Chris Vadnais, Air Force Print News 7/18/2006 - HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFPN) — Seven F-15 Eagle fighter jets assigned to the Hawaii Air National Guard fired AIM-7 Sparrow mis- siles at drones dropped from a Navy F-18 July 16. Pi- lots fired the missiles in the Pacific Missile Range Fa- cility off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, as part of the 2006 Rim of the Pacific Exercise, known as RIMPAC. RIMPAC brought friendly forces from the Pacific the- ater and the United Kingdom together to engage in air and sea war games. The opportunity to fire live ord- nance in Hawaii does not come often. Crews usually travel to Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., for firing prac- tice. Even then the missiles they use are loaded with telemetry equipment rather than live ordnance. photo by Tech. Sgt.

UNCLASSIFIED !1fKaro I 01t;i~ Commission Sensitive MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Event: Interviews at Otis Air National Guard Base (Otis ANGB) ® Type of event: Interview with Brigadier General Donald J. Quenneville Date: January 7, 2004 Special Access Issues: None Prepared by: Geoffrey Brown Team Number: 8 Location: 1020d Fighter Wing, Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts Air National Guard Participants - Non-Commission: Andrew Huddleston (Dep Ch, Plans, Integration & Transformation Div, AF/XOHP, 703 696-0024, Fax: 703 588-0636) Participants - Commission: John Fanner, John Azzarello, Geoffrey Brown Background: Quenneville has been in the military for 33 years. Eight years of which was active duty. He came to the 1020d Fighter Wing in 1978, and last year became the commander of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Please see the attached biography for further details. Alert Site Mission: Quenneville recalled that in 1972 NORAD's Air Defense mission included fifteen or sixteen alert sites. Between 1972 and 2001 the number of sites declined due to the perception of the Cold War threat. Most of those bases were at the maritime borders in 2001, as opposed to the northern alert sites that were active in the Cold War, and meant to respond to an attack from over the North Pole and Canadian airspace. Quenneville explained that the alert site mission was relatively constant through its changes. He noted that the mission at Otis ANGB was mostly focused on responding to Russian Bear (a type of aircraft with the capacity to carry air-to-surface missiles) activity. When the Russians developed the Bear H model- that has the capability of launching a cruise missile - Otis had a high priority on shadowing those aircraft; but as the Russian defense capability declined with the worsening of the Russian economy, the number of alert sites declined. -

(H.C.R.276) Offered by: All Members of the House Offered by: All Members of the Senate Whereas, as long ago as World War I, the Vermont National Guard included aviation units, and this remained true through World War II, and Whereas, however, as World War II was concluding, the prospect of a National Guard aviation presence at the Burlington Airport was uncertain, and Whereas, on May 28, 1946, the Burlington Board of Alderman voted to deed to the State of Vermont the needed land for the construction of two hangars and the rights of way to use the runways, and Whereas, on July 1, 1946, the U.S. Army Air Force announced the establishment of the Vermont Air National Guard (VTANG), and Whereas, the VTANG’s first commanding officer was Lt. Colonel William Bowden, and the original contingent of veteran World War II pilots numbered 25, and Whereas, on August 14, 1946, the U.S. Army Air Force designated the VTANG as the 134th Fighter Squadron, and the VTANG’s dual mission included assisting in State disasters and emergencies and supporting federal aviation defense efforts, and Whereas, the U.S. Army Air Force sent AT-6 and L-5 trainers, and a C-47 “Gooney bird” transport plane, but a fleet of far superior Thunderbolt aircraft arrived soon thereafter as replacements for the original airplanes, and Whereas, in 1948, the Burlington electorate approved a $150,000.00 bond as the city’s contribution towards airport improvements, -
