80th Fighter Squadron "Juvats" , 1988 - 1990
This was an awesome jet. I used to bargain quarters from pilots winnings it was such a good bombing jet, not to mention it's accuracy with the gun. Had a pilot change the rounds counter, I told him he didn't need to do that if HE could shoot, turned out he got busted for too many hits in the rag!
