I entered the Air Force in 1998 and I have been an F-16 crew chief since. My first squardon was the 310th FS (before we went to AMU's). After a couple of years on the Flight Line, I went to phase and recieved my assignment to Kunsan AB Korea. After a "GREAT" year I came back to Luke and spent some time in phase and just recently PCAed into the 309th AMU.

My Jets & Assignments

88159		[Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit	310th Fighter Squadron "Tophats"			[Unit History]
Period	1999 - 2001
Current:	88159	310 FS	F-16D Block 42	01 Oct 1991	[act]
When I was first assigned this acft it was no where to be found, later on I found out that it's 341 bulkhead was cracked. It was down for about 6 months or so. As soon as it was fixed and everything was said and done it flew for its FCF flight and landed code 1. It was a great flying jet and then it went CANN and it was then known as one of the dirty sisters (other acft was a9159)
89055		[Detailed history of this F-16]
Unit	35th Fighter Squadron "Pantons"			[Unit History]
Period	2002 - 2003
Current:	89055	35 FS	F-16C Block 40	Sep 2001	[act]
This jet hated to be cleaned. If I cleaned it would break hard (ie. hair line crack in the PDU, motor pull at least once a week, flt controls as to where AFETS had to be involved). A couple of months after I left the ROK, the left brake caught fire at EOR and the whole left side was on fire. After months of being repaired its still flying around.

The dirty sister

Brook, Mar 21, 2008 - 04:18 AM

I crewed 8159 from 97-99 and I was always in trouble for my dirty bitch. I loved her and she flew great every flight-unless I cleaned her up-then it was code 2's and 3's for a while.
