| 16th TFTS , 1979 - 1983 | ||
|
First F-16 with my name on the canopy rail. Then Captain Sergio Del Hoyo was my pilot. I loved my jet and my job. The unit was the 16th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron (TFTS) and not the 16th TFS as identified above.
Great people, and an exciting time as the Viper was new to the USAF. It was great to be a young airman crewing a new jet. Would do it again in a flash.
