Her name was "River Rat" but Mike and I called her "F*** Communism".

She's with the ANG now.

Hello!! I was in the 563rd AMU at George AFB from 1979-1984 and went to Nellis where I was assigned to the F-117 Nighthawk! George was my first assignment out of Tech. School!! i loved working on the F-4G and was glad it was my first aircraft to work on. Made me appreciate it all the more when it came to working on easy aircraft like the F-15C while at Eglin AFB, Fla.
