 Crew Chief Profile
510th Fighter Squadron "Buzzards" , 2000 - 2001
This aircraft was Special! It had three ACES during the Bosnia Campaigns while still assigned to Ramstein AB, Germany. It became the 31OG Flagship and I was chosen as the DCC. It was my first assignment as a DCC. I could not ask for a better aircraft. It was one of the high-flyers in Allied Force. There is a cool nose-art picture from this jet on the 510 FS webpage. Thanks to all the Aviano guys that taught me so much!!!!!!!!!!

Apr 23, 2012 - 05:55 PM 		Triple Kill

This bird was first assigned to the 555th FS before going to the 510th, I can't give exact dates but it happened around the time 89-2009 was transferred over. When I first arrived at 555th FS Apr 96 this bird had the blue/gold tail flash, and was still wearing the three kill markings, while 89-2009 wore the 4th.
