a brace on her left wrist and carried a leg brace in her right hand due to a previously injured leg and wrist.

It was later determined that she had injured another woman by pushing her to the ground as the victim stood in front of the jet bridge door in an attempt to prevent her from board-ing her flight. The pair disagreed over whether the alleged suspect’s carryon bag would fit in the overhead bin. Ultimately, she was told she would have to check her bag and that it would cost $100. The alleged victim was unable to check the bag by Internet, so the owner of the bag started walking toward the jet bridge door to board the flight. When the victim blocked the door, she was pushed to the ground by the trav-

eler. The victim said the traveler pushed her over an extension cord, striking her in the face with a metal knee brace. After the alleged victim was knocked to the ground, the traveler entered the jet bridge and made her way onto the aircraft where she began to yell and scream.

Other travelers said the alleged victim re-ceived scratch marks and complained of back pain from the fall. The alleged suspect declined medical aide until she was told she was being arrested for Assault with Bodily Injury at which time she complained of pain to her knee and asked to be taken to a hospital where she was taken by DFW EMS before booking. n Burglary of Motor Vehicles February 12, 1:55 p.m.

The spare tire of a 2012 SUV was stolen from Terminal C, Section C sometime between Thurs., Feb. 7 and Mon., Feb. 11. The vehicle was not damaged and the spare tire had no locks.

n Burglary of Motor Vehicle February 12, 4:18 p.m.

An officer received a report of a burglary of a motor vehicle at Terminal C, near Gate 31, Level C.

Returning from his flight, the victim noticed his car door was unlocked, but that his pocket change was in the console, so he placed his suitcase in the back seat, thinking nothing was taken. At home, when he removed his suitcase from the back seat, he checked for his Mossberg shotgun model 500 w/pistol grip, valued at $350 and a black nylon carrying case valued at $25, normally stored under the back seat. The shot-gun and case had been stolen. No ammunition was in the vehicle. n Unauthorized GroundTransportation February 14, 7:54 p.m.

A cab driver tried to pick up a passenger without a dispatch ticket, because he said he was picking up his cousin.

The passenger said he was not related to the driver and was to be billed for the transporta-tion. Billing rates were clearly stated to the side of the rear right passenger door. The passenger said he had been using another driver each week to pick him up, but he was not available on this occasion so he sent, who the passenger said he believed to be his regular driver’s brother, in his

place. Guest assistance directed the passenger to legitimate transportation. The driver said his cousin was not in the area, so he asked him to pick up a passenger for him.

The driver said he did not get authorization from the central queue, because it would incon-venience his fare. The driver’s DFW permit was seized because he failed get a dispatch ticket from the central queue, violating Unauthorized Ground Transportation. The driver was arrested and his taxi removed by wrecker services. n TheftFebruary 18, 12:35 p.m.

At 3876 Minters Chapel Rd. (Bear Creek Cem-etery), copper wire was stolen from three light poles in the parking lot. Twenty wires had been removed from the light poles. Each was approxi-mately 30 feet long. Total value was estimated to be $2250. n TheftFebruary 18, 3:13 p.m.

Two unattended bags at Terminal E14 lower level turned out to be bags stolen from Terminal D31. The owner of one suitcase said a black can-vas toiletry bag containing miscellaneous items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, hairspray, etc. valued at $20 was missing. That bag had arrived on a flight before the traveler’s flight. The owner of the other bag containing $1,200 of clothing said nothing was missing.


By Elaine PaniszczynAfrican American aviators, historians and

aviation administrators comprised a panel discussing the state of Aviation and encour-aging young people to enter the field. Panel members spoke about their own passions and obstacles on the way to fulfilling their dreams during a celebration of Black History Month at Frontiers of Flight Museum on Feb. 23.

HiSTOriAn“The most important thing for these kids

to understand is the difference between a ca-reer and a job and to find what they are pas-sionate about,” said Ronnie Davis, Vice-Pres-ident for the Claude R. Pratt of the Tuskegee Airmen Chapter in the Dallas area.

“I wish someone had given me more in-structions when I was a lot younger to follow my dream. The doors are open for them. So much has changed, and they need to think about making the right choices early on in their lives so they don’t have regrets when they get older.”

