Chairman’s At the last board meeting, held at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, I got a little grief for not having anything about COMMENTS C-130s in the last edition of A/TQ (although the T&E story did mention the importance of the C-130 in the deployability of the Army’s Stryker IAVs Greetings to all of the Airlift and Tanker people out there and and showed a couple of C-130 tails). to all of those who support these fine people who have as usual The good humored ribbing (BBQ pun performed superbly, with initiative, imagination and courage. Also intended) I received was understandable as usual, much of what they have done in the last three months will being that Little Rock is arguably the never be told, as it should be – remember, being taken for granted is capitol of C-130 country. the greatest of compliments for real professionals. I mention this up front, because there I just have to tell you a story – an experience I remember that isn’t much about the C-130 in this carries with it much about just why our nation’s great Mobility force edition either (although there is one always outperforms expectations: on the cover!) – because this edition is The CINC invited me to accompany Brig.

In the days ahead, as stories about It is easy to get excited about a brand spanking new airplane, and I did, but I have to tell you the amazing things accomplished in I also really got excited about visiting the people who build it and listening to them tell the Operation Iraqi Freedom begin to be stories of how they are manufacturing it better, safer and cheaper then we ever imagined. I was told, we will no doubt learn a lot more in Long Beach and helped dedicate the building that houses the production of this remarkable about the incredible abilities of enlisted airplane. It is nothing like my memory of my last visit, nothing at all. The men and women personnel. America is lucky to have of Boeing at Long Beach have transformed a particularly complex process at every turn, and such fine men and women serving in they have done it with tenacity and dedication that must not go unnoticed. It is an amazing this time of world turmoil and unseen feat to attack the entire manufacturing process of something this big and apply technology threats. Thank you! and ingenuity that removes entire steps from this process and makes every other step more As for there being stories about C-130s efficient and safer. The feeling I got from the dozens of people I talked to was always the same… in future editions of A/TQ there is no ‘We are very proud of what we have done to the manufacturing process and we intend to do doubt. Operation Iraqi Freedom is sure lots more to make it even better.’ If you want to see how attitude can change a program, go to produce a few C-130 stories – and, to Long Beach. Mr. Howard Chambers, The Boeing Executive responsible for this program, C-17 stories; KC-10 stories; KC-135 and for this attitude, lets this team of people have lots of latitude in their individual jobs and stories; C-141 stories; C-5 stories; stories simply sets the standards of performance and safety.

    1941 - 1945 George Northsea: The War Years by Steven Northsea April 28, 2015 George Northsea - The War Years 1941-42 George is listed in the 1941 East High Yearbook as Class of 1941 and his picture and the "senior" comments about him are below: We do know that he was living with his parents at 1223 15th Ave in Rockford, Illinois in 1941. The Rockford, Illinois city directory for 1941 lists him there and his occupation as a laborer. The Rockford City Directory of 1942 lists George at the same address and his occupation is now "Electrician." George says in a journal written in 1990, "I completed high school in January of 1942 (actually 1941), but graduation ceremony wasn't until June. In the meantime I went to Los Angeles, California. I tried a couple of times getting a job as I was only 17 years old. I finally went to work for Van De Camp restaurant and drive-in as a bus boy. 6 days a week, $20.00 a week and two meals a day. The waitresses pitched in each week from their tips for the bus boys. That was another 3 or 4 dollars a week. I was fortunate to find a garage apartment a few blocks from work - $3 a week. I spent about $1.00 on laundry and $2.00 on cigarettes. I saved money." (italics mine) "The first part of May, I quit my job to go back to Rockford (Illinois) for graduation. I hitch hiked 2000 miles in 4 days. I arrived at my family's house at 4:00 AM one morning.

  • Aerial Composite Employment Wings in Joint All-Domain Operations
    PERSPECTIVES ON JADO Aerial Composite Employment Wings in Joint All-Domain Operations CAPT KYLE RASMUSSEN, USAF ince the Gulf War, the United States has seen itself as the world’s sole su- perpower—militarily, economically, and diplomatically. Political pressures at home and the Global War on Terror, however, have stagnated the devel- Sopment and training of the US military to execute major contested operations. During this time, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has used the military atrophy of the US to its advantage, developing massive arsenals of anti-access/ area-denial (A2/AD) weapons comprised of advanced surface-to-air missiles and surface-to-surface missiles. Additionally, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has achieved major mile- stones in cyber warfare, antisatellite capabilities, and nuclear delivery platforms that present significant challenges to the United States on the high seas, in the air, in space, and in cyberspace.1 These advancements pose existential dangers to the current paradigm that the US Air Force uses to fight. The current system consists of air operation centers (AOCs) that provide air tasking orders and higher-eche- lon intelligence down to air expeditionary wings (AEWs). These wings are com- prised of squadrons not normally stationed together, and they do not make major operational military decisions but rely on air tasking orders from the AOCs. This system is heavily reliant upon a center of command that requires uncontested dominance in communication, space, and cyberspace while giving AEWs little operational and command autonomy. The United States is not historically unfamiliar with conflict in the Indo-Pacific theater, but the geography of the region requires a strong logistics and communi- cation network to sustain modern combat operations.

  • The F-16S of the 31St Fighter Wing at Aviano AB, Italy, Are Key to NATO's
    Out From Italy The F-16s of the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano AB, Italy, are key to NATO’s southern tier defenses and US forward deployed airpower. 74 AIR FORCE Magazine / September 2014 Out From ItalyPhotography by Jim Haseltine Text by Otto Kreisher, Senior Correspondent viano Air Base sits at the foot of the Dolomite mountains on the southern edge of the snow-capped Alps in northern AItaly. But the F-16s of the Aviano-based 31st Fighter Wing frequently have been in much less scenic and serene lo- cations, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, and recently, Libya. As the only Air Force fi ghter wing south of the Alps, the 31st FW is a critical part of NATO’s combat capabilities in the alliance’s southern region. The location also gives the wing’s two F-16 units, the 510th Fighter Squadron and the 555th Fighter Squadron, a head start on deployments to US operational and combat missions far removed from Aviano. Here, three F-16C Block 40s from the 555th FS, the “Triple Nickel,” maneuver over the Dolomites on a training mission.
