I picked up this aircraft with 17 hours on it. I was her first crew chief. We deployed to Thailand for Cobra Gold 1988. Boom operator shoved the boom through the nose of the aircraft. Put a metal plate over the hole and painted sharks teeth on it. One of two aircraft picked to perform a live bomb drop in Thailand for multi-national dignitaries. I crewed this aircraft for two years then she was transferred to Florida. I saw her picture on the cover of Airmans magazine once. So glad to see she is still flying.
