78-0109.

DCC Sgt Bill Anderson
ADCC A1C Craig Moore
ADCC A1C Chris Pastorius

I cleaned the crap out of that jet. Learned how to change rudder pedals on that one. And boy do I miss the Fatigues. They were so easy to wear.

90-0794. Not a bad jet, but had a few issues. Don't know where this pic came from, but looks pretty cool.

Since I wasn't a crew chief, I didn't have one particular jet. My first jet was the F-106. To this very minute, it is STILL the fastest single-engine airplane ever to fly.

As far as quirks and peculariarities go, the F-16 shows its lineage; the Six had lots of 'em too.
