311th Fighter Squadron "Winders", 2021 - 2024

Was known as an absolute work horse prior to my PCS to the 311th and definitely was for the 6 months from March 2021 to August of 2021. Ol' 103 decided to have a vibe and be take a very long break. After being selected for a Tiger Team and swapping a new engine, ADG, CSD, Main Gen, A + B sys pumps, PTO Shaft, JFS, Flaperons, LEF's, Rudder, Horizontal Stabilizers, and 5 ISA's... the vibe was found with a ECS butterfly valve transferring from 1st stage to second stage bleed air at 78 to 82% engine RPM's. The amount of work put in to make 103 flyable again was unreal and I cussed her out a lot but damn if she wasn't my girl. I loved 103 and to this day she is a work horse yet again.
