13th Fighter Squadron "Panthers" , 1987 - 1990
Awesome jet it was my first jet as a A1C brand new when I got to put my name on the NLG door as ADCC. SSgt Tim Hucks was the DCC back then. Always flew good and got us high flyer quite a few times. I was stationed at Osan AB ROK 36th FS when the 13th came over to fly with us during Team Spirit/Foal Eagle 1993 when 492 crashed one foggy morning. Sad I just went to see it the day before and chatted with the current DCC on it.

I dont know who this person is that says he crewed 85-1492 during that time frame because I was the ADCC (SRA Andrew Bilous) between 1989 and 1991
