Summary The purpose of the work proposed here is to evaluate the state of the aircraft and spare parts that will be transferred. To investigate availability of needed engineering drawings and documentation. To identify needs and estimate cost of repairs and restoration in order to obtain flight worthiness certification. To identify need and estimate cost of modifications required to stand hazards associated with storm penetration. To identify and estimate cost of modification required to remove weapon support systems and accommodate scientific instruments instead. To estimate costs of operating and maintaining the modified aircraft.
