Source extraction notes

The AFMAN 36-2108 row for this conversion was dropped by the OCR quality gate (full-audit drop table, printed page 57, predecessor 452X5 to successor 2A6X6) and is restored here after verifying the lineage against the DTIC survey reports. 452X5 was established April 1993 by consolidating the tactical, strategic, and airlift electrical and environmental ladders (452X5, 454X5, 454X6).

Airframe Repair

The report's summary states that AFSC 452X5 (Airframe Repair) merged with 452X1 (Corrosion Control) to form AFSC 458X2 (Aircraft Structural Maintenance).

The summary dates the merger to 31 October 1989. The report's publication date is 1 April 1993, not the merger date.

  • The report's later introduction instead names 457X1 and 457X5 as the predecessor codes, leaving an unresolved conflict over which codes merged.
Source extraction notes

Summary assertion; conflicts with the later introduction, which prints 457X1/457X5.
