DCC 53rd Wing Aircraft 98-0004. Current or Favourite assignment I've spent the most time at Eglin, now and it's been a good base to me. The jets are fun to crew and there's always good maintenance to do. The 80th was my favorite squadron, but 46 AMXS isn't far behind. Deployments Kyrgyzstan

I got this jet when I got back from Korea. I had prior experience with her and didn't like her. She was assigned to me tore apart and sold back in peices by phase and was having the stab box rebuilt by depot. I've rebuilt her and she still likes to break, but all this time I've spent working on her has made her grow on me. I love to hate her. She was picked to be the 53rd wing aircraft by Col. Gantt in June 2009. Keeps breaking, but I've been there to fix her and I've assembled a good crew to keep her flying high. Tough jet to crew, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
