This aircraft was accepted by the 58TTW in July or August of 1982. I finished the acceptance inspection after I was assigned there in July 82. I was her Crew Chief until I was reassigned in April of 85. I nickname her the ,"Arizona Favorite" after a popular TV Commercial of the time. I am not sure when she transferred out.

This is the first jet that I got to put my name on...granted it was just the nose wheel well but I still have a picture of it.
