	Chapter V: Aviation Logistics
		Prior to Vietnam, it was believed that an overseas pipeline of 13 months would be required for aircraft engines (8 months for engines at wholesale level in Continental U.S. depot stocks and overhaul facilities plus 5 months in transit and in stock overseas).
		However, after consultation with the U.S. Army Vietnam representative, and recognizing the potential phaseout of "Flying Cranes" in the next 18 months, it was agreed that such a transfer would be costly and was unnecessary since the CH-54A's in U.S. Army Vietnam were accomplishing the required mission in a satisfactory manner.
		Inventories of helicopters in U.S. Army Vietnam increased more than ten times during the period and a readiness rate in excess of 70 percent was maintained despite the fact that these aircraft had to fly in excess of the programmed hours.

		While the first alphabetical half of my class went immediately to the Republic of Vietnam as replacement pilots, I was fortunate enough to be assigned to Alpha Troop, 7th Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry (Regiment) at Fort Knox Kentucky, for six months as a gunship pilot.
		Charlie found it convenient to slide his door window down to the open position and to expectorate the remains of his "cud" out the port side of the aircraft where it was immediately influenced by the airstream and the immutable laws of physics.
		Some time passed on this return flight before I mustered the courage to make suitable inquiries as to his remarkable escape from the clutches of the authorities.

		Although at press time Korean Air’s 2002 financial figures were only preliminary and available through a statement to the Korea Stock Exchange, they showed a major improvement over 2001, when the carrier faced a loss of KW 589 billion.
		Surprisingly, with Korean Air’s decision to retire its fleet of Airbus A300-600 freighters, any future expansion or opening up of new routes will have to be carried out with the carrier’s fleet of 15 B747s (nine B747-400Fs, five B747-200Fs, plus one leased -400F from Atlas Air).
		Terzakis does not deny that it is something of a shift for TNT from using commercial lift on long-haul routes to having its own dedicated routes, but he draws a key distinction between this and the fully owned freighters operated on long-haul routes by the other integrators.
