518 is the last Romeo to finish integration, it is at HSM-41 now. 523 is the latest off the line, but it won't be done with integration for 5-6 months.

Newest a/c 164861 MH-53E

For any who may be curious, this is (was) the advantage of the training command during a surge. We had 3 IP's get 85-90 hours in July '89 and our low time IP had over 45 hours. For the year, we had 2 IP's over 625 hours and 8 over 500 hours.

Every cross country request was approved; I was on an X-C about 7 out of 8 weeks (my wife was a T-2 IP and we had a blast: NAS Glenview to watch the Cubs play, Key West every few weeks, Homestead AFB for the Miami Boat Show, etc.). Every time I had a contemporary tell me the TRACOM wasn't a competitive tour, I'd just smile and say "you're right, keep me in that briar patch."

Our flight surgeon was in the squadron every day checking IP's and flight time giving waivers.

I know it's apples and oranges (T-34 vs T-2), but we had a couple of guys w/ 800 hours this last year. Talk about a literal pain in the ass.
