My second jet as an ADCC. It's the first F-16 I saw with chromed parts, I guess this is where the addiction started. Rudy Ramirez was my DCC; I don't think I ever saw him without that trademark grin!
My third and final active duty jet, and of all three, my favorite. This bird was the first F-16 to break 4,000 flying hours, which is really cool. The true honor goes to Ron Turner, my DCC and still a good friend.
This is the first bird I've been DCC on. She's got a lot of history; the first block 30 big-mouth and a Mig-23 kill. I've spent a lot of time with this jet, both on and off the clock. I took all the panels that are open for a preflight insp. off and polished/painted them. I also polished all the probes, intake lights, JFS door, hubcaps, and landing/taxi light rings. We attend several airshows every year, so if you see us, stop and say hello.
