Quick-Reaction Report on Repainting of the C-5 Aircraft

摘要

This report covers part of our Audit of the DoD Aircraft Paint Application and Removal Capabilities (Project No. 4LB-0027). In March 1991, the Air Force began a program to upgrade the appearance of its air transport aircraft. As part of that program, the Air Force began repainting all its C-5 aircraft. The estimated cost of repainting the C-5 fleet of 127 aircraft was approximately $152.1 million. Quick action is needed to revise the ongoing program before additional aircraft are prematurely repainted.
