A few notes and reminders regarding Air Services Hawaii, Hickam AFB and

1. Office space at Air Services Hawaii has been obtained for the use if the
NAST-I analysis team from the University of Wisconsin and some of the
associated scientists. All non-US citizens participating in the campaign
will also be accommodated there.
2. Access to Hickam facilities is restricted to personnel who have provided
personal data to Jeanette. Upon arriving at Hickam, those individuals should
check in to the Visitor Center (Pass Office) where you will be directed to
building 1045 to receive your badge from her.
3. Accommodations in ER-2 Ops (bldg 1045) are limited to instrument teams
who have already been promised space.
4. Daily 2003 PAC THORPEX OST Operations are currently scheduled to be
coordinated from building 2055 with a telcon link to Air Services Hawaii for
3:00 PM ops planning meetings. Please provide me the number of computers
that you will need to connect to the internet in 2055 and note the OS of
each system. For further information, visit the 2003 Pacific TOST website
at:  http://www-angler.larc.nasa.gov/thorpex/
5. Do not approach Hangar 35 without seeing Jeanette first. You will be
apprehended by security forces. All personnel requiring access to their
instruments need to see Jeanette at building 1045. She is responsible for
ER-2 access.
6. The Kick-off meeting (first planning meeting) is still scheduled for
3:00PM, Wednesday, February 19, 2003. Unless we decide to consolidate some
of our activities, it will still be held in building 2055 at Hickam. I will
notify you if there are any changes.
