You'd think they learned that trying to turn fight mig21s - doesnt work out

That the reason for training against them, to find out what does and doesn't work before meeting up with them for real.

      Mig-21s actually bleed E very quickly.

I wasn't aircrew however I was a crew chief.

My first assignment was as a O-2A crew chief at Bergstrom AFB TX from 1979-1980



My bird was 67-666.


I was crew chief on this  F-111E  68-005 or "Balls Five" from 1980 to 1983 at RAF Upper Heyford UK.
This photo was taken in the 90s long after I had moved on.



I was also a crew chief on three different A-10s from 1983 to 1991. 77-0278, 77-0284, and 78-0224 at Davis Monthan AFB AZ. Back when they were green.  :D
Here's a shot of one of our squadron birds sitting god knows where . It certainly isn't Arizonza.  ;)

We only have 6 out here at Edwards right now. But we are slated to get more sometime in the future. Our plane has been flying good, but we have a lot of test flights to go.

Awesome  :aok

The 33rd is the trainer squadron for new F-35 pilots so they will be winging up some time next month I believe.

The ones down in Eglin (due to us working out a lot of bugs in the production models) wont fly I think till AF-6 and AF-7 have over 250 hours between them. Right now 6 and 7 have less than a 100 hours between them.
