  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.

  • Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007
    Florida Department of Transportation Analysis of Scheduled Commercial Air Service in Florida Update 2007 ANALYSIS OF SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE IN FLORIDA This report provides an updated overview of Florida’s scheduled commercial airline service. The original overview was based on conditions that characterized Florida’s commercial air service airports in the summer of 2000. Subsequently, an update to the original study was prepared to contrast and compare commercial airline service at Florida airports in the summer of 2000 and the summer of 2001. A supplemental update was made after September 11, 2001 to reflect changes to Florida’s commercial airline service following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC. That supplement noted changes in air service at Florida’s airports between the summer and the late fall of 2001. An additional update was prepared in the summer of 2003 to address any further changes in Florida’s air service in the two years after September 11. This report compares airline service for the 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 timeframes and notes service changes that have occurred since the summer of 2005. With data from the prior studies and new information presented in this report, the Florida Department of Transportation can benchmark changes in the State’s commercial airline service. Data presented in this report is for various reporting periods as follows: • Passenger O&D travel patterns for each market and information on average one-way fares are for calendar year 2006; this information was obtained from the USDOT. • Data on service provided to and from each airport as of July 2007 was obtained from the Official Airline Guide (OAG).
