 Crew Chief Profile
Operational Conversion Unit "Vulture" , 1979 - 1996
I was in the recovery crew when the FB01 arrived in Beauvechain as our first Falcon on 26 Jan 1977. Due to the snow, it arrived 4 day’s late, the 22nd was my birthday ;-) On 19 Feb 1993 I did my first and only backseat (at last) in the same FB01 in an Air to Air gunnery, Solenzara, Corse. Pilot: Cpn Hans van Maele, 349 Sqn.
