Robins Team To Adapt C-141 Method
s to C-5: With the official retirement of the C-141 now passed, the 402nd Maintenance Group software support team at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia is adapting its 141-process to the huge C-5 Galaxy, which actually has older cockpits. The team plans to adapt its avionics maintenance station—a simulation lab designed to test software upgrades and problems—to work on the C-5. Currently, the only way to test software and hardware changes for the C-5 is to fly the aircraft, says Sam Kenley, software support flight chief at the ALC.
A massive contract to manage thousands of PCS moves failed because U.S. Transportation Command did not adequately oversee the results, according to the Government Accountability Office.
