This report describes select individual U.S.A.F. SAC bomber base usage information. Airbase data for a least the period February, 1989, through January, 1990, is correlated to present estimates for frequency of aircraft traffic at each base in terms of operations (Takeoffs and Landings), type of aircraft (Bomber, Tanker, Trainer, Fighter, Cargo, Helicopter, Civilian Air Carrier/Air Taxi, and General Aviation), and the runway used during the operation. Results of these estimates are then analyzed to present expected base usage information. The method used to derive estimates of aircraft traffic is essentially through detailed analysis of two months weighted Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) tower strip records applied to daily traffic count records and airbase meteorological (runway status) records. The weighted proportionality of the aircraft type is then applied to the remaining months of traffic and runway data to derive estimates of the expected airbase usage. Detailed explanation is presented for each step of the analysis methodology and, where feasible, standard deviation bounds are incorporated into the presentation of results. 6 refs., 71 figs.
