Crew Chief Profile
307th Fighter Squadron "Stingers" , 1987 - 1990
Made some good friends but worked my ass off. We exercised ALL the time. Enjoyed working Hot Pits, you got Friday off. Also remember a Avianic troop named Paul Wing that kept doing stupid shit. I heard about every story about Clark AB, PI. Wish I got to go. Fire Empire, Ice is Nice, etc.... Got my first Incentive Flight. We flew over the Florida Keys. Very cool. It had 370's so didn't do 9g's but did get stick time and flew over Mach. My pilot was Lt Jose Monteguedo (Gator Fan) but a cool guy just the same...
