ITS AN F16I "SUFA"

Yup, F-16CG 88-0495. 'Was packed-n-crated and shipped to OO-ALC; rebuilt at 649 CLSS. I have one of the panels with SAM damage as a souvenir. 'Aircraft is now a wing (or squadron) flag ship in 388th FW.

Now thats a beauty

Former Pakistan Peace Gate III (sanctioned) aircraft; DH:1. Recently transferred to PAF with Fuselage No. 90613 90-0948 M27:1 15AM F-16B 900613

Look at the most viewed pictures on this site and look at the crash site with the F-86 & F-4 in the picture. This is where 88-2052 is lay to rest. She took two ducks on take off roll. There was not much left.

I am retired now but I was an elctro-environmental troop stationed with the 310th FS from 95-01 I was lucky enough to be cut trained as a crew chief and was "given" this aircraft when it returned from its falcon up mod. She still looks great even without 310th markings

I was the crew chief of this plane from 1984 until it went to Green Flag, afterwhich we transitioned to the "C" model in the 496th at Hahn Air Base in the former W. Germany. I understand it is now a static display in Souix Falls, South Dakota (or at least it was in 2003

The left Viper is of the 78th FS (Bushmasters) which was inactivated in 2003.

it is not taxing, it;s standing and rudder is may be changed with anyother A/C

It was something else kicking and twisting panels to get them to lock down right on this one after this insident. I was the assistant crew chief on this jet when this happened. As I recall, it was a Canadian Pilot Test flying this one at this time.

Thats not Aviano. Dont know where the picture was taken, but it wasnt here.

L-M should hang more International flags inside this pictured production hangar (if not already).. Since modern Viper sales are made to foreign countries and since marketing is key to sales, perhaps it would be wise to add other flags in that facility, hanging beside the stars and stripes?

My name was on the nose gear door from 89-91. What a great jet to learn on. The people I worked with at the 313th were some of the finest people I ever worked with. I would love to here from some of you, especially Henton Charles Brodie. We had a lot of good times together. Got bumped from my ride in Zaragosa also so that the Spanish AF could get rides. 327 didn't fly that day it had a mechanical problem, opps my bad! Miss the pommes and brats outside the gate at Hahn. Anyone that remembers me and would like to e-mail me can reach me at: billw70@optonline.net

This acft. carried the nose art "In the Mood" Until U.S.A.F.E. chose to discontinue nose art entirely

This acft. was formerly assigned to the 496th at Hahn A.B. but carried no nose art.

I was assigned to the 389th FS from December 2000 through March 2004 as a F-16 crew chief. This particular jet, 92-3880, was the one I was assigned to during that entire three year period. 880 is now part of the Thunderbird aireal demonstration team. I was very happy during the time I spent working on 880, and I would'nt trade it for the world. I imagine she will be a great jet for the T-Birds as well. I also have this very nose art tattooed on my right shoulder.

I flew this Viper on May 13th 1985 in Torrejon AFB It was a great experience. Pilot: Lt Col W. P. Miller

Should be... ...performing a de-preservation run.. They're starting the engine for the first time since it was "preserved" with oil for long term storage, or shipment. During preservation, fuel to the engine is shut-off while oil is turned-on. The engine runs on oil, displacing the fuel, and purging it from the engine.

This is a D+, with CFT and 600-Gallon tanks !

92-3880 is the jet I was assigned to for three years while I was a Crew Chief stationed at Mountain Home AFB. The years I spent working on 880 were some of the best of my life, and I hope she gives the Tbirds as much joy as she gave me.

Those look like standard Mk-82s, not LGBs. The pic of 79-0386 shows it has large white circles on the wing, while this jet has white stripes. Anybody know how the other team jets were marked?

Ahhh J 647 in the back ground, better know as 5EX WH@RE now a days. She is probably still in the hangar @ the US Guard Base.

This was originally "my" jet at Hahn AB 1982-1985. It was used in Gunsmoke, flown by Sergio DelHoyo. Col Ron "Gunner" Moore (ret)

Hey! 181! I worked with those guys for about a year back in '96. Diyarbakir's a fun town! ;-)
