 Crew Chief Profile
10th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Fighting Tenth" , 1982 - 1983
INcirlik Turkey, Launched Lt Gen Goodall on one of his first F-16 checkrides right after his qualification in the aircraft. Longest time in the chalks. I am sure he wanted to be very careful to go exactly by his checklist and make no mistakes. You know how these desk jockies get after too much time spent out of the cockpit. Great guy. Very fun experience.
