STANDARD DEBRIEF ITEMS: LAST FLIGHT LEG (19 March):
Our March meeting was a dinner meeting in the Daedalian Room at the WPAFB Club on 19 March. After a buffet dinner and a future business update, we received a presentation from Flight 9 member Lt Gen (ret) Jack Hudson on the two-seat A-10 Single Seat Night Attack (SSNA). This program evaluated the pilot workload incurred during the performance of representative SSNA operations and addressed operational issues concerning the low-level SSNA mission. The flight test program was conducted in 1982-1983 at Edwards AFB and McChord AFB. The lessons learned have contributed greatly to the Air Force’s night attack capability.
