Abstract :
A description is given of the Blue Two visit (BTV) program. The BTV program, named for the two-stripe maintainer, is designed to give corporate individuals, particularly designers, and US Air Force programs management personnel a first-hand experience with supporting and maintaining weapon systems and equipment. Past visits have focused on general aircraft maintenance as well as hydraulic systems, support equipment, software weapons, avionics, communications, and aircraft structures. Future BTVs will include rotary-wing aircraft and space systems
