Cool...nice area, I liked it there (when I visited) , my oldest son used to be stationed there.
Sorry to hear that budget cuts and manning issues are causing such a nightmare there in this area. |

That's got to be a lot of work for a single dock.
What are Phase intervals up to now? Back in 89-91 at TJ with 150hr phases it worked out so we would have a jet a week throughout the year (basically 2 phases a jet per year).
During Desert Storm, we accelerated our checks to a Phase every 26 hours for our two shift crew, (we were never able to make it in a single day, so we overlapped an extra hour or two at each handoff) as we were flying 150 hours, on average every 24 days. Nobody thought we could do it, and we literally 'wrote the book' on 'Combat Phases' as when we asked, we found that no one else ever had.
"So, we're going to do 'combat phases'? What exactly are they??"