AirPlAne SAleSMAnLarry Johnson, Piper Aircraft Regional

Sales Manager for Texas Piper, told the stu-dents about the obstacles he faced pursuing his dream to become a pilot.

“You have to understand: There is a differ-ence between the level of privilege you have today and what we had back then,” Johnson said. “My mother and my family would ask me, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’

“I want to be a pilot; I want to fly air-planes,” he told them.

“My mother would look at me, and she would say, ‘Son, they’re not going to let you do that. They’re not going to let you fly an airplane. You need to get you a job where you can take care of your family. You need to be-come a plumber or a carpenter or an electri-cian.’

“That didn’t fit with me, but you have to understand her reality. This was in the ‘60’s.

There wasn’t slavery back then, but there was still segregation where we couldn’t go where we wanted to go. Today, you can go wherever you want.”

Johnson said that undaunted, he went ahead and got his private pilot’s license at age 17. He could not drive a car, but he could fly a plane. He joined the military right out of high school.

“I tried college a couple of times, but I nev-er stopped flying, and I wasn’t of the college mindset,” Johnson said. “I was an electronics technician in the Navy, and after I got out I got a job repairing Xerox copying machines.”

He decided he liked sales and got a job selling home security systems. Later, he de-cided he would like to try selling airplanes. Although for over a year and a half he was turned down for airplane sales jobs, he kept trying.

“I wanted to sell airplanes, and I wanted somebody to let me try. Finally, somebody said, ‘Okay. We’re going to teach you how to sell airplanes.’ That was 1977, and I continue to do that today, 35 plus year later.”

MiliTArYMajor Alejandro House was a Marine pi-

lot who now serves as a corporate pilot for Bell Helicopter where he flies the world’s fastest corporate jet, the Cessna Citation. Major House, USMC Ret. served as a Naval Aviator, flying the F/A 18 Hornet. He flew more than 70 missions in Afghanistan and Iraq in Operation Enduring and Iraqi Free-dom.

His early life was not always that produc-tive and successful. He shared his story with the students.

“At about age 10 or 11, I went down the wrong path,” House said. “My mother worked 12 hours on, 12 off, and a lot of the time she was off, I was at school, so the streets became my family. I got into gang related activities, in and out of school, to the point where they kicked me out of the entire school district.

“I went to live with my father in Los An-geles, and they got me into a continuing edu-cation school,” House said. “It was self-paced, and I really wanted to be on my own, so I did a year and a half of school in four and a half months. I was finished by February of my senior year and went to boot camp in March. I graduated boot camp on one Friday, high school the next Friday, and went right back into the Marine Corps.”

The rest is history.Air TrAFFic cOnTrOller

Myron Pullum, a retired air traffic con-troller, heard a recurring message from all the speakers.

“They all seem to be dreamers – people who want to do something different,” Pullum said. “That was just like me. As a kid growing up in Baltimore, MD, it was what we called ‘The Concrete Jungle.’ There wasn’t a lot of grass where I lived.”

His grandmother worked for an aviation company called Glen L. Martin which is now Lockheed Martin.

“She went to work to help the war effort, building bombs, bullets and airplanes,” Pul-lum said. “She had come out of a domestic environment where all she could do was clean houses working for other people. My initial interest in aviation came from the stories she told, and visiting her house. I had to drive by the airfield where the planes were, and I’d see the guys walking in their uniforms with

their old leather bomber jackets on. I always wanted to do that.”

Those ideas fell by the wayside as he started playing sports and in 1971 after high school, he had an opportunity to play semi-pro baseball. His parents insisted that he go to college. He went to college, but at age 19, he said he felt he should be fighting for his country. He was expecting to go to Vietnam, but instead was assigned to South Korea.

“I always saw that airfield down at the end of my barracks and decided I wanted a part of that as an air traffic controller,” he said. “I went to six months of air traffic school. We’re the guys on the other side of the microphone talking to the pilots. ATC tells pilots where to go.”

He spent 24 years being an air traffic con-troller and teaching others how to do that job.

“I still love aviation; I love airports,” Pul-lum said. “What is it that makes you do what you want to do? What is it about you that makes you different from the person sitting next to you? I’m challenging you to do some-thing different. I dared to be different, and my family was very proud of me.”

