Title: Celebrities in CAP?
Post by: JCW0312 on December 09, 2007, 01:52:43 AM
Does anyone know if there are any celebrity members or former members of CAP? Even if just patron members.

I know it takes a good deal of time to invest into CAP to be a regular member, but I've read a few times about celebrities that are ham radio operators (Walter Cronkite, Joe Walsh, and some others) and it just got me wondering.

Of those that I know who are - or were - CAP members:

Jerry Lewis
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) - NHQ Congressional Squadron commander

There may be others but I don't know off hand.

The late Trudy Cooper (ex-wife of Mercury 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper) was a member of CAP in the Houston area. She was "on the books" into the 1990's as I recall.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a CAP member.

Wasn't Dan Quayle?

And a governor, or former governor.  PA was it?

Here's a famous pic of Oswald...

One of the surviving "Munchkins" from the Movie Wizard of Oz was a WW2 member.

I believe it was the guy who played the coroner.

We here in Ks have these ties that bind with that movie.

There's a Wizard of Oz museum in Wamego, about 40 miles away. Every once in awhile they bring in the surviving WoOz characters, which happen to all be Munchkins. Meinhart is the youngest of the group, only being 17 or so at the time of the filming.

Last time he was here the State of Kansas actually certified him as a legal Coroner in the state so the Wicked Witch's death certificate would be legal. Sheesh.

Capt. Ingraham!  How are you?! 

Yep!  Still here, and still serving CAP as best I can.  I moved back out to Hollywood to pursue my work further, and miss being "deep" in with my unit.  I'm still assisting MOWG PAO remotely, and always keep up on my e-mails on the PAO lists.

I might add that, I am in no way a celebrity, just a broke actor/comedian who often utilizes his talents in otehr ways (such as PA for CAP).  I'm probably due for a few recruiting ribbons, but never kept track of all the people I send CAP's way (such as people that recognize me on long flights from LGA to LAX, like tonight when I told a recent retiree about CAP).

I have to agree with Ned.  All we have to do is look at Tiger Woods and see the fallout from a previous "squeaky-clean" (the type we would want to represent CAP & The Core Values) to a "social outcast."  We all have our flaws, we all have things that we would not like to be made public - but we don't have media hounding us every step of the way looking for our flaws, unlike the celebs. 

Everyone was talking about Travolta.  In the days immediately following his son's death, the media was speculating that his son had died during a Scientology ritual.  It was later proven false, but for a while, Travolta was a negative.  He also stared in Pulp Fiction.  Granted, it was a movie, but if he had been a CAP member at the time, how would we have been affected?  I personally think that Travolta would be an excellent spokesman.  But what if?  And, how well does anyone know celebs anyway?  Again, I go back to Tiger.

That's the problem with celebs - they have the power to do great things for an organization, but they also have the power to do great harm.

PS. This has given me an idea for a new thread.

While it's great for recruiting to say that a celebrity is/was a member, if that person does something less than satisfactory outside of CAP, all of the sudden we hae a Lee Harvey Oswald situation, in a way at least.

I don't think Harrison Ford is actually a member, but he'd make a good one.

He's qualified on both fixed-wing and helicopters, and I read a story a few years ago about how he flew an injured Boy Scout in Wyoming (where he lives) to hospital.

I doubt he'd lend his celebrity status to CAP; he's a very private person by most accounts though pretty nice one-on-one.

Another good one would be Michael Dorn (Lieutenant Commander Worf from Star Trek).  Among others, he owns a T-33 and F-86 and has flight time in both F-15's and F-16's (VIP guest at various AFB's).  I've met him and he's a nice guy.

I've read several stories about Lee Harvey Oswald in CAP, most of them ending with him being kicked out.  He was also kicked out of the Marines and once tried to become a Soviet citizen.

Another one, except for the fact that he's British (OK, Air Training Corps then), would be Bruce Dickinson, lead singer for heavy metal band Iron Maiden.  He flies part-time for British Airways, flies his band on tours and had something to do with flying RAF personnel either into or out of Afghanistan.

Here's a partial list of Harrison Ford Movies that have transportation accidents/incidences as plot devices. If Harrison wants to join CAP, he'll need his own personal full time Safety Officer. As Mr. Ford spends most of his free time near Jackson Hole, likely he'd join the Wyoming Wing... so I am close enough to help. That would be a fun gig. Somebody tell Col Skrabut, I am available to help.
K-19 Widow Maker, Air Force One, Devils Own, Six Days Seven Nights, What Lies Beneath, Clear and Present Danger, The Fugitive, Star Wars 4,5,6, Indiana Jones 1,2,3, Patriot Games, Mosquito Coast, Apocalypse Now, American Graffiti, Force 10 from Navarone, and a bunch of TV appearances.

Harrison Ford:   
PRIVATE PILOT
          AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND
          AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE SEA
          AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND
          INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE
          ROTORCRAFT-HELICOPTER

I would have expected he would have Commercial/ Instrument CFI everything.

