This jet came to Shaw via a 3 month visit to SP. The airframe was good, but I had no faith in the GE129.... leaked oil everywhere and seemed no matter which engine it had, it broke. This jet had its biggest moment about 1 year later - fresh out of full paint, Shaw was tasked to host Good Morning America - this jet was chosen for the back drop. It came out of paint and sat in a hanger being primped for a week straight. Probably the best photo of a F-16 that I have - so clean!
