Ground Zero
USAF #91401
F-16C Block 52
Wore 13 mission markings and 4 HARM markings for Operation Enduring Freedom. The nose art is of a fireman at ground zero reaching for a soldier and large american flag.The art work is by TSgt. Robbie Leist and SSgt. Chad Marks. However, the 389 did not fire any Harms during OEF, so the HARM markings are from previous OSW deployments.

Callsign of the day

Callsign "Magnum"

During primary flight school in the Navy, my "roomie" was going out on a hot date. He asked if I could loan him some "supplies" just in case. Told him, "what's mine is yours". He exited the bathroom and asked, "Very funny, what am I supposed to do with this. Wear it in lieu of a raincoat?" We both laughed until we hurt. I think he told to story to someone and it got around the base. Hence my callsign was assigned. It followed me my entire career.
