Ron,
I am not sure if you remember me but we were stationed together at Moody. I was also an instructor at FTD 322.

I first got on the A-10 at Cripple Creek back in 1978. I miss the base and the UK big time, I had a wonderful time there and the TDY's kick ass, loved them all - good on you - best of luck too

Ron,
Just wanted to drop you and let you know that I am currently an FTD Instructor here at Moody on the TF-34 (A-10 Engine). Just got the job in March of this year and love every minute of it.

Hey Ron,
Your name sounds familiar and I think I can place your face as well. I was an engine instructor at 322 FTD from 86-91 when Moody converted from F-4's to F-16's. I went to the back shop after the FTD assignment and stayed there till I went to Iceland in 93. I was one of the engine instructors that went to Dannelly Field for their conversion to F-16's. I taught the flight line engine course.
