Was the Whistleblowing Yanky correct at POST #504?

Airworthiness/certification rears it's head again...
UK launches new Rivet Joint flight test programme - IHS Jane's 360

(EXCERPT from Chapter 21)
I intended to post the remaining sixty-three pages of my Congressional disclosure to this chapter, but the remaining sixty-three pages contain aircraft technical data protected by either the Export Administrations Act of 1979 (Title 50) or the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22). Absent this technical data, the remaining sixty-three pages would inaccurately reflect the other substantiated aircraft maintenance problems of the 55th Wing [RC-135s].”

It is possible that the MAA petitioned the U.S. Congress for the remaining sixty-three pages of the whistleblowers' 2008 disclosure. The USAF utilizes a computer based aircraft maintenance data collection system named “CAMS” an acronym for "Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance System". The maintenance history of every RC-135, as well as the maintenance history of 64-14827, 64-14828, and 64-14829 is accessible through CAMS. CAMS is a useful instrument to those who know how to use it properly. Research of Work Unit Code (WUC) 42210 could be interesting.
