New Wing Assignments
There have been some recent changes in assignments within Wing Operations. The current assignments are:
Maj. David Ayers Ass't DO
Capt. Arnie Rosenthal Stan/Eval
Capt. Robert Weyant Aircraft Main t M gr
Lt. Col. Pete Andersen ES Officer
Maj. Ted Tanory CD Officer
Our thanks to Capt. Dick Weichman for his many years of dedicated and effective service as ORWG Aircraft Maintenance Manager.
NHQ has just issued a contract to Aero Maintenance at VUO to provide Consolidated Maintenance for ORWG. There will be more information forthcoming in the near future about how we will manage this program. Going forward please coordinate all maintenance action requests and discrepancy reports with Capt. Weyant.
Pilots desiring G1000 training …we have approval for another round of matching funding on the glass. Refer to my earlier announcements regarding the ground rules for taking advantage of this funding. It will be available from 7/21 through 8/19, or up to the authorized budget whichever occurs first. If you are going to fly a reimbursable sortie please contact me a few days in advance for instructions on how to properly set up the flight release request. If not done properly, and the process is a little different, it will jeopardize the reimbursement (as one member recently found out).
On a different note …our Air Force directed/monitored GTE is scheduled for August 13th through the 15th with the ICP at UAO and a Staging base at MFR. One of the keys to a successful event is member participation. This exercise is designed to stretch our capabilities to the limit, which can be severely hindered without maximum member participation. In the past we have taken hits when critical positions were not filled on a timely basis. Please mark these dates on your calendar and commit to participating to your maximum ability. This is our most important exercise of the year.
