My Jets & Assignments

87379 [Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit 35th Fighter Squadron "Pantons" [Unit History]
Period 1994 - 1995
Current: 87379   USAF 100 FS F-16D Block 30 [ act]
In the summer, I would need to vacume under the back seat after every flight to remove water that built up from the ECS system. If this wasn't done, the com system failed.
92920 [Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit 78th Fighter Squadron "Bushmasters" [Unit History]
Period 1995 - 1996
Current: 92920   USAF 77 FS F-16C Block 50 [ act]
Did the acceptance inspection on this jet from the factory. I actually remember reading that the thing had 5 flight hours on it. Smelled like a new car. If I recall, the factory messed up and put a wrong piece of plumbing in the wing for the fuel line to the 370 tank, we actually had to bring in depot troops to rip the wing off and replace the pipe. This bird eventually took over the assignment of the 20FW wing bird after I was assigned to 396.
91396 [Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit 78th Fighter Squadron "Bushmasters" [Unit History]
Period 1996 - 1997
Current: 91396   USAF 40 FLTS F-16C Block 50 [ act]
This jet was the wing bird for the 20FW prior to 920. It had its moments, but I have to love it since it was the first jet I was the DCC on.
