GAO-03-1006, Opportunities for Oversight and Improved Use of Taxpayer Funds: Examples from Selected GAO Work If the Congress were to limit funding to no more than 21 aircraft in fiscal year 2004, and then proceed with the planned acceleration of production to 24 aircraft in fiscal year 2005, 26 aircraft in 2006, and 32 aircraft in 2007, budget savings could be achieved. No specific budget estimate can be developed until numerous variables, such as the extent of consolidation and the impact on command and support structures, are determined. However, no significant legislation has been enacted to streamline or reorganize federal land management agencies and the four major federal land management agencies have not, to date, developed a strategy to coordinate and integrate their functions, systems, activities, and programs. www.gao.gov /htext/d031006.html   (16154 words)

[No title] But no matter how despicable the false prophet David Koresh was, he is not the issue of these hearings, much as some would like to change the subject. Flooding an enclosed space with CS tear gas is not an acceptable exercise of police power no matter who is inside that space. FAA's experts accompanied members of the committee to Austin June 26 to look at the supposedly converted machine guns which triggered the Davidian raid. www.rkba.org /knox/21jul95   (3467 words)

[No title] There were no jet operations planned for today, and the atmosphere in the tower was relaxed. Class C airspace was an imaginary cylinder of air several miles in diameter, inside which all aircraft had to be in radio contact with an air traffic controller. At Lackland, a squadron of F-15s had just taken off, and at Reese AFB in Lubbock the Air Force managed to launch two F-16s and a T-38 after the attack, in a desperate effort to defend against new strikes. www2.xlibris.com /bookstore/book_excerpt.asp?bookid=871   (2064 words)

The Blackburn Buccaneer No pictures of FAA Buccaneers show the ILS antennas, but to confuse matters further some pictures seem to show little mountings where the antennas should be, as if there were provision for them but they weren't fitted. Later RAF Buccaneer squadrons were intended for low-level tactical strike and operated mostly in Germany. The end of the Cold War meant the withdrawal of Tornado squadrons from Germany, and these newer aircraft were assigned to replace the Buccaneer in the maritime strike role. www.vectorsite.net /avbucc.html   (7072 words)

Excerpts From Air Mobility Master Plan As the FAA continues to phase out TACANs and our precision landing systems reach obsolescence, these aging systems must be replaced with state-of-the-art technology. The FAA determined Global Positioning Systems will be the standard for navigation systems under the Future Air Navigation System. Though AMC desires a fully autonomous system requiring no local ground equipment, it is likely no near-term fix has that configuration. www.fas.org /man/dod-101/sys/ac/docs/Excerpts_AMMP.htm   (5298 words)

FLUG REVUE update: Week ending March 21, 2004 The move is being done as a force consolidation measure and 721 Squadron will officially begin operations out of Aalborg AB on April 1. Add to that complete FAA certification and the Bell 210 is truly the best total value proposition to be found in the market today.” Much of the Bell 210 is based on the highly successful Huey II program. The primary differences between the Bell 210 and the Huey II are the inclusion of different actuators, nose assembly and a new electrical system and the receipt of FAA certification. www.flug-revue.rotor.com /FRNews1/FRNews04/FR040321.htm   (9719 words)

Endnotes While some have suggested that the dogs were killed to hide evidence of radiation poisoning, there is no evidence that either animal was suffering from such a malady. Yet considering the extent of the cover-up underway at the time, and the number of people who feared for their jobs, the autopsy reports on the dogs could have been faked. There is no indication from his source notes that the author ever interviewed any of McVeigh's friends or associates, or did any independent research on the bombing whatsoever. www.constitution.org /ocbpt/ocbpt_en.htm   (15791 words)

The Blackburn Buccaneer Inspections showed that the Gyron Junior engines were no longer suited for operations, and all surviving S.1s were grounded immediately and for good. The RAF also received 64 Buccaneers from the FAA as the Royal Navy's carrier force was largely scrapped. In the early 1980s, the Panavia Tornado IDS began to replace the Buccaneer in the overland strike role, and the Buccaneer was increasingly reassigned to maritime strike, retaining overland attack as a secondary mission. www.faqs.org /docs/air/avbucc.html   (4942 words)

SKYHAWK PRODUCTION HISTORY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) Powered by a Curtiss-Wright J65-W-16A engine, it had a one-piece windscreen, no tailhook or refueling probe, and the "sugar scoop" exhaust baffle was not yet conceived. When delivery to fleet units of later versions of the Skyhawk began, some A4D-1 (A-4A) airframes were assigned to Naval Reserve squadrons and redesignated TA-4A, although no structural modifications were involved. Twenty-five A-4B/A-4Ps were delivered to the FAA in 1966 and another 25 (A-4B/A-4P) were delivered in 1970. www.skyhawk.org /2C/productionhistory.htm   (4155 words)

Of this total, ten aircraft will have been delivered by the end of this year (2001) and an additional 13 will be handed over during the course of 2002.

AUSTRALIAN A-4 SKYHAWKS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) The FAA was established to provide a force capable of aerial anti-submarine and fighter protection for the Fleet, and was based around two aircraft carriers and shore establishments, the latter comprising of former RAAF airfields at Nowra, on the New South Wales south coast, and Schofields, west of Sydney. Two FAA squadrons operated SKYHAWKs during the types career with the RAN, 805 Squadron (renumbered VF-805 in 1969) as the front line unit, operating from MELBOURNE when it was at sea, and from NAS NOWRA when it wasn't; and 724 Squadron (later VC-724), the SKYHAWK Operational Flying Training School, also based at NAS NOWRA. The first operational RAN SKYHAWK squadron, No805, was commisioned at NAS NOWRA on 10 January 1968, and remained operating the A-4 until the end of RAN carrier operations forced it's final disbanding in July 1982. www.skyhawk.org /2E/australia/ran.htm   (3280 words)