While en route to Alabama with a CAP AC I stopped in Springfield, MO for fuel.  I went into the small FBO and noticed a familiar face in the back of the FBO talking to some people.  He walked towards me to get to his AC and I shook his hand and had a short conversation.  He was very cordial and friendly.  It was NASCAR driver Carl Edwards.  I then went to the flight planning room to plan my next leg and he walked by and stuck his head in and asked if I were flying the CAP aircraft.  He said that he was a cadet in CAP and told me what a great organization we had.  He had just got married the day before and he and his new bride were flying to Florida in the jet that he piloted.  There was a lot of weather ahead of me and he told me how easy the jets were to fly as weather was seldom a factor as it is in a small AC.  I was very impressed with how friendly he was.

I've read several stories about Lee Harvey Oswald in CAP, most of them ending with him being kicked out.  He was also kicked out of the Marines and once tried to become a Soviet citizen.

IIRC Oswald probably let his CAP cadet membership lapse. Other than the (in)famous photos in CAP uniform, there probably isn't much official documentation extant of Oswald's cadet career. He did his time satisfactorily in the Marines, and did renounce his American citizenship, though I believe he managed to get it back after his stint in Rooshia - the commies didn't want the despicable [bastidge] either - but put up with his antics in that socialist worker's paradise for about a year before he went back home.

Regarding Harrison Ford, I spoke to General Amy at National Convention in 2008 and half-jokingly, half-seriously asked if he could be named an honorary member. She said they may be considering it...

In regards to the JFK assassination, there is a different connection. A guy named Penn Jones who wrote several books on the JFK assassination stated that he was one of the founding members of CAP, and I'm curious if this is so.

Finally, my early PAO mentor was a CAP Lieutenant Colonel named Ed Crankshaw, who served with CAP for over 50 years total, much of it out in California. He was an actor in some minor roles, including some commercials. (He got in trouble when he played a Cable Car operator in an old Hardee's commercial. Wilfred Brimley thought he looked and sounded too much like him and harmed his Quaker Oatmeal image...)

OK now you guys have lowered the bar for celebrity qualifications down to my level.

I've acted as a part time gig for 30 years and have about 30 movie and network TV credits. Plus I have thousands of Voice Credits and a bunch of writing credits.
I even made TV guide a couple of times. (In the day - that was a big deal for an actor) AND, I've got some regional Emmys too. That said, I've always been a working guy and never a celebrity. OK I've signed maybe 10 autographs in my life, but that's it.

Not that a commercial is required for anything he does, but if I had all the money in the world I would be an ATP/CFI everything just because.  Of course, I imagine hes a busy guy.

I've also heard that the Texas Wing commander and future Chairman of the National Board BG Byrd was the owner of the Texas Book Depositry when Oswald got his job there.

I've met her (Marina Sirtis).  She's gorgeous, and quite a fun person.

Also...she became a naturalized US citizen a couple of years ago, so she'd satisfy any citizenship requirements.

Lieutenant (which she would probably reflexively pronounce lef-tenant; I've seen bloopers of William Shatner doing so) Sirtis, your position awaits...

Seriously, though, Michael Dorn would be a more likely prospect.  The guy is an aviator to the core.

D'k'tagh knife authorized for ceremonial occasions; also, fresh gagh (served live) at Wing awards banquets.

As some of you may remember, CAP sponsored a Busch series car a few years ago piloted by one Ashton Lewis. Obviously it didn't pay great dividends, and in fact seemed to launch more questions into where the money came from. But if we got some PSAs and some goodwill from Mr. Edwards, that'd be tremendous.

Freddie Prinze Jr. was a CAP cadet? Hmmm. Wonder if he could be enticed back in? Even if he helped cover up a crime last week on "24"....

I have quite a few credits myself -- regional stage work, though.  I am appearing in a student film this spring, but not too many people are going to see it.

But I also appear on television five nights a week in the west Georgia area ... I'm a news anchorman.  I guess that makes me at least a *local* celebrity.

Not to be mean or anything, but if you have to explain why you're famous, you're probably not a celebrity to the general public.  You could be well known in your circle but not to the rest of us National Enquirer/People/TMZ readers and viewers.  Celebrities are famous because they are famous.  See Paris Hilton and the Bruce Dickinson.

So, Cliff Robertson, yes, CAP celebrity.  During his day, he was big and well known.  Sen. Tom Harkin, probably a CAP celebrity, as a US Senator he's well known but not Hollywood well known.  But I'd say he makes the cut.

So, back to the original question: What celebrities, past or present, are/were members of CAP?

I was not saying I am a celebrity, just stating cool things I think I have done.  I am sorry.  BTW.... all my previous work was just a job.  I do not go around and say "oh when I was an extra in this movie, Tom Hanks and I ate at the same bar.  So really....I was stating how lame I am. 

I hate the idea of celebrity to begin with.  Our society is too focused on fake people they see on screens, hear on radio and watch play games (why does a person make 50 million for playing a game?? (sports))

Instead I wish our focus was on those Americans that have changed the world, improved our lives and contributed to the advancement of the human race. 

Plus we are all celebrities like said above!  We all won the greatest challenge we could have ever faced, and beat out a million others trying to win it too.  LIFE.  1 Sperm, 1 Egg.  Crazy if you actually think about what had to happen for us to even be here. 

Anyway, we are all equal when we lay dying in the end.  Celebrity may get you more money and a comfortable life, but everyone succumbs to death, and no amount of money or fame can change that.
