I am beating the Volunteers with whips and chains, but just going by the pictures, it looks like the LSFM PB-XYZ is ahead of TEXAS RAIDERS B17!

But we are coming up with some sorely needed programs to get moving.
Namely:

The MO approved QA/QC Form DA 2404 system and the DM&QA from CAFHQ OK's it. <{ that would be Gary Austin, to you WIXers}>

The IA that the MO is using says it works for him. And our own QA/QC Team member Rick T gave a school on it with Rodney B.
Radwan the TL approves it. The WL said, "Otey Buckwheat!"

So we have a documentation system that is acceptable to the FAA, the CAF DM&QA, the MO, the QA/QC Team and the WL.

If you are going to work on the airplane all of this alphabet soup matters.



Speaking of Training, our own Suzy B. gave a HOW TO FIND any part Training Session on the Micro-Fiche referencing the Dash-4 last Sat. We put it to the test Wed. night when Mike W. and Buster K. Nuckles had to find a drawing of a Wing Extension Attachment Bracket. Lo and behold, it was right where Suzy told us it would be... At least if we followed the system she taught us. If you missed it and you need to get the skinny on any parts grab David C, Matthew F, Rodney B, Suzy B or the Wing Leader and they will show you how it's done.
Teach a man to fish and pretty soon he can at least make Sushi for himself! Fish and chips is a little too ambitious at this stage! :lol:

So there you have it!
