The U.S. Air Force proposes to replace the 33 O-2A aircraft currently assigned to the 507th Tactical Air Control Wing (TAIRCW) at Shaw Air Force Base (AFB), South Carolina, with 29 T-37 aircraft. The mission of the 507th TAIRCW would remain unchanged. The T-37 aircraft would be combat coded for the Forward Air Controller (FAC) mission of the 507th TAIRCW based at Shaw and would be employed in all FAC roles except weapons delivery. Phase-out of the O-2A aircraft would begin in the second quarter of FY 86 and would be completed by the first quarter of FY 87. Beddown of the new aircraft would begin in the third quarter of FY 86 and would be completed by the first quarter of FY 87. The proposed action would include (1) minor changes in aircraft flight operations, (2) an increase of approximately 80 military and 3 civilian personnel authorizations at Shaw AFB, (3) minor modifications to existing buildings and improvements to aircraft parking and taxi ramps used by the T-37 aircraft, and (4) changes in the procedures used for aircraft maintenance.
