Suffered from an electrical fire during start up in 1991. The EPU activated after primary and standby generators fell offline. Spark chasers had a fire in the main landing gear bay during electrical checks. Chafing discovered where the harnesses crossed from the left to the right MLG bays. Depot team from Hill ALC came down and assisted with rewiring from tail to aft seat clock. All power harnesses needed to be replaced. Code 1 on the first FCF flight after all maintenance was completed.

Short time on this aircraft, not enough to get to know it, fell into a desk job then. All I know it's been up graded to the gill's.
