| I started working on the F-16 in 1981 at Kunsan AB, ROK. Up to that point I had only seen pictures of the F-16. I continue to work them to this day. | ||

F-16A Block 10 | [ i/a] | ||
| this was the first F-16 that I was the crew chief on. It was a great flyer but pilots did not like to fly it as it did not have a VTR. Instead it had an ASIP Flight Data recorder where the VTR was located. | ||||||

| This was the first assigned F-16 to the 58th TTW. I was lucky enough to go to Hill AFB, UT for the acceptance. I flew in the back seat with the Wing Commander, Col. Malcolm F. Bolton on Dec 6, 1982. It was the best F-16 I ever crewed. | ||||||

F-16A Block 15 | [ sto] | ||
| Never dare your squadron maintenance officer. I came from Luke to Torrejon AB, SP. A few days after being in the 614th AMU, I told the Capt. Lourdes Covas, I could make the worst aircraft we had the best. So she assigned me to 902. It had a history of the worst radar system in the squadron. I worked with the AA folks and we turned the jet around. | ||||||
