Aircraft 80-480 was the first F-16 I ever worked on, but definitely not the last...But I will always remember this aircraft because it got me started on what I consider to be one of the finest fighters in the world...Worked this aircraft at Nellis AFB, 474th FW, 429th FS...474th deactivated in 1989.

Was good to be off F-111's for a change but the Utah climate and I did not agree. You know it's cold if de-icing fluid freezes. I ended up in the middle of 2 rows of F-16's on the 388th ramp. Just a normal engine run at 0300L after a throttle cable change. No biggie ....I got this.
