Davis-Monthan AFB U.S. Navy Storage Summary - 1966

2018-03-05T08:57:26+00:00

The table below details, in aircraft name order, the numbers of each U.S. Navy aircraft type current at Davis-Monthan AFB at the end of each month during 1966. The numbers for each type are further broken down into the status classifications under which the aircraft were being reported at that particular time. Very often the change of statuses from one classification to another can be seen by the numbers decreasing for one code, and an increasing in another.

These figures only show the aircraft which had not been stricken from the U.S. Navy inventory, therefore the actual numbers may have been higher due to aircraft which were being used for reclamation purposes and/or waiting to be disposed of. However, the numbers give a very good idea of the numbers and movement of U.S. Navy aircraft being transfered to Davis-Monthan for storage.

U.S. Navy Aircraft Status Chart

2018-03-04T08:13:15+00:00

Status of Naval Aircraft Inventory

Naval aircraft "inventory" is comprised of all aircraft which have been accepted, but not stricken, by the Navy. An aircraft is accepted when legal custody is assumed by the Navy, and is stricken when officially separated from Naval custody by inclusion on the CNO promulgated listing entitled Separations from the Naval Aircraft Inventory.

Naval aircraft are presented herein under various combinations of three basic classifications: STATUS, CLASS, SUBCLASS and MODEL, and CUSTODY. "Status" refers to the classification of the functional employment condition of the aircraft. The various STATUS codes (situations) by which Navy/Marine air- craft are classified appear in the Status Code Table iK3XZd in this publication Likewise, the table Naval Aircraft Classes, Subclasses and Models illustrate the current system of aircraft classification by CLASS, SUBCLASS and MODEL. Class of aircraft refers to the general mission purpose of aircraft design e.g. fighter, attack, patrol etc.. ,Subclass refers to the next lower level of classification and more specific mission purpose or design e.g. fighter photo, recon etc.. Model refers to a particular type of airframe. Custody refers to the unit (reporting custody) and command (controlling custody) to which the aircrqft has been assigned.

Glossary of Terms (Aircraft)

ACTIVE PROGRAM AIRCRAFT	Operating and pipeline aircraft.
FUTURE DRONE CONVERSION	Non-program aircraft being held in a storage facility pending conversion to a drone configuration.
INACTIVE PROGRAM AIRCRAFT	Program aircraft which are either grounded administratively, stored, or in the process of first delivery (new aircraft)
INVENTORY	All naval aircraft which have been accepted into, but not Stricken from the list of Naval Aircraft. Inventory may be divided into Program and Non-Program categories
LOCATION	Data are shown by location in tables 6, 7, 8 and 11. Location refers to the physical location, at month end, of the unit having reporting custody of the aircraft.
NON-PROGRAM AIRCRAFT	Includes aircraft of experimental or target drone (man-carrying) configuration; those retired (awaiting strike or decision to strike or designated for MAP/FMS) but not yet stricken; aircraft stored with service life complete; and those on bailment or loan contracts.
OPERATING AIRCRAFT	This category includes aircraft in operating (A-) status and those awaiting operating status in the physical custody of an operating command (mrB3, 84, B5, B6, 87, BB, BH, BJ, nL. BM). O~erating status aircraft are those in custody of designated units for flight in ,,- performance of H ~av~/Marine mission. "Awaiting operatingn- includes-only those aircraft in the physical and reporting custody of an operating command pending, and intended for, use in oper- ating status. Aircraft in the awaiting operating category do not require rework prior to the assumption of operating (A-) status.
OPERATIONAL AIRCRAFT	All aircraft in the controlling custody of the operating commands (COMNAVAIRLANT, COMNAVAIRPAC, CNATRA, CNR/FOR, NAVAIRSYSCOM STF, and NAVAIRSYSCOM RDT&E) i.e., operating and operational pool aircraft.
PIPELINE	Includes all aircraft in logistic support of the operating segment of the inventory. The logistic Pipeline includes aircraft Enroute to, Awaiting and In either Standard or Special Rework and those aircraft Awaiting transit or Enroute to operating from Standard or Special Rework. New aircraft in process of first delivery and those in storage are not included in the pipeline category.
PROGRAM AIRCRAFT	All production aircraft in the physical custody of the Navy for which current or future operation within an authorized allowance is intended or can reasonably be expected. This includes all aircraft in the naval inventory except aircraft of experimental configuration, target drones (man-carrying), aircraft retired but not yet stricken, aircraft otherwise in process of final disposition, aircraft on bailment or on loan and aircraft stored with no operational service life remaining.
REWORK	The restbrative or additive work performed on an aircraft or aircraft equipment by Naval Air- craft Rework Facilities, contractors plants and other industrial establishments designated by competent authority. STANDARD REWORK, comprises one of the processes intended to prepare the aircraft to operate through the next full service tour or period. SPECIAL REWORK entails one of the processes intended to repair, modify or modernize the aircra7t without direct effect on service life (See OPNAVINST 5442.2D)
STORED, SERVICE LIFE COMPLETE (Stored, SLC)	Aircraft held in NAVAIRSYSCOM FS storage in a non-program status which have completed the service life prescribed by OPNAVINST 3110.11G.
STORED, SERVICE LIFE NOT COMPLETE (Stored, SLNC)	Aircraft with service life remaining but currently inactive and stored in a program status

