AFRL's Joint Cockpit Office mission accomplished
Test subject Stephen J. Richard, deputy chief of the Defense Attaché System Air and Maritime, pilots a C-12 cockpit mock-up during an assessment of the aircraft’s Primary Flight References. Joint Cockpit Office researchers record data to ensure the information the pilot receives from the instruments is correct.
Understanding
The commander of AFRL, Maj. Gen. Ted Bowlds and director of ORNL, Jeff Wadsworth signed the Memorandum of Understanding March 23 and expect the agreement to improve the cost, schedule and performance goals associated with developing critical technologies for the nation through the coordination of related efforts and information exchanges.
Nine-O-Nine
The B-17 Flying Fortress known as the "Nine-O-Nine" is the aircraft that that 1st Lt. Dan Montes, Air Force Research Laboratory, jumped out of to experience "living history" during a recent skydive. The aircraft, restored to its original wartime configuration, is named by the Collings Foundation in honor of a 91st Bomb Group, 323rd Squadron plane of the same name which completed 140 missions without an abort or loss of a crewman.

Nine-O-Nine
First Lt. Dan Montes, Air Force Research Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., completed a skydive jump from a B-17 Flying Fortress named "Nine-O-Nine" March 3. The B-17, serial number 44-83575, was restored to its original wartime configuration by the Collings Foundation, a non-profit educational foundation founded in 1979. Its purpose is to restore antique American vehicles and enable Americans to learn more about their heritage through "living history" events. Since 1989, the foundation began to include aviation related events to include the "Wings of Freedom Tour" of WWII aircraft. (Courtesy photo)
