To Ground Civil Aircraft October 14
All commercial and private air
craft throughout Alaska and the
rest of the United States and Can
ada will be grounded for 12 hours
October 14, Federal Aviation
Agency officials reminded the fly
ing public today.
Suspension of all civil flying ac
tivity for the 12-hour period is to
clear the skies for “Sky Shield II,”
an exercise of the North American
Air Defense Command (NORAD)
to test the nation’s defense. Last
year a similar NORAD exercise,
“Sky Shield I” was conducted for
a six-hour period September 9-10.
The exercise will start at 1 p. m.,
Eastern Daylight Time, October 14,
and end at 1 a. m., EDT, October
15. The 12-hour period in Alaska
will be Saturday, October 14 from
7 a. m., to 7 p. m., Alaskan Stand
ard Time; 9 a. m., until 9 p. m., Pa
cific Standard Time; 8 a. m., until
8 p. m., Yukon Standard Time; and
6 a. m., until 6 p. m., Bering Stand
ard Time.
All of the U. S. scheduled do
mestic and international air car
rier fleet, approximately 1,800 air
craft, will remain on the ground
during the period. About 125,000
air passengers will be grounded
as well as more than 70,000 general
aviation aircraft. The exercise will
also ground the U. S. operation of
all foreign air carriers during the
12-hour period.
Exercise requirements call for
complete freedom of movement at
all altitudes, in both descending
and ascending patterns, by United
States and Canadian military air
craft, in addition to a small num
ber of British bombers. Also ex
tensive radar and communications
jamming efforts will be made by
bombers simulating attacking
forces against air defense facilities,
FAA air traffic control radar, and
other electronic guidance equip
ment.
The PNA plane from Anchorage
will arrive here at 9:35 p. m. on
that date, and will depart Kodiak
at 10:00 p. m., according to local
agent, Ray Martin.
The downtown office will be
closed all day, Oct. 14, opening at
6 p. m. and closing at 11 p. m., ac
cording to Martin.
Mirror classifieds bring results.