Magic WordsJohnson left the students with what he

called Magic Words:“Can you please help me?” and “Will you please help me?”

The students were encouraged to not miss an opportunity to get help from others and to seek scholarships in the field of their dreams.

lic P-47 “Thunderbolt” aircraft. He prepared airplanes for the Air Force gunnery competition in Las Ve-gas in 1949. Although the Tuske-gee Airmen won the competition, because of racism, the trophy was etched “Winner Unknown” and was lost for years.

Hogues marched in President Harry S. Truman’s 1949 inaugu-ration parade. Since Truman had signed the executive order deseg-regating the military in 1948, the Tuskegee Airmen had a unit that marched in his inaugural parade to thank him. The museum has a set of Hogues’ orders authorizing him to go to Washington D.C. to partici-pate in the parade.

“(President Truman) put us up in a hangar instead of in a barrack,” Hogues said. “He put the whites in the barrack and us over in the hangar. We slept on cots, and it was cold in that hangar. We had to stay in there until we marched in the parade.

“We marched past President Truman and saluted him,” Hogues said.

“He had to pull off his hat when he saluted us, and he and (Vice President) Alvin Barkley looked like two red tomatoes (because) they were cold. It was in January in Washington D.C. and was the coldest day I’d ever seen in my life. I thought it was wonderful to get to march past my president and get to salute him.”

Hogues said conditions for black airmen and other black soldiers im-proved after that. His family did not find out until 2008 that he was a Tuskegee Airman.

“He didn’t tell us,” said Hogues daughter Barbara Hogues, who also had an aviation career working in

international reservations for Delta Airlines at Dallas/Fort Worth In-ternational Airport. She said that since then he watched the movie Red Tails with Oprah Winfrey, met Neo the rapper, and actor Terrence Howard. “If he hadn’t said, ‘I can do more,’ if he hadn’t done something

special, he would not have had those experiences,” Ms. Hogues told the students.

“Before the Tuskegee Airman, African American men and wom-en and minorities (in the military) were not able to train to be what-ever they wanted to be,” she said. After finishing basic training, her father received orders to go to Japan to do maintenance work.

“But he decided, ‘No. I didn’t join the army just to do cleanup; I joined the military so I could train and prove myself so that I could be a good father and provider for my family,’” Ms. Hogues said. “He was told he could join the Tuske-gee Airmen if he passed a test. He passed the test. If he hadn’t passed, he would have been cleaning-up.

“ One day, you may have to pass a test, and if you don’t pass that test, you might not be able to do what you want to do. You have to believe in yourself and have a dream. You have to prepare yourself right now. One day you’re going to have to de-cide: Am I going to clean the floors, or am I going to do more?”

That was a recurrent message to the youth visiting with the aviation professionals.

TuSkegee inSTiTuTe grADuATeCaptain Jeffie McNeal (69), a

Mississippi native and Tuskegee In-stitute graduate, was one of a hand-ful of Tuskegee Army and Air Force ROTC students chosen during the mid-60’s for flight lessons given by Chief Alfred Anderson, considered to be the Father of Black Aviation. On his first solo training in a Cess-na 172, Capt. McNeal remembered being too high and hot to land and opted to go around, thus impress-ing and receiving praise from his instructor. He showed students the logbook with his and Campbell’s signatures side by side.

“He was the guy that took El-

eanor Roosevelt for a ride that in-spired her to impress on her hus-band to start a flying program for black men,” McNeal said. “Army Reserve Officers Training Corps trained most of the officers for the Viet Nam War.”

McNeal was commissioned in the Army as a Second Lieutenant and rose to the rank of Captain. He served a tour in Vietnam as a Port Officer and a Highway Transport Officer in the Transportation De-partment.

A PREMIER RESORT FOR CATS AND DOGS

By Phil CerroniIt takes a lot of audacity to come

out and say, “I am going to be a driving force behind the arts, and together we will create enduring works.” It is a challenge that the United States government has shied away from on multiple occasions and other nations have attempted with varying degrees of success. On the other hand, one of the great-est success stories was written by a private empire, the Medici family, whose method of patronage during the Renaissance gave us Michelan-gelo and Leonardo da Vinci, among others.

