This crew has developed a high standard of crew disciplime and
preformance,
While regulations allow 30 minutes for day time scrambles
on emergencies, this crew!s everage is 9 minutes; at night where 45
minutes ia permitted, they average U, minutes from notification of
alert to "wheels up", While scramble procedures are usually a compro=
mise between expedicency in helping a distressed aircraft and flying
safety, Captain Diver has developed a positive check system insuring
that the crew and aircraft are ready to go before take-off,
3e
Captain Diver's crew is meticulous in their attention to the
aircraft's airworthingness, They have ably assisted in a weight reduction program, now in progress, to give the Si~16 some single engine
preformance during the early stages of long range missions.
he
I believe that this crew's aggressive determination to accom
plish any mission assigned, plus their concern with the flying safety
aspects of their operations, qualifies them for the February Crew of
the MonthAward.
