FUEL CELL.  SINCE THIS IS NOT A "SMART " CANN, WE PLAN ON HOLDING

THIS AIRCRAFT DOWN FOR 30 DAYS OR UNTIL WE GET AN VALVE.  WE ARE ABLE

TO HELP THE 36 TFW DEPLOYED WITH PARTS FOR THEIR LOX BOTTLES-   OUR

BASE SUPPLY SYSTEN {SBSS} WITH LANGLEY AS OUR HOST. ONE OF OUR

FRUSTRATIONS CENTERS AROUND THE "YO-YO" AVAILABILITY OF ON LINE

DATA TRANSFER. AN EVEN GREATER FRUSTRATION IS WHEN WE WAIT FOR TWO

TO FOUR DAYS FOR STATUS AND IT IS BA AT EGLIN.   WE FEEL THAT A CALL

TO OUR HOST UNIT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FASTER RESPONSE-   THE

PARTIAL RESUPPLY OF OUR WRSK AND CONSUMABLES HAS GONE A L0NG WAY IN

CLEARING A LOT OF OUR PROBLEMS WITH SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

SOURCE, WHICH BROUGHT INTO COMMISSION ONE OF OUR TS4044/D AIM-9

S35MU353001} IS STILL ON ORDER.   ADDITIONALLY, NINE AIM-9 MISSILES 

ARE IN CONDITION CODE "N". EMERGENCY COMBAT USE ONLY. THERE ARE IN

CONDITION CODE "L" AWAITING DISPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS.
