It is a great honor to serve as your command chief. At the end of each year, I take time to re- flect on all Air Mobility Command accomplishments over the year – and this command never ceases to amaze me! This year is no different. AMC enjoyed an extremely successful year be- cause of our Mobility Airmen. With that, I offer you and your families my sincerest thanks. Because of your unwavering commitment to the mission and the support and sacrifices your families make, we are able to generate Rapid Global Mobility for America. As this year comes to a close, I’m especially reflective because this may be my last holiday season on active duty. While I may start to tear up a bit at that thought, I can’t help but smile, not a little smile, but a big toothy one – like a kid opening up the presents they’ve asked for all year kind of grin. I smile because of our amazing Airmen. And with 33 years in the Air Force – 30 on active duty – I have met a lot of Airmen.

I do all of the necessary servicing and maintenance of my air- craft until a problem comes up that requires a specialist.” With aircraft at MacDill flying every day, do- ing training and real-world missions, the Airmen maintaining them realize the amount of atten- tion to detail they need when it comes to inspec- tions is paramount. Crew chiefs perform a variety of inspections for each aircraft based on how often the aircraft is scheduled to fly. “We do pre-flight inspections every 72 hours, which tell us that the aircraft is good to fly for at least 72 hours from the time the inspection was completed,” said Holbert. “We also do through- 7OV[VI`:LUPVY(PYTHU9P[V:TP[O flight inspections, which are done every time the <:(PY-VYJL:LUPVY(PYTHU(\Z[PU/VSILY[HJYL^JOPLMHZZPNULK[V[OL[O(PYJYHM[4HPU[LUHUJL :X\HKYVUSVVRZV]LYWHWLY^VYRILMVYLPUZWLJ[PUNH2*:[YH[V[HURLYHPYJYHM[H[4HJ+PSS(PY 6HH CHIEFS, Page 15 -VYJL)HZL+LJ(ZHJYL^JOPLM/VSILY[WLYMVYTZPUZWLJ[PVUZ[VLUZ\YLHPYJYHM[HYLZHML[VMS` 4HJ+PSS(-)»Z2)TV]LZ[V(PY4VIPSP[`*VTTHUK4\ZL\T I`9PJOHYK4HSSVY`(SSU\[[ 8BSCJSEOFXTDPN The rare Boeing KB-50J Superfortress cur- rently on display within the Memorial Air Park at MacDill Air Force Base near Tampa, Florida, will soon be moving a thousand miles north to the Air Mobility Command Museum in Dover, Delaware.

  • 6 Steps to a Radio-Ready Song by Graham Cochrane
    RecordingRevolution.com 6 Steps To A Radio-Ready Song by Graham Cochrane Thank you for downloading this guide! As a singer/songwriter myself, I know the goal of every musician in the home studio is to start creating killer songs - songs that sound so good they could be played on the radio, TV, or just about anywhere. You probably have great song ideas already but simply aren’t able to get your recordings to translate from your head to the real world and sound professional. I’m here to help you with that. In this brief guide I’m going to walk you through the 6 steps that every radio-ready song must go through in order to sound its best. Even if your music will never be heard on the radio, you still want it to sound good enough to hang with “the big boys and girls”. My promise to you is that after reading this guide, you’ll know exactly what it takes to get the best sounding recordings in your home studio and you’ll be motivated to get back to work and start creating your best music yet. Ready to get started? Let’s dive in Graham Cochrane (Founder, RecordingRevolution.com) RecordingRevolution.com STEP 1: Lyrics & Melody The best recordings in the world start long before the recording phase. They begin with great lyrics and killer melodies. The best vocal microphone in the world is useless if the song you’re singing has a boring or hard to remember melody, cumbersome lyrics, and overall bad flow.

Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Fifty Years on Nato's Southern Flank
    FIFTY YEARS ON NATO’S SOUTHERN FLANK A HISTORY OF SIXTEENTH AIR FORCE 1954 – 2004 By WILLIAM M. BUTLER Sixteenth Air Force Historian Office of History Headquarters, Sixteenth Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe Aviano Air Base, Italy 1 May 2004 ii FOREWORD The past fifty years have seen tremendous changes in the world and in our Air Force. Since its inception as the Joint U.S Military Group, Air Administration (Spain) responsible for the establishment of a forward presence for strategic and tactical forces, Sixteenth Air Force has stood guard on the southern flank of our NATO partners ensuring final success in the Cold War and fostering the ability to deploy expeditionary forces to crises around our theater. This history then is dedicated to all of the men and women who met the challenges of the past 50 years and continue to meet each new challenge with energy, courage, and devoted service to the nation. GLEN W. MOORHEAD III Lieutenant General, USAF Commander iii PREFACE A similar commemorative history of Sixteenth Air Force was last published in 1989 with the title On NATO’s Southern Flank by previous Sixteenth Air Force Historian, Dr. Robert L. Swetzer. This 50th Anniversary edition contains much of the same structure of the earlier history, but the narrative has been edited, revised, and expanded to encompass events from the end of the Cold War to the emergence of today’s Global War on Terrorism. However, certain sections in the earlier edition dealing with each of the countries in the theater and minor bases have been omitted.
