Primary Responsibilities Research and Writing Currently at work on "The Struggle for the Long-Range Heavy Bomber: The United States Army air Corps, 1934-1939. This book examines the fight between the Army Air Corps, the Army, and the Navy over the introduction of a new generation of long-range heavy bombers during the interwar period. Questions of cost, of departmental responsibility, and of the relationship between business and industry, all play key roles in the search for this elusive aircraft and ultimately which military branch controls the air. Underlying all of these issues is the question of whether or not the United States needs a separate, independent air force. Also researching a book on the creation of Transcontinental & Western Air (TWA). This business history will trace the story of this important airline from its creation in 1930 from the ambitious but unprofitable Transcontinental Air Transport, formed by Clement Keys with technical assistance from Charles Lindbergh, and parts for the successful Western Air Express of Harris Hanshue through World War II and its reorganization as Trans World Airlines under Howard Hughes.

  • Five Years. After They Separated, They Engaged in Four Years of Litigation Over the Distribution of Approximately $200,000 of Property
    I IL_EC COURT OF APPEALq D1V1S10'i4, TI 201 L; MAR 1 1 AN S: 40 S ` E IFF M 1-i3N ON Y ON 1'' Y IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTO DIVISION II In re the Marriage of: No. 43788 -1 - II JEANNE MARIE HARRIS, Appellant, MA ROGER DUANE KELL, UNPUBLISHED OPINION LEE, J. — Jeanne Marie Harris and Roger Duane Kell were married for approximately five years. After they separated, they engaged in four years of litigation over the distribution of approximately $200,000 of property. The trial court primarily awarded the parties their separate property and entered a judgment distributing less than $ 50, 000 in additional assets between the parties. Harris appeals. We affirm the trial court. In addition, due to the intransigent nature of Harris' s appeal, we grant Kell' s request for attorney fees. FACTS Harris and Kell married on May 3, 2003. Kell was an electrician working out of the union hall. He also owned several rental properties. Harris was a Vancouver city councilwoman and she owned a consulting business. After the parties married, they lived together in Harris' s home. No. 43788 -1 - II During the marriage, Kell worked as an electrician for several companies including Kraft and Boeing. Harris ran for county commissioner, but lost. Later she opened an Allstate Insurance agency. Although both parties contributed to household expenses ( Harris paid the mortgage and Kell paid for utilities), they primarily kept their finances separate. During this period, Harris was incurring large amounts of credit card debt. Harris and Kell separated on May 31, 2008.

Box 3707 MC 21-70 Seattle, Washington 98124-2207 www.boeing.com The Boeing Next-Generation 737 Family – Productive, Progressive, Flexible, Familiar The members of the Next-Generation 737 family -- the 737-600/-700/-800/- 900ER models -- continue the 737’s popularity and reliability in commercial jetliner transport. The Next-Generation family has won orders for more than 6,500 airplanes, while the combined 737 family has surpassed 11,200 orders. Boeing has delivered more than 7,700 737s (of those more than 4,600 are Next-Generation 737s) through September 2013. The 737 program broke the record for orders for any Boeing model in a single year, accumulating 1,124 net orders in 2012. The 737 MAX – which brings the best of future engine technologies to the record-selling 737 – accounted for 914 of those orders in 2012. In addition, the Next-Generation 737 set a new single-year record with 415 deliveries to customers worldwide. The 737 program also celebrated its 10,000th order in 2012. Two airplane models delivered in 2007 Two Next-Generation 737s were certified and entered service in 2007. The 737-900ER (Extended Range) was launched July 18, 2005, with an order for 30 airplanes from Indonesian carrier Lion Air. The airplane was certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on April 20, 2007, and validated by the Indonesian regulatory agency April 26. Lion Air received its first 737-900ER on April 27, 2007. Certification by the European Aviation Safety Agency followed on April 22, 2008.

Furthermore, it gives a detailed description of the far-field methods developed in the Applied Aerodynamics Department. Concerning the DPW4 configuration, a grid convergence study and a downwash study are proposed. Then, the effects due to Mach and Reynolds numbers variations are quantified. All the multiblock structured grids used in this work have been provided by Boeing to the DPW community.

  • Boeing AMSS System License Compliance Report -- Reflector Antenna AES Update
    Boeing AMSS System License Compliance Report -- Reflector Antenna AES Update This Update to Boeing’s prior License Compliance Report1 is submitted pursuant to Special Condition 5948 of earth station authorization Call Sign E000723, and verifies that operation of Boeing’s reflector antenna aircraft earth station (AES) with its licensed Aeronautical Mobile-Satellite Service (AMSS) system complies with the conditions of Boeing’s AMSS licensing order and the specific design guidelines set forth in ordering clause ¶19(h)(1)-(5).2 These design guidelines derive from work conducted in ITU-R working party 4A that was later incorporated into ITU-R Recommendation M.1643, and are designed to protect Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) operations from harmful interference from AES transmissions in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band. Section 1 of this Update covers control and monitoring functions (¶19(h)(3)-(4)). Section 2 covers the control of aggregate off-axis EIRP (¶19(h)(1)). Section 3 covers factors that affect off-axis EIRP (¶19(h)(5.1)-(5.3)) including mis-pointing of AES antennas in Section 3.1, variations in AES antenna pattern in Section 3.2, and variations in AES transmit EIRP in Section 3.3. Resistance to being “pulled off” to adjacent satellites (¶19(h)(2)) is also covered in Section 3.1. The data presented in this Update shows that operation of Boeing’s reflector antenna AES complies with significant margin to all conditions of the licensing order. 1 Control and Monitoring Functions The addition of the reflector antenna to Boeing’s AMSS system does not affect the control and monitoring functions that are included in the Boeing system to ensure that AES transmissions always remain under positive control, and to identify and shut down any malfunctioning AES, as described in Boeing’s AMSS license application3 and License Compliance Report.4 The Boeing system will continue to be controlled by a network control and monitoring facility (NCMC) (¶19(h)(3)), which is referred to in this Update as the network operations center (NOC).
