Started with the 72 at MacDill, then went to the Kun and spent a year in the tree with the 35th. Ended back at MacDill to close out the 72. Transfered to the 61st to help close that one down then moved to Luke to startup the 62. Then the Air Force decided I needed to move again and sent me back to Kunsan where I ended up in the 35 and on the same jet as before. Well someone must of thought that was funny because I ended badk at Luke in the 62 again. Decided that was so much fun I was going to QA for a while. Did the tour in QA and after that it seems that I was wanted in the 61 to expedite and be the Asst Flt Chief. Then I decided that i was done playing and retired in AZ. Now getting ready to move to Atl Ga.

One of the best group of guys to work with, Bflt swing shift with Dave McPhereson (sp) as the flt chief. Of course who could forget Chef Diaz and the fact we couldnt keep a flagship.

Started in the 72 but only to help transfer out the equip. Moved to the 61 and was the asst on 87261. Yes the 61st, land of Bill Hindi on a fri night saying ( I think my ADG is using too much oil, lets troubleshoot it. Of course I dont think we ever found a problem.) Tim Stavely thanks for all the education on the Flt line and the Golf course!!

Shut 2 squadrons down in Fl. Time to start one up at Luke. Nothing like having to drive down to Gila Bend because the EPA would let the jets into Luke. In that time span I was the owner of acft 83-161, 85-1512, 84-1382, and 84-1296 yep I was a sq flagship puke. Just dont mess with my assistant Big Louie!!!

I was a crew chief at the 62nd Fighter SQ back in 1996-1999..........I would like to find some of those guys I used to work with.

I used to work with you, sometimes

Even though I am a pointy-head, you didn't actually despise me that much. How you doin', bro? Are you still at Luke? I'm at the Kun, and will be at Spang in Feb, with the wife and 5.4 kids (yes, #6 is on the way, we'll name this one MidTour).

You're still alive?

Hey there BC. I was sad to see your comments didn't mention the awesome engine guys you worked with. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your time off.
