I was named Honorary Crew Chief of the F16477 when Colonel Robert A Chin was in DCANG at Andrews. (Gosh, what year was that?) What a THRILL! I still use f16477 in all of my passwords because it is such a dear piece of my life. I am awestruck by such a powerful piece of beautiful machinery! Would love to hear from others associated with the F16477!
