Through previous experience, the Air Force has established 65 decibels as the cutoff point for noise levels which may be undesirable to residen-- ' tial occupancy. While the overall aircraft noise area, subject to noise above 65 decibels, has been reduced by about 1.5 percent, the Kaysville area has seen a significant noise reduction, due to elimination of the long, straight departure flight path required by the F-1- 05 F-10- 5. Wing hosts turkey shoot Eighty The Thunderchief is being replaced with the smaller, lighter and more maneuverable 6 Fighting Falcon, which has been operated by the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing at the base since January 1979.

The four maintenance units will also be evaluated on their ability to provide reliable, mission-read- y aircraft, good weapons loads and to perform integrated combat turns, in which an aircraft is rapidly readied for its next mission within imposed safety and time limitations. they had the latest information. Through the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone program, the Air Force cooperates with local govern-- ' ment planners to avoid residential development in high aircraft noise and accident potential areas.

Uriarte 6545th Test Group By The first question some of you may ask is what is the Air Force Assistance Fund and what does it have to do with me? The AFAF was established in order to help Air Force members like you and me when and if a sudden financial emergency should hit. Those eligible are active-dutretired and reserve members on active duty as well as surviving spouses. Members who qualify are given interest-fre- e loans during such personal family emergencies as paying, food, rent, utilities, medical and dental care, moving and transportation costs and similar needs. There are also three educational loan programs for those who qualify for the purpose of pursuing vocational, undergraduate or graduate y, studies. The amounts loaned can vary from a few dollars to as much as $2,000 provided such large amounts are approved by the installation commander. More information as well as applications for assistance can be obtained at the Air Force Aid Society section located at any CBPO or the Family Support Center on base. There are also two retirement communities which are supported by AFAF for retired Air Force ,members, their dependents and surviving spouses. By this point you might be asking what this has to do with a n is Well, the AFAF a supplemental way of raising funds for AFAF. How does it work? Each organization that wishes to participate will form teams made up of five players each. These players may be civilian or bowl-a-tho- bowl-a-tho- n. military persons. Civilian personnel, however, will be required to take annual leave. These teams will compete with the goal of obtaining the highest team score overall. The top four scoring teams will receive an organization award first place $150, second place $75, third place $50 and fourth place $25 that will go to their organization's AFAF campaign and count as a private organization gift. In addition, individual cash prices of $25, $20, and $15 will go to high series scores with handicaps for first, second and third places. The entry fee for each team will be $25 which will be paid by the organization's members or by the individual team members in advance, not later than Monday. The tournament will be held next Monday through Friday from 1 to 4 p.m. five-memb- er If this time frame is filled, addi- tional time in the mornings will be scheduled. In the event some teams would like to bowl in the evenings, attempts will be made to accommodate those teams. Teams will be scheduled to play as their names are provided to the bowling tournament chairman. This can be done by calling in your team to the chairman at Ext. 79911. Commanders, directors, chiefs of staff offices and tenant commanders will approve the number of teams and members to represent their organization. Organizations with less than 15 military personnel may join together to form a team. This is a great way to give, not to mention have fun. n Last year the AFAF So 108 teams. with contributed $2,700 why not join us this year for a great afternoon and help us beat last year's contribution by a mile! bowl-a-tho- AFAF exceed projected Cecuier adf oviflies Although there are only two weeks left in the 1984 Hill AFB Air Force Assistance Fund Campaign, Ogden Air Logistics Center organizations have exceeded their goal with 112 percent participation.
