The crew arrived at Harrington with 5 officers and five Enlisted,
and the orders do not show MOSs for Officers. While it may be safe
to assume the first two are pilot and copilot, after that the
remainder MOSs are unknown. They are not recorded for any combat
missions in the Late Period Operations Log and their stay was limited to 10
days; they may have been on base for training purposes.
