588.  Flight resumption
     LANGLEY AFB, Va. (AFNS) -- More than 20 B-1B Lancer bombers have returned
to training flying status since Air Combat Command began performing time
compliance technical order inspections on the B-1B fleet last week.
     The bomber training flights were suspended June 27 as a precautionary
measure while assessing an engine malfunction on a B-1B from Dyess AFB, Texas.
 More than 30 training sorties have been flown since training missions resumed
July 15.
     A cooling tube in the bombers' engines is being examined and will be
replaced if necessary during the inspections, ACC officials said.
     The remaining B-1Bs should continue returning to flying status over the
next few weeks.


589.  NAACP award
     RANDOLPH AFB, Texas (AFNS) -- The commander of Air Training Command was
honored by the NAACP July 15 for contributions to Department of Defense equal
opportunity policies and programs.
     Lt. Gen. Joseph P. Ashy earned the Renowned Service Award for his
leadership in advancing equal opportunity and treatment for all Air Force
people, and for providing positive role models for American youth.
     Ashy directed the development of a multifaceted advertising campaign to
provide positive role models and a "stay in school" message for minority
youth.
     Based on a review of Air Force human relations training last year, he
directed an increase in human relations education for all technical and flying
training students.
     Also, officer trainees in ROTC and the Officer Training Group now receive
current social issues as part of their training.
     To personalize the message of Air Force education and training
opportunities to minority communities, Ashy oversaw the creation of several
programs.
     One involves black general officers and second lieutenants working
directly with minority youth and community leaders.
     Military people are honored annually by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People for their contributions to equal opportunity
policies and programs.
