WFHR Used to enjopy crewing this hog, except when Brig. General Darnel would fly it, he would use 3 781A blocks just to write up the damn targeting pod.

My Jet at Homestead 308th FS

This was my second jet in my flying career, good old 2044!

I had my name on it at both Homestead (31 FW) and Moody (347FW) after we did a unit move in 1992 due to Hurricane Andrew. Awesome jet and was one of our top bombers! I knew it went to Aviano after they moved the Vipers out of Moody. I hope she’s still flying.
