Code 1 killing machine! Great jet for the year I crewed her. Still remember the 4 CBU-87's hangin on the wings one morning for a live drop

Man this jet sucked!! It was down for like 3 months with weapons problems (SMS). I ripped the left LEF off so many times that i literally lost count. They replaced the entire wiring harness in the left LEF thinking that was the problem...nope that def was not it. It turned out to be a CB that was pushing out to much voltage. After that she flew like a champ other than the occasional code 2. She flew like such crap when i was first on her i ended up nicknaming her the Dirty Deuce.

The double deuce. It was a good flying jet until you put an ECM pod on it.

THIS IS THE BEST JET THAT I HAVE EVER WORKED ON. MY DCC IS AWSOME AND MY PILOT IS COOL. THIS JET NEVER HAS ANY PROBLEMS. IT IS A CODE ONE MACHINE
