Was assigned to 93-0547, 92-3885, and worked on every jet in the 389FS. Went on 7 different deployments. 2 TDYs to Saudi Arabia, to Prince Sultan Air Base, 2 TDYs to Shaik Isa Air Base in Bahrain, 1 TDY to Incrilik, Turkey, 1 TDY to Tyndal AFB in Florida, and 1 to Hill AFB in Utah. Was stationed and assigned to jets in Mountain Home AFB in Idaho. Started my school at Shepard AFB in Texas, did HOTT in Luke AFB in AZ. Won crew chief of the month in Saudi for being assigned to the high flier for 2 months in a row.

That was my squadron. T-Bolts rule!

Deployments

Too many and too much to list.

My Jets & Assignments

 		92885 [Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit 389th Fighter Squadron "Thunderbolts" [Unit History]
Period 1997 - 2000
Current: 92885   USAF 157 FS F-16C Block 52 [ act]
It had the most airframe hours in the squadron, so it constantly sat in CAN (canibalization). It was a forms nightmare! Always broke too! Much like 92-888, they were always broke with hydralic issues.
93547 [Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit 389th Fighter Squadron "Thunderbolts" [Unit History]
Period 1996 - 1997
Current: 93547   USAF 157 FS F-16C Block 52 [ act]
This jet was a wonderful jet. It ran great in the desert, and hardly ever broke. It was the squadron's best jet on my first deployment to Saudi Arabia, and earned me a Crew Chief of the month award. I got an incentive ride in a KC-135a where I got to fly the boom, and snap some photos of our jets air refueling.
