Large numbers of Russian scientific and technical documents were translated using SYSTRAN under the auspices of the USAF Foreign Technology Division ( later the National Air and Space Intelligence Center ) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

At 1100 the AD / SI joined the meeting and reported that he had shown and discussed a copy of the initial rough draft to the Director of Intelligence, USAF, whose reaction was favorable …”.

Despite efforts of the final Twinkle report to downplay the fireballs and other studied UFO phenomena as natural, a follow-up report in February 1952 from the USAF Directorate of Intelligence disagreed:

* Project Liberty, a USAF plan to rapidly create and field the MC-12W aircraft for Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance

Others that do not fall into those categories ( i. e. applicants who are seeking a pilot slot ) can still elect to have the surgery done, but must follow the criteria in accordance with the USAF Waiver Guide.

Section 3 of the USAF Digital DATCOM Manual Volume I defines the inputs available for modeling an aircraft.

The term " fighter " is also sometimes applied to aircraft that have virtually no air-air capability – for example the A-10 ground-attack aircraft is operated by USAF " Fighter " squadrons.

When working in a team environment, the passage / mission plan should be communicated to the navigation team in a pre-voyage conference ( USAF term is " mission briefing ") in order to ensure that all members of the team share the same mental model of the entire trip.

Initially known by the operational code " Iron Hand " when first authorized on 12 August 1965, the term " Wild Weasel " derives from Project Wild Weasel, the USAF development program for a dedicated SAM-detection and suppression aircraft.

** Air Force One is the term for any USAF plane the President of the United States travels on.

Mess halls in the USAF, where unmarried junior enlisted residing in the dormitories are expected to eat, are officially referred to as " dining facilities ," but are colloquially called " chow halls ," although dining facility workers traditionally take offense at the term.

The most established explanation to the origin of the term, is that it was first used in 1984 by the Observer newspaper, which used it as an alternative term for the prototype group interested in detailed trivia, the trainspotters, as members of this group often wore, by then very unfashionable, civilian versions of the USAF N-3B parka with fur-lined hood, which was often called an anorak in the UK, when standing for hours on station platforms or along railway tracks, noting down details of passing trains.

A 2000 USAF safety report noted 24 premature detonation mishaps ( causing serious damage in many cases ) in 12 years with the SAPHEI round, compared to only two such mishaps in the entire recorded history of the M56 round.

When the U. S. President and Cabinet become aware the attack is underway, they assist the Soviet defense interception of the USAF bombers ; to little effect, because the Soviets destroy only two bombers and damage one, the Alabama Angel, that remains airborne and en route to target.

Minor storm damage in October slowed this phase somewhat, but RCA turned the system over to the USAF in February 1972.

The city of Palmdale formed the Palmdale Airport Authority to move forward to control the facilities and the lease with the USAF, to better develop regional air service in the High Desert.

These were by far the most complex, extensive and expensive missile launch facilities ever deployed by the USAF.

With the construction of new facilities beginning in 1959, Andrews had become by early 1962 the primary USAF flight installation serving the Washington, DC, area with the closing of the runway at Bolling AFB.

The United States Air Force ( USAF ) operated a base in 1952 on the site of the original airport using former Royal Air Force ( RAF ) facilities ( the USAF Military Air Transport Service ( MATS ) 1631st Air Base Squadron ), and in 1953 on the Monkton side of the airport, both used by the USAF MATS.

In 1971 it was announced that Itazuke would be returned to Japanese control, and the USAF facilities were closed on 31 March 1972.

With the end of the Cold War, it was agreed to end the USAF presence at the airport and the United States closed its facilities in 1993.

Burtonwood was used as a receiving depot for USAF and US Army equipment and supplies being withdrawn from their former French NATO facilities.

This arrangement permitted USAF access to the remaining military facilities at MCO if and when it became necessary.

Concurrently, many of the former USAF hangars and maintenance facilities have been taken over by civilian airlines and other aeronautic firms.

USAF then, and later NASA established missile tracking facilities based at Cat Hill.

The value of the airfield and facilities built and improved by the USAF since 1953 and transferred to Canada were estimated in excess of $ 250 million ( USD ).

During 1966-67 all USAF offices and facilities in France were closed and personnel and equipment moved to other NATO countries.

According to the USAF, Lowry had to support the new academy, and if necessary, training could be relocated so that facilities were available for the academy.

Through an agreement between the US, Canadian and Newfoundland governments early in 1947, the United States Air Force ( USAF ) took over the use of the airport facilities and utilized about ten of the buildings located there.

These three facilities are undergoing a transformation from Maritime Patrol Aircraft airfields to Multi-role “ Hubs ” providing crucial air-links for USAF strategic airlift and mobility in support of US European Command ( EUCOM ), Central Command ( CENTCOM ) and African Area contingency operations under CENTCOM, EUCOM and the evolving Africa Command ( AFRICOM ).

Recognizing the link between geographic and social isolation, the base command incorporated a number of recreational facilities into their programs and building projects, making Ernest Harmon AFB a leader of sorts among USAF facilities.

Harmon was used operationally by the USAF 11th Bombardment Group as an operational B-29 Base after the warp the 9th Bombardment Group as a base for strategic reconnaissance missions and by the 374th Troop Carrier Group, being used by Technical Service Command for transport of supplies and equipment from its depot facilities.

During most of 1951 and 1952 USAF construction upgraded the operational facilities, as well as the construction of support facilities.