AMARC becomes 309th AMARG in redesignation ceremony

2018-01-20T09:56:31+00:00

Posted 5/3/2007 Updated 5/4/2007

by Theresa Vanden-Heuvel
309th AMARG Public Affairs

5/3/2007 - DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. -- In an activation ceremony here May 2, the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center was officially redesignated as the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, under the 309th Maintenance Wing located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

Brig. Gen. Arthur B. Cameron III, commander of the 309th MXW, presided over the group activation ceremony and appointed Col. Anthony A. Panek, the former commander of AMARC, as the 309th AMARG commander in a flag unfurling.

The ceremony also served to activate four subordinate squadrons, which will continue to conduct the group's core industrial operations: the 576th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Squadron, which performs regeneration and specialized aircraft repair; the 577th Commodities Reclamation Squadron, which removes, inspects, repairs and delivers aircraft parts and subassemblies; the 578th Storage and Disposal Squadron, which prepares more than $34 billion in aerospace assets for storage and possible activation; and the 309th Support Squadron, responsible for supply, packaging and shipping, receipt of aircraft, and other continuing support functions.

The 309th MXW provides direction on all matters pertaining to depot repair, modification and maintenance for the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor, A-10 Thunderbolt and C-130 Hercules aircraft to Ogden Air Logistics Center, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, an Air Force Materiel Command base.

The alignment of AMARC under the 309th MXW is the result of an AFMC effort to consolidate weapon system development under a single command chain and to align programming, budgeting and execution for similar portfolios under a single organization structure. This concept will allow AMARC's mission to remain intact with an additional reach-back capability for support activities.

The activation of AMARG also provides a group and squadron structure more traditional to the Air Force and mirrors the larger Air Logistics Centers within AFMC. This new commonality in organization aims to provide integrated capability to the Air Force's warfighting customer by replacing individual program offices with consolidated units focused on common capabilities.

Occupying 2,600 acres of desert southwest and renowned for its impressive footprint of 4,400 military aircraft within the Tucson city limits, the center will continue to use its widely recognized and legacy name "AMARC" in some circumstances.

The number of people currently assigned to the center has not changed due to the new designations.

Class Designation of Bombardment Aircraft - 1947

2017-11-06T14:06:02+00:00

During September 1947 the classification of bombardment aircraft types was changed to better reflect the tactical operating radius of the types that were in service at that time. The table below details these classification changes by comparing the categories before and after the changes were made. Classification changes resulted in significant adjustments to the numbers of surplus aircraft included in the surplus aircraft storage tables shown on this web site.

Type of Aircraft	Models Under Old Classification	Models Under New Classification
Very Heavy Bomber	Boeing B-29 SuperFortress Northrop B-35 Convair B-36 Peacemaker Boeing B-50 Superfortress
Heavy Bomber	Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Consolidated B-24 Liberator	Northrop B-35 Convair B-36 Peacemaker
Medium Bomber	North American B-25 Mitchell Martin B-26 Marauder Douglas B-42 Mixmaster Douglas B-43 Jetmaster	Boeing B-29 SuperFortress Boeing B-50 Superfortress
Light Bomber	Douglas A-20 Havoc Douglas A-24 Banshee Douglas A-26 Invader North American B-45 Tornado	Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Consolidated B-24 Liberator North American B-25 Mitchell Martin B-26 Marauder Douglas B-42 Mixmaster Douglas B-43 Jetmaster North American B-45 Tornado Douglas A-20 Havoc Douglas A-24 Banshee Douglas A-26 Invader
