Crew Chief Profile
69th Fighter Squadron "Werewolves" , 90 - 92
I crewed this jet from August of 1990 to Nov of 1992. Including the duration of Desert Storm. It flew 79 combat missions during the war. The most of any F16 in theatre.

SSgt DCC on "Two-four the war whore". Static display with Polish government tail flash during official ceremony in Warsaw, Poland. Prime Minister announcement of purchase agreement for the F-16. And yes, I was still pretty ate up! Just talked back a bit more. Travis Clark, Pete Spoelstra, Kevin Bryan and Damon Lee all were great to work with on keeping "the whore" a high dollar dame!

Crew Chief Profile
555th Fighter Squadron "Triple Nickel" , 2020 - 2022
Assigned as DCC upon arrival to the WFHR Triple Nickel. One of the greatest jets we had during my time at the unit. absolutely demolished every flight she flew and very rarely came back broke. At least i was able to put my pilot, ADCC and my names on the jet with a few great pics before she was on her way to depot. ONCE GREEN!!!!!
