File: aabff_19.txt- The FCF on 1165 released Code one. - CENTAF is supporting this initial swap out but will not place this idea high on their list of priorities. That's fine because we only need this airlift guaranteed so we can swap he folks so they are evenly distributed. Then we can schedule eight ships across the AMU's. - They found the ventral panel!!!! - a/c 1148 diverted to Jubail for engine problems. His wingman reported a puff of smoke out the back end. We got a team going up tonite. - There are problems getting both our location and the FOL to sing from the same sheet of music. When you lay out a plan, everyone must be informed of it and work their hardest to make it happen. No thumbsuckers or negative thinkers allowed!!!!!! - We flew 126 out of 129 sorties. - The FOL's steak dinner was a big success. We will try and do this once a week. FEB 13: DAY 28 - a/c 1148 and 1416 RTB'ed. a/c 1416 landed code three with multiple write ups but made it back. a/c 1148 was FMC at 0400 even though the team departed here at 2200 the previous night. - We had a total of 7 ground aborts and two air aborts today. - We got the C-130 airlift and deployed 65 folks North for a swap out at the FOL. The crew dogs from the 33 and 10 AMU went up to relieve the 17th. Also swapped were 10 Ammo and 5 CLSS, a MOC person and an OIC. Tomorrow we will send an eight ship from each AMU. - Due to the new spread across the board, every squadron will now configure for 10 Ables and the rest Bakers. - I am having QA generate a local MOI directing the fuel master switch to be safety wired to the "on" position. - We spoke with the 388th today and found out that they had received 24 of our ECA mod kits and had kept them even though they were marked for us. Still no word on the other 16 which were delivered to base on the 27th of January. - Overall a quiet day. All our birds spent the night here and the swap out went smoothly.
