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 recounts his experience as an autonomous FAA safety program manager, frequently organizing aviation safety seminars to engage pilots.
- He arranged for Lt. Col. Jerry Kemp to present military aviation videos, including "The Sound of Freedom," to the Pike County Flyers at Bristol Village, a retirement community.
- The seminar unexpectedly drew a large, agitated audience of non-pilot residents who used the event to protest the noise from military aircraft in the nearby operating area, leading to a tense and misunderstood conclusion for the speakers.
