I reenlisted in this aircraft at 36,000', inverted, Mach 1.2, with, then Lt. Col Mike Ryan as the pilot, and Lt. Col Milan Zimmer flying #2. He was waving the American Flag off the Right Wing as we went over the top inverted. Also the same day I sewed on Tsgt.

This was the first F-16 that I was ever the DCC on. My ADCC was Mike Roberts, and we named this one Mrs. Robinson. Mikey is the finest F-16 crew chief I've ever known, and could field-strip an F-16 blindfolded!
