KEN HACKMAN/U.S. Air Force Reserve Lean, mean and qreen Lunch with Leo and a look at the Air Force and biofuels BY CATHERINE CORNETT Hilltop Times correspondent L ooking forward to participating in Air Force Week Salt Lake City but you haven't made any lunch plans yet? Feel free to stop by the Salt Lake City Public Library on Wednesday, June 3, at noon for the fourth semiannual Lunch with Leo. Lunch with Leo, or rather, the Leonardo Group of Salt Lake City, will be featuring two guest speakers: Col. James Kelley of the Ogden Air Logistics Center and Dr. Jeff Muhs, the Executive Director of Utah State University's Energy Lab. The pair will be leading a discussion on biofuel and how the Air Force itself is incorporating biofuels. The purpose of the discussion, said Master Sgt. Jon Werner of the 388th Operations Group, is so that the "local community understands how (the Air Force) tries to be environmentally friendly ..." After lunch and the discussion, the Air Force band Max Impact will be playing a concert right outside the library, See LUNCH I page 12 i c Tfpr/wrtL r EAA B-17G Flying Fortress to visit Ogden airport The Experimental Aircraft Association is bringing their B-17G Flying Fortress 'Aluminum Overcast" to the Ogden-Hinckley Airport as part of their 2009 "Salute to Veterans" tour.

U.S. Air Force A T-38 Talon is shown flying above the horizon in this Air Force file photo. The T-38 is the latest in a series of aircraft to take on new biofuels and begin certification efforts. How Hill is helping with environmental efforts , BY CATHERINE CORNETT Hilltop Times correspondent W e've heard all the talk lately about going green, being environmentally friendly and more, so it's no surprise that the Air Force is also working to develop environmentally friendly fuels for its aircraft. With aviation taking up 81 percent of the Air Force's energy bill, there's a lot of hard work ahead for Lt. Col. Lloyd Addison of the 506th Aircraft Sustainment Squadron and his colleagues, 2nd Lt Jason Meyer, Engineer Tristan Young, Engineer John Germ, Lead Engineer Grant Herring, Lead Engineer Eric Flygare, Engineer Steve White, Engineer Clarence Williams, and others from the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Each member of the team is lending their skills and hard work to develop and certify an alternative fuel that is usable by the T-38 aircraft by the year 2011.
