- Got a message today that our replacement aircraft for 1379 is
due in the 18 FEB from Hahn. We told them to pack the travel
pods full of covers (intake, butt, AOA, pitot) and control panels
for the pods as we had not received any for the three BAI birds.
We did not request pods or TER's.

- I have put a limit on phase overfly of fifty hours. They may
