Jensen Ogden ALC Public Affairs Ml ill AFB's the airfield manager to make sure flights don't conflict. We also want Office freight delivery system isn't unique by today's standards, except it is constant... 24 hours a day constant. Business is so good that there will be a notable increase in the number of daily flights to and from Hill. The business at hand, or the type of business that will be offered starting January 1988 will be an overnight delivery service LOGAIR, as it is called. Hill will serve as a flight hub for the deliveries, and according to John W. Garrard, chief of the Air- freight Terminal, it will resemble Federal Express and other commercial freight carriers. "The way cargo is handled will change as well. It will be sent to the various hubs, then distributed to proper destinations," said Mr. Garrard. "Hill will become a regional hub. We will also increase our flights which will give cargo faster delivery time." According to Mr. Garrard, Air Force Logistics Command has set up the flight schedules, allowing for as many as five aircraft to be on the ground at once. "That's not a burden by any means," said Mr. Garrard. "We have the space for that many aircraft and we are able to work with ? to make sure there ing space." is enough park- Hill receives as many as 10 cargo planes daily. The overnight service will increase by as many as 25 aircraft per week. "Right now we are utilizing all cargo space available," said Mr. Garrard. "Some cargo has to be sent by truck because of the high volume of business we do. It is definitely cheaper to ship by air and this increase will be a savings to the Air Force." Cargo planes don't spend a lot of time on the ground and according to Mr. Garrard, crews are constantly building pallets of freight that are headed for any number of Air Force installations. "It generally takes an hour and a half to offload and reload an aircraft," said the air freight chief. "Our storage building can house up to 89 pallets of materiel that can load several planes. We're exactly like an airport without the pas- the (U.S. Air Force Photos by Ralph C. Jensen) -- vi 1 sengers." On occasion the air freight terminal looks like a passenger airport, supporting the base mobility mission; however, the task at hand is overnight package delivery, no matter the size of the package. LOGAIR is gearing up for bigger and better business with Hill serving as the center point of the west. Unloading & checking Forklift operator Amn.
