When a friend invited former U.S. Navy journalist Ken Wayne to
join Civil Air Patrol's Amelia Earhardt Senior Squadron 188 in Oakland,
California, in the fall of 2015, Wayne was intrigued.
“I didn’t know much about CAP, but he told me I’d get to fly a 182 with a slick G1000 in it, and that was appealing,” said Wayne, a longtime reporter and anchor for KTVU-TV, the Fox affiliate in San Francisco. “I also missed the camaraderie of the military and service aspect, so it felt natural to be back in a military-style setting.
“I’m still in my early stages of training (as a CAP public affairs officer) and have a long way to go but hope to contribute as much as I can.”
The CAP second lieutenant brings to the table a love of flying, a six-year military background and some 40 years of journalism and broadcasting experience.
A native of Marin in the north San Francisco Bay area, Wayne followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the U.S. Navy out of high school. “I liked to write, and when I heard they had a journalism program I was hooked,” he said.
