I hadn’t seen Jerry Kemp in a while, but an email from him recently brought a flood of memories and a delightful (in retrospect) reminiscence about this hero and friend, an FAA safety meeting and a place called Bristol Village in rural southeastern Ohio.
Unusual Attitudes: Shaking Things Up at Bristol Village
Key Takeaways:
- The author, an FAA safety program manager, recounts the freedom and satisfaction of their role, often organizing seminars with external speakers.
- One such seminar, featuring Lt. Col. Jerry Kemp presenting military air training videos, was held at a retirement community for local ultralight pilots but unexpectedly drew a large audience of residents.
- These residents, frustrated by noise from low-flying military aircraft in their community's operational area, reacted angrily to the videos, misinterpreting the event as an opportunity to voice their grievances.
