Whiteman" about production of Q's he stated that he thought there were only 15 built. According to Robert Dorr's book on KC-135's he states that there were 56 planes converted to Q specs. Which I think is more than enough to fill 3 squadrons(please correct me if wrong, I don't know how many planes it takes to make a squadron. John Stone ------------------------------ From: TRADER@cup.portal.com Date: Sat, 2 Apr 94 15:57:55 PST Subject: yikes - I made a typo on TENCAP Oops - I forgot to proof read my last post on the Air Force's TENCAP program - I should have said that TENCAP stands for "Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities", not Technical. Basically, this is an effort to get data from spy satellites into the hands of tactical commanders and their war fighters. Along with the programs I mentioned, interested readers may want to refer to Program Element 0207247F in the Air Force budget -- "Air Force TENCAP".
