 Crew Chief Profile
13th Fighter Squadron "Panthers" , 1986 - 1991
First F-16 aircraft I was assigned to crew. Very good aircraft, but you had to rub its belly to get her going from time to time. I thought that I was still crewing F-4. This was the aircraft that help me transition from working on F-4 to F-16. Very different style of maintenance had to be used on the Falcon, its a very sensitive aircraft
