Ground Zero
|
USAF #91401
F-16C Block 52
Wore 13 mission markings and 4 HARM markings for Operation Enduring Freedom. The nose art is of a fireman at ground zero reaching for a soldier and large american flag.The art work is by TSgt. Robbie Leist and SSgt. Chad Marks. However, the 389 did not fire any Harms during OEF, so the HARM markings are from previous OSW deployments.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Preacher"
My name is Jim Jones. A short time before I began UPT a reverend with the same name had caused a large group of people to drink poisoned kool aid in a bizarre religious cult ritual in Guyana.
In typical tacair fashion this was deemed the perfect call sign for a newly minted air force pilot.
I ended up 11fx and assigned to the F-15C, so I would have answered to any silly thing they wanted to call me. :)
