F-16 78-016

I was stationed at Luke AFB, 311th TFTS and this acft was there. It was the 832 AD Commanders acft. In Jan of 1986 I was assigned as the DCC. B/Gen Davey was the Commander of the AD at that time. In late 1986 I found a cracked wing spar and the acft was sent to depot for wing replacement. Never knew where it went from there. It was a great flyer and I took high flyer for the Wing in July 1986.
