![]() F-16C Block 40
Probably an SA-8 exploded near the left external tank area. Fragments from the SAM hit the lower left side of the intake, including right through the intake. The left wing had a 2x3 inch hole and the main wing root had damage underneith. Stabilizers were peppered as well as the exhaust tail feathers. Part of the radome was also sheared off, but that damage was done during the crash landing at Rafha, Saudi Arabia when the nose gear would not extend. Major Ed 'Spot' Schumacher was a pilot who was visiting from the Fighter Weapons School and had deployed to Desert Storm with the 4th TFS. The aircraft returned to Hill AFB in a crate from Dahrain AB.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "MBA"
At a naming ceremony, and after being with the unit for nearly 4 years. No one knew my ethnicity(white/japanese). Some claimed me as Mexican, others claimed I was Japanese, some even said Indian. Then from the back of the room after much debate someone said. He "Might Be Asian", so from then on it stuck.