Although the Medici’s are big boots to fill, Red Bull has spent the past few years walking the globe, looking for the next generation of masters. Besides compiling an im-pressive collection of artwork and lectures, the energy drink company has created such ventures as Red Bull Records and Red Bull Curates: The Canvas Cooler Project, which have already inspired thousands of artists and musicians worldwide.

“Here’s the big difference be-tween Red Bull and other com-panies, Red Bull is not an energy drink; Red Bull is a lifestyle,” pro-claimed Lisa Richardson, a Dallas event coordinator who frequently collaborates with Red Bull. “It’s about being creative – it’s about not being afraid of who you really are. It sounds cliché, but being able to spread your wings.

“Red bull puts a lot of young and up and coming artists with mentors like Questlove and Erykah Badu to help them hone their skills and not just go out there and press play.”

Travelling from New Orleans to compete, DJ Jive talked about the lengths Red Bull has gone to nur-ture his own career.

“I honestly think Red Bull single handedly rebuilt the music culture. A big brand like that really reaches out and puts musicians in interest-ing positions to perform and get the exposure they need,” Jive said. “Red Bull’s put me in the most interest-ing places to DJ – like on a barge with a skate park – and supports me financially for it.

“I guess you can say they’re a sponsor, but it’s kind of unspoken,” he continued. “There’s no other brand doing it, not doing it the right way.”

Artistic sensitivity isn’t every-thing, however. You have to have grit to be top dog, and dropping a man from space with nothing more a suit and parachute seems to fit the bill.

Red Bull’s Thre3style regional held on Feb. 23 at the Trees in Dal-las’ historic Deep Ellum neighbor-hood is a prime example of the company’s goal to make 15th c. style patronage feel at home in the 21st c. With $17,000 in cash awarded that night alone, the comparison to Italian noblemen’s penchant to

bankroll artists does not seem so unreasonable. Dallas is by no means the end of the road, however. The winner will travel to the Thre3style 2013 National Final in LA, and one

lucky American will competed in the World Final in Toronto later this year – making Thre3style one of the most extensive DJ competi-tions in the world. Period.

The rumble in Toronto will show how far reaching Thre3style really is. With 130 DJ’s competing in 32 events in the United States alone, it

is staggering to imagine the result of all the member countries pitted themselves against each other in vicious competition. The musicians who make it to Canada are defi-nitely among the most influential collection of practicing spin doctors today.

Thre3style’s unique format, which gives competitors 15 min-utes to mix three separate styles in their best attempt to whip the crowd into a Dionysian frenzy, of-fers a singular challenge to young DJ’s who are beginning to make a name for themselves.

DJ Z-Trip, who along with DJ’s Jazzy Jeff and A-Trak judged the competition, laid out why this con-test stretches young artists to their limit.

“No other event is really focus-ing on these specific categories in a DJ battle,” Z-Trip said. “We’re looking for the person who has the ability to mix that music together and present it in a way that is great-er than the sum of its parts. Some people can go up and mix records and actually do something, adding to it and putting their spin on it (no pun intended) in a way that people will actually digest it and recognize it and want to come back for more . They’re a step ahead of everybody.

“I’m trying to find the person who goes as far out of the bound-aries as possible,” he continued. “I

want to see the person who takes that three style thing so literal, they play bagpipe music then they play death metal then they play folk music, make it work and have ev-erybody in the crowd losing their mind. That’s a master. Ultimately, that’s the people we are hoping to inspire in new generations.”

As curtain approached and the crowd filtered into the Trees, last

year’s world champion, Four Color Zack took to the tables, showing the guests, some of whom had nev-er seen a DJ live, what a world class musician can do.

As DJ Spin Styles began both his set and the competition with one fell scratch, the ability to retreat to the VIP balcony that overlooked the stage offered a good vantage

Although there was little room for dancing in the midst of the crowd, the audience moved as much as they were able, giving the DJs the valuable crowd feeback they need to mix their sets on the fly. / Photos by Rick Rodney

Thre3style 2013 Regional Winner, DJ Donnie Dee, takes a moment to catch his breath before the after-parties.

ing the F/A 18 Hornet. “If you look up into the sky and

see and airplane and watch it as long as you can see it, you have a love for aviation,” House told stu-dents. He said when he grew up in California, he used to go to the air-port and watch planes all day long.

