MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. -- Thousands of spectators young and old showed their mettle Oct. 15 at day two of the 2005 Miramar Air Show to get a glimpse into past, present and future military and civilian aviation at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.

On this crisp but clear morning, civilian and military performers treated visitors to spectacular displays of high performance flying and aerobatics.

In addition to regular marquis attractions like the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and displays like the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Demonstration unique to the Miramar Air Show, guests were treated to precision passes by state-of-the-art aircraft like the U.S. Air Force's F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter and the F-22 Raptor fighter.

Additionally, air show patrons were shaken in their seats by the awesome raw power of the U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer, the only supersonic bomber in the U.S. military arsenal.

As the temperature continued to drop, the "Great Wall of Fire" heated things up and lit up the flight line in a spectacular display of pyrotechnic perfection. The 50th anniversary commemoration of the Miramar Air Show will conclude Oct. 16.

POLICY

The most important starting point for an EMS* is the development of an environmental policy. ISO14001 requires local governments to implement their own environmental policy. The environmental policy acts as a basis for the environmental management system.

PLANNING

ISO14001 requires that an environmental management system is planned properly. It requires the organization to consider the following carefully: Environmental Aspects; Legal and Other Aspects; Objectives and Targets; and an Environmental Management Program.

IMPLEMENTATION

The two requirements for implementation of an EMS is to define, document, and communicate roles, responsibilities and authorities, and to allocate the resources needed to implement and control the EMS.

CHECKING

The key requirement in this EMS step is to regularly monitor and measure key characteristics of activities and operations that could have a significant impact on the environment. Changes to EMS procedures may become necessary in order to deal with nonconformances with the EMS, with mitigating environmental impacts, or corrective and preventive action.

REVIEW

The management review process ensure that information is collected to enable management to carry out proper review. Top management review the need for changes to policy, objectives and targets, and ensure that a commitment to continual improvement is being demonstrated.
