He joined The Boeing Co. in 1946 as an engineer for the B-29 modified aerial-refueling tanker which later became the KB-29. Having been part of the test team for the original KB-29 he was the perfect person to demonstrate and test the flying boom concept. Since he was the first person to make contact with the boom, he became the world’s first boom operator. His contributions to the Boom Operator community will never be fully realized. It was only fitting that on Sept. 25, 2015, Mr. Taylor was at Paine Field to watch the first flight of the newest tanker, the KC-46. Dick Taylor passed away nine days later at the age of 93. 2015 Prep for Contact Welcome to the 36th edition. Thanks to the overwhelming support from Boom Operator leadership who understand the importance of our traditions and heritage, The Boom Signal is alive and well! This has been one of the most successful years as far as participation to the Boom Signal, thank you for your inputs! This has been an amazing year for the tanker community, especially for the KC-46 program. On December 28, 2014 the 767-2C (tail # 11-46001) first flew from Paine Field in Everett WA. The “-2C” will be used primarily for FAA certification testing and uses a dummy Boom and WARP systems for stability/control and flutter testing. Eventually the dummy equipment will be replaced with fully operational air refueling equipment. The first KC-46 (tail # 11-46004) flew for the first time on Sep 25th, 2015 from Paine Field in Everett WA. This aircraft has fully functional air refueling equipment and will be used for air refueling testing to include boom, centerline drogue, and WARP. The third and fourth KC-46’s will join the test team soon. All testing will be based out of Boeing Field in Seattle WA. Finally I would like to thank all the participating units for their 2015 Boom Signal inputs, as busy as you all are, you still managed to take time and contribute to the Boom Signal- THANK YOU for keeping the tradition alive!

Any content that is deemed inappropriate and/or disrespectful will be removed from this site. The Boom Signal Editor ALTUS AFB, OK 54 ARS “Jesters” CMSgt Sean Rix (CEM) – For those that know Chief Rix, you know he’s been marching around acting like a Chief for years. This year he finally added the stripe to go along with the ego. If you need to know something, Chief has a story for it, and he will tell it to you more than once. Some of us think he has a mild case of Alzheimer’s as he repeats himself quite often. You can find Chief driving one of his two Jeeps to the local gun range to practice his sharpshooting skills. Oh, he does some of that mentoring stuff too. Operations Superintendent/First Sergeant MSgt Michael “Potato” Russell – MSgt Russell is the 54th’s resident vegan expert. Aside from the lack of red blood cells in his diet, he enjoys long walks around Lake Altus and handfuls of Tofu as a treat. You can find him ordering stockpiles of tofu through Amazon and occasionally disappointing his wife when throws meat down his gullet over at Val’s. He also handles day to day issues that arise during training as the Ops Super. Pretty sure the only perk to being Chief Rix’s henchman is the reserved parking space. Student Training Management MSgt Justin “Papa D” Dixon – MSgt Dixon is the NCOIC of the Student Training Flight. His days are filled with all the joys of explaining to students why they are on CAP, how to not be on CAP, and completing the paperwork associated with it. He had shoulder surgery late last year and still hasn’t flown. If you’re looking for him, just call, he is more than likely on leave. TSgt Earl Mayhew – TSgt Mayhew is MSgt Dixon’s right hand man, and served almost literally in that capacity after Dixon’s shoulder surgery. Earl fills in where needed, stealing the First Sergeant’s parking spot on occasion, and basically being a jack of all trades. Well, he kind of is, just ask him about his pre military job history. I think the only things missing from that list are rocket scientist and cartoonist. TSgt Matthew Hunsinger– TSgt Hunsinger is our most recent NCOA graduate. He collected himself a little DG action from there, and I don’t mean Dunn Gradgiated. Matt puts all the students at ease when passing out his Werther’s Original candies and tells stories of when he was in boom school. Matt has enacted “common law” marriage with his BFF Nate Bahr. They make a great couple. TSgt Logan Berry - If you’re looking for TSgt Berry you can find him snuggled away at his desk or taking long runs around Altus. Logan has become our running expert and has been known to give classes on running shoe type and running technique. You can catch him on the schedule flying quite a bit as well. SSgt Kristopher Echols –A recent addition here at the school house. Kris was here long enough to sign in, and off to Honor Guard he went. We see him floating around the building once in a while. SSgt Alexander McGinness – Alex served as the past years ABOA president. He is highly involved in the male Boom Op review calendar, where half-shirts are mandatory. When Alex wasn’t busy flipping tires and doing two-adays, he was busy doing some really great things to propel the ABOA into the local community.

Current Value ($/Mil): $270 Percent Change From Last Year: -8% Arena: Philips Arena Date Built: 1999 Facility Cost ($/Mil): $213.5 Percentage of Arena Publicly Financed: 91% Facility Financing: The facility was financed through $130.75 million in government-backed bonds to be paid back at $12.5 million a year for 30 years. A 3% car rental tax was created to pay for $62 million of the public infrastructure costs and Time Warner contributed $20 million for the remaining infrastructure costs. Facility Website UPDATE: W/C Holdings put forth a bid on May 20, 2011 for $500 million to purchase the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Thrashers (NHL), and ownership rights to Philips Arena. However, the Atlanta Spirit elected to sell the Thrashers to True North Sports Entertainment on May 31, 2011 for $170 million, including a $60 million in relocation fee, $20 million of which was kept by the Spirit. True North Sports Entertainment relocated the Thrashers to Winnipeg, Manitoba. As of July 2012, it does not appear that the move affected the Philips Arena naming rights deal, © Copyright 2012, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 which stipulates Philips Electronics may walk away from the 20-year deal if either the Thrashers or the Hawks leave.

My advisors Paul Barolskyand David Summers first encouraged me to pursue my studies of the Polifilo; their unflagging support sustained me throughout, and their example continues to inspire me to follow in Poliphilo's path. My other readers, Francesca Fiorani and David Van Der Muelen provided valuable suggestions andadvice on patronage, dedications, and incunabula. I also wish to expressmy gratitude to Anne Schutte, Alistair Fowler, Deborah Parker, Martin Colker, and Terry Bellanger for stimulating conversations and generous advice, and Martin Colker and Thomas Govero for their assistance with the translations of Leonardo Grassi's dedication of the Polifiloand Ludovico Odassio's dedication of the Comucopiae.
