And I thought AIR WARRIOR 85 was a \"Bitch\" :(
We had to replace 4 fuselage fuel bladders :cry: :cry:

Nothing like trying to put a rubber swimming Pool into a \"Small square hole\"..
That was a really \"Fun\" TDY.

I hope it gets better for you folks out there, \"Broke Dick\" TDY's SUCK!

Coach then this must have happened twice because when I was told about this incident back when we were converting from the F-100 to the A-10 in 1979 it was from a General Electric Tech.Rep. by the name of Dale Winters or a Fairchild Tech. Rep. by the name of Bob "Tiger" Stevens.

Do those names ring a bell with anybody out there :?:


It may have happened earlier as well. Yes, I remember Bob Stevens from Bentwaters.

you know it just amazes me how how this plane can take such a beating. I doubt the b-2 or f-22 could ever fly another day.