Now the CEO of House Group, Inc, he continues to promote and foster aviation science in the sec-ondary school systems. Major House has worked with several school districts around the nation including locally, McKinney, Irving and Fort Worth Country Day.

“It’s my job to inspire young men and women at elementary, middle school, and even high school ages to become a pilot or to work in the aviation field,” House said. “I tell the kids you can be an aviation law-yer, you can be an aviation doctor, you can be in marketing, or you can be in sales…to get them involved and get them inspired to go into the field of aviation. It’s a huge in-dustry, and a lot of kids only see two employment opportunities, either a pilot or a mechanic. Logistics, sup-ply chain management – all of that feeds into our aviation pipeline.

“We try to show them that whatever your dream job might be, I guarantee you: You can find it in the field of aviation,” House said. “Once we get them into that world, it changes their whole dynamics and how they see things in life.

“A lot of the airlines are posting jobs for those retiring in the future. Half of (major airlines’) pilot staff are due to retire in the next 10 to 12 years. That’s a lot of pilots they’re going to need. For every one pilot you can count on three mechan-ics. We are going to need people in the head office too. We need to motivate them for not what they see today but for what will be there tomorrow.”

AviATiOn HigH ScHOOlRay Evans with American Eagle

is an instructor pilot and line check airman, jet check airman, and air-craft pilot evaluator at DFW Air-port. He has been with the com-pany 15 years. He started as a First Officer. He is the Southwest Region Vice President for Black Aerospace Professionals.

“I come from humble begin-nings,” Evans said. “My mom worked in the hospital system in the medical field as a cashier in a hospital; my dad was janitor in a hospital. My first flying experience was when I was 13 and had some money from working at McDon-alds. I went out and took some fly-ing lessons and when I got home, my parents said, ‘Where you been all day?’”

“I started my formal training in New York City at Aviation High School, dedicated to aviation main-tenance training.”

He graduated in 1988. “After that, I went to Utah Val-

ley University and got a Bachelor of Science degree in Aviation,” Evans said. “From there, I started doing

flight instruction, charter flying, corporate flying, and worked for a small airline in South America.

“It’s been a wonderful experi-ence; an interesting life. If I had it to do over again, I’d do it. The field has been good to me, and I’ve had lots of opportunities to mentor kids. I like to talk to them about what they really need to focus on, which is school and staying away from violence. I try to find out who they are and what their dreams are.”

PilOT/AirPlAne SAleSMAnBefore the museum event Fri-

day morning, Larry Johnson with Texas Piper flew a brand new Piper airplane to the museum from Vero Beach, FL. The Piper’s price tag is just under $1.3 million.

“My message to (the students) is to look at the people here that are role models but to look beyond the obvious, the obvious being the pilot,” Johnson said. “In fact, there’s so much more. Not everybody’s cut out to be a pilot. I have them look at the interior (of the plane), and have them think about how high it goes and how cold it must be. Some-body had to design the tail, some-body had to design the wings, and somebody designed the satellite. I tell them to follow their hearts and to look beyond what they can see on the surface. Think about other things that could be possible.”

A native Texan, Johnson said he was inspired by Astronaut John Glenn to set in motion the steps required to reach his goal of flight. Joining the Civil Air Patrol, at age 16, he was selected for a flight train-

ing program offered by the CAP and subsequently won an appointment to Private Pilot training. Johnson was certified to fly before graduat-ing from high school. He now has nearly 9,000 hours of flight time.

In the U.S. Navy, Johnson trained as an electronics technician. In the private sector, he first worked as a salesman in the home security industry. In 1977, he combined his passions for selling and flying by selling new Piper Aircraft. In 1996, Larry was recruited by Cut-ter Aviation to join the aircraft sales team and is now the Piper Aircraft Regional Sales Manager for Texas Piper. He is responsible for regional sales of the new Hondajet.

PrivATe PilOT leSSOnSDurelle Robinson trained to be a

pilot through civilian flight schools. “I went to college first at Middle

Tennessee State University in Mur-

physboro, TN, and majored in Avi-ation Science,” Robinson said. He said he worked for a bank to fund his aviation training.

