Nellis is good but wears you thin when you get lost sucked into its black hole. Korea is great when you have great people to work and party with. |

Was only on this jet a few months. Wasn't very knowledgable coming from T-37's (Tweets). Good jet to start sharpening my MX teeth on though. This jet was a pig and hard to keep clean. Ended up being the jet I got my incentive ride in just before I left for Korea in Oct 98. There's probably still some puke on the left rear console somewhere. Thanks for cleaning that up for me "Chuck". | ||||||

While the gun was at backshop I took the gunport home over the weekend and stripped and shined it up. That only lasted about 2 months. Pilots were complaining that when they climbed into a bank they kept getting "shot" at because of the shine. Became DCC for the first time on F-16's here. | ||||||

This jet was awesome. I ended up getting "Crew Chief of the Quarter" 3 out of 4 times even though the last quarter I was in Korea for the last half of it. Couldn't have made it without the ADCC, Mean Gene. It's easy to get that stuff when both crew chiefs are $hit hot. | ||||||

Got this jet from Alaska. Had a pin-up girl riding a bomb painted on the comm door. Awesome jet once the hydraulic venting problem got fixed. | ||||||

Great jet with no major issues. Dedicated pilots were great. | ||||||
Other aircraft/assignments | Worked T-37 Tweets when I first came in 1994-1996. Randolph was great, the area was great, AETC flying schedule and work schedule was excellent. |
