Both will be away from Hqs. for the
next week or so. ( is leaving 3 March). He

practice of going thru the cycle with Hqs. and getting
Hqs. approval after their review. He wants to impress
on them the quick reaction potenia1 of TTis In the
present case this should occur, stated,
when the list is received, Contracts Division has his
approval to notify the contractor to proceed to procure

MEMORANDUM - CHIGOE
23 February 1966
1. ' Ref telecon Dave Lane/ this date,
contractor is becoming increasingly concerned regarding
normal routine maintenance of the vehicle during the
interim until it is flown to Greenville. In addition
the aircraft is badly needed to do measurements, etc.
Contractor suggested, if easier for us, that perhaps
we would want to send in a Navy crew to ferry to
Greenville. Contractor pointed out that the longer
the vehicle sits at Edwards the better chance that
parts will be needed prior to ferry. He mentioned that
probably the individual who is procuring the microfilm
(Cmdr. Dick Warren) would be very helpful in obtaining
spare parts and other supply support. Contractor also
emphasized that the vehicle's engines can't sit very long
without attention - the vehicle should get normal
squadron routine maintenance - also mentioned the PRT's
on the engines (power recovery turbines) and their
sensitivity to non-use.
2. As 'a result, telecon
authorized Contractor t
ground crew to update maintenance.
(b)(3)
/Seward

3. This proved unnecessary. Bill Seward in
telecon with Edwards confirmed that Kelly's people are
giving the engines normal engine pre-flight run-up
every 3 days and the jets every 5 days. Bill stated
this is normal Navy practice. Also, that we will continue
to do this until the vehicle leaves Edwards.
4. Dave stated that for the time being at least,
they would "stick with the quote of $3071 for reconditioning
and ferry the aircraft."
5. Regarding implementation of some portions of
Phase II, he feels that there are some items - long
lead time type - which are firm enough that procurement
action could advantageously be initiated during Phase I.
However, nothing in connection with the installation
work could go forward due to interface requirements. He
stated that any other work is dependent upon results of
Phase I before any cost figures could be developed. We
notified him to discontinue efforts in this direction -
attempting to cost separate work elements on Phase II which
could be commenced.

his inquiries showed that LTV does carry-this type
insurance as applicable for any. time LTV people are
in control of an aircraft or any time trouble resulting
from work performed by LTV is LTV's, fault, They
do not carry insurance coverage for Government aircraft