“That’s how I got my money to pursue my dream of being a pilot,” Robinson said. “I got my pilot certi-fication from pilot up though flight instructor primarily through civil-ian flight schools mainly here in the North Texas Dallas/Fort Worth area. I attended the Cessna Pilot Center at Meacham Field in Fort Worth for my initial pilot training. From there, I went to Redbird and to Aviator at Addison Airport.”

Now he works for the postal ser-vice, but he used to fly for North-west Airlink. Robinson is a flight instructor at Addison Airport, does freelance instructing, aerial check rides, and flies air charter. He used to do aerial photography.

point from which to examine the crowd, and this crowd danced, moving to the expert touches of the five men who competed throughout the course of the evening.

Before long, night was in full swing, and the club, which was sold out before the doors opened, burst at the seams with 1200 dancing fans. Throbbing and pumping, the music spilled over the audience and welled up to the relative sanctuary of the VIP balcony where the guests and journalists sipped their drinks. It was an orgy of sound, and it was only the second con-testant – like Dante’s inferno with tall, beatific blondes.

By the time Dallas’ own DJ A1 was spinning down the competition, the music had blended into a cacoph-ony of sound and fury – the sacrament of mixing, Deus Soundtrack.

When the dust finally settled on the sonic battle-ground, DJ A1 held the third place prize of $2000, DJ Jive won the $5000 for runner up, and Austin’s DJ Donnie Dee was crowned regional champion and given $10,000 and a trip to LA for a shot at Toronto. As if this reckless display of musical abandon was not enough, DJ A-Track followed the competitors with his own set in an appropriate coup de grace for an audience with throbbing heads and bleeding ears.

Every bit as fascinating as the mechanics of the full tilt battle are Red Bull’s reasons for creating these events. Besides giving musicians an opportunity to practice their craft, expositions like Thre3style support the arts in the cities where they are held. For example,

the proceeds from the Dallas event are destined for the Deep Ellum Mural Project this upcoming summer, when the mural’s original artist will be teamed up with a younger artist to rejuvenate the paintings that are so much a part of the neighborhood’s personality.

Perhaps all the talk about Red Bull trying to ener-gize culture is a bit overdone. Maybe their parties are just a good time and excellent publicity, but hardcore art junkies – the really twisted ones – don’t usually take that as an answer.

This opinion is shared by DJ Jazzy Jeff who, since as-serting himself in the movement’s early days as half of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, has become a legend in the club music world. With all his success, however, Jazzy Jeff is still very humble when he considers what it means to be a master DJ.

“Some DJ’s think it’s their job to make themselves have a good time, but I’m actually a servant of the peo-ple,” he said quietly.

Z-Trip also placed a strong emphasis on the role of the musician as a servant.

“People are recognizing the power of a DJ. At the same time I don’t want that to go to people’s heads be-cause it’s not really about us. It’s about the crowd; it’s always been about it,” he cautioned. “When it’s so ego-centric about DJ, you’ve missed the whole point.”

After spending Oscars night writing this article, I understood why what went on in LA that night was not nearly as important is what happened in Dallas the night before, where musicians, fans and a company united to resurrect a lifestyle and mode of artistic sym-biosis that has been virtually extinct for half a millen-nium.

British Airways is taking a step back in time by hosting the ‘High-est 80s Gig in the Sky’ on March 10 for Red Nose Day – with Ba-nanarama, Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet), Kim Wilde and Go West performing.

The exclusive flight will attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the “Highest Concert”, flying up to 43,000 ft. Departing from Heathrow Terminal 5, the gig will raise money for Flying Start – Brit-ish Airways’ charity partnership with Comic Relief, in aid of Red Nose Day (March 15).

To win one of 40 pairs of tickets to be in the audience, text “Fly” to 64100. Texts are charged at £5 with all profit donated to Comic Relief. Terms and conditions and informa-tion on free entry can be found at magic.co.uk

The eighties concert harks back to the time when Comic Relief started. In keeping with the theme there will be British Airways crew

in original uniforms from the era – a dashing Roland Klein two-piece nicknamed ‘the deckchair’ for its vertical stripes and shoulder pads! Menus from the golden era will be brought back with canapés includ-ing; cocktail sausages, pineapple and cheese on skewers, mini prawn cocktails, pineapple upside down cake, gobstoppers and popping candy!

