Well i've been at Shaw AFB my whole short career so far but it hasn't been bad. I started out in the 77th and now got chosen to be on the Viper East Demo Team. That is currently what im doing, and I love it there is no better crew chief job around, those of you who have been would understand.

Deployments

Ive been to PSAB for operation enduring freedom whith the 77th it was good learning experience. I had just arrived at shaw and it was my first TDY/deployment.
Ive aslo been to Tallil air base Iraq doing transient alert. If I dont say so myself it was probably the best deplopyment you could ever hope to go on. Hot, quiet, and not a lot of aircraft coming through there what more could you ask for.

This jet and me have a lot of memories we've definetely spent a lot of time together. I had just got on her when we went to PSAB, funny thing about PSAB is there are a lot of sand storms, this jet flew through one and dropped out of the sky in a flat spin about 35000 feet. She has never been the same, still to this day they are find flight control problems and standby gen problems related to the fall. haha