“It’s fantastic to be a part of this unique Flying Start event raising money for Red Nose Day,” Tony Hadley said. “I’ve played in some pretty unusual places, but a gig in the sky with my favorite airline is a first for me, and I’m very excited about breaking a new Guinness World Record too!”

To coincide with the launch, Tony has recorded a special video, which can be viewed at; www.you-tube.com/flybritishairways.

Bananarama, who teamed up with Dawn French, Jennifer Saun-ders and Kathy Burke to record

‘Help’ as a charity single for Red Nose Day 1989, said; “We are proud to have supported Comic Relief right from the start. Since then, the charity has helped at least 50 million people in Africa and across the world. We are delighted to be once again showing our sup-port through this exclusive 80s gig with British Airways.”

The iconic 80s girl-band whose hits include ‘Cruel Summer’, ‘Rob-ert De Niro’s Waiting’, ‘Love in the First Degree’ and ‘Venus’ will per-form in the British Airways lounge ahead of take-off, along with Go West – best known for ‘The King of Wishful Thinking’ and ‘Call Me’.

The in-flight gig hosted by Shane Richie will see Tony Hadley perform classic Spandau Ballet hits, such as ‘True’ and ‘Gold’, along-side Kim Wilde famed for ‘Kids in America’ and ‘You Keep Me Hang-ing On’ success.

“We love getting in the spirit of Red Nose Day by doing something

funny for money and expect to have a lot of fun while raising money for our Flying Start partnership,” Amita Ghai, British Airways com-munity investment, said.

In 2011, British Airways set a new Guinness World Record for the ‘Highest Stand-Up Comedy Gig’ at 35,000 ft with Dara O’Brien,

Jack Whitehall and Jon Richardson. Through its Flying Start partner-ship, British Airways has raised over £4 million for Comic Relief, to help transform the lives of vulner-able and disadvantaged children in the UK and the poorest countries around the world.

Many people today are trying to find out what their purpose is in life! God’s Word is pretty clear as to

what our purpose in life should be. Down through the years in ancient time, biblical he-roes have sought for and discovered life’s purpose.

Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, discov-ered the futility of life when it is lived only for this world. He gives these

concluding remarks in the book of Ecclesiastes: “here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” Solomon also says that life is all about honoring God with our thoughts and lives and thus keeping His commandments, for one day we will stand before Him in judgment. Part of our purpose in life is to fear God and obey Him.

Another part of our purpose is to see life on this earth in perspective. In other words, enjoy this life and re-member that from Holy Scriptures, there is a life to come. Don’t get caught up in life what other folks are doing or what they possess. Know for yourself that God also has a pur-pose in life designed just for you. A relationship with God matters above all else in life. Without that relation-ship, life has no real purpose

Our purpose in life, as God origi-nally created man is: 1) Glorify God and enjoy fellowship with Him; 2) Have good relationships with oth-ers; 3) Work, and; 4) Have dominion over the earth. But man’s fall into sin brought: broken fellowship with God, strained relationships with other, frustrating in the work arena, and man struggles to maintain any semblance of dominion over nature. Only by restoring fellowship with God, can man’s purpose in life be re-discovered. The sole purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him for-ever.

Find your purpose in life today by seeking God for guidance. “I will see you in the terminals!”

and support for all NAS equip-ment.

All of these changes will be finalized as to scope and details through collaborative discussions with FAA users and unions. The FAA will commence furloughs and start facility shut-downs in

April.As a consequence of employee

furloughs and prolonged equip-ment outages resulting from lower parts inventories and fewer technicians, travelers should ex-pect delays. Flight to major cit-ies like New York, Chicago and San Francisco could experience delays of up to 90 minutes dur-ing peak hours because of fewer controllers on staff.

These service reductions will adversely affect commercial, cor-porate and general aviation oper-ators. The FAA also expects that as airlines estimate the potential impacts of these furloughs, they will change their schedules and cancel flights.

Beyond the impacts to air traf-fic, aviation safety employees will also experience furloughs that will affect airlines, aviation man-

ufacturers and individual pilots who need FAA safety approv-als and certifications. While the agency will continue to address safety risks that could impact op-erations of the national airspace system, a slowed certification and approval process due to furloughs could negatively affect passengers and all segments of the aviation industry.
