[tannerstap]

That's funny. made a tape doing the same thing in 96. Did 40's at Aviano and 30's with the WI ANG.

[Boxcutta208]

Clean your wheels Amn! Take pride! Second wipe, so lazy

[LuyenDarkness]

Beautiful plane. You must've been proud to be with that jet

[eLpeach]

Im so glad they let you do that man it brings back memories and tiers.

[tballo69]

Ha Ha fly by wire try some old school, pulleys, pushrods, turnbuckles man nothing like a whole lot of oil hydro fluid in your hair after working an old school jet! Roll call with knee stains on your uniform no problem. Former F-111 crewchief and Destorm VET. Hell might bought a new uniform with fly by wire!

[MongoSafari]

Thank you for your service.

15 crew chief - Edwards AFB ED82-046

[taans1]

HOLY SHIT 17 flight hours? i have a PW Pacer motor with more than 11480 hours! woooow

[mbraase]

Yeah taans1 - the F-16 engine only had 17 flight hours on it. But you've got to think that these engines are taken out and rebuilt often.

[taans1]

true, but also gotta remember this was in 1990 lol, so most likely this is a brand new jet at macdill considering here at luke our newest jets are from 1990. while shaw now has jets from 2000.

[taans1]

lmao all the 16s are brand new and shit. now they're old as hell, i still love my jet 84-1305

im just a 3 level now :-)

can't wait to progress :-)

[IVW152]

he looks off chops

[54spiritedwill54]

I like the 2 speed brakes, its amazing how something so small and does so little of work could slow that big thing down

[levdeb]

Very cool. I was an F-16 crew chief up in Misawa Japan in 1990-92. 14th FW. Jet 87-332. We were so low on airmen, that I got my own jet (DCC) at 18. Crazy times! I wasn't smart enough to document any of this stuff, so this was cool to watch!!

[GuardTrash]

Weird, I remember you. We went to tech school together and got stationed at McDill. I was in the 62nd.

[austinharding]

wish i was still that enthusiastic

[leesblueyes]

no go wash your wheels... fyi that aug is cracked

[HybridRoninX]

*Sigh*... I work on Block 25's... Wild Ducks.

[janzer10]

Taxi light on the right side. you were right the first time dummy

[Valpocade]

It wasnt me talking :D It was the guy filming one of my buddies a load toad named Justin :)

[fcbayern10]

I love how everyone on youtube is such a aircraft expert, amd claims that they used to be in the millitary.

[PumbaaHH60]

1990 and the 63rd AGS!! I was a weapons load toad in the 63rd in 1990 and went to LSC (in Hangar 2) in 1991. My jet was #344 and I scrubbed the hell outta that thing in washrack!

[wolfen281]

<laughs> I'll have to find the picture of me wearing the Elmer Fudd hat while TDY in Spain.

I was always at Nuke bases so they were always very strict about pictures and such. Plus, all my "newbie" training was on the job at my first base.

[wolfen281]

What? Don't need a camera pass anymore on the flight line? I smell Article 15. Or perhaps an LOR. Good luck newbie.

[Valpocade]

heheheh :-) Ah we had it cleared with MOCC besides it was just a training base LOL. I never wore chem gear until Hill in 94 and rarely worked more than 8 hours at MacDill and always got our ute days.OMG I was a real newbie in this video 3 level wet behind the ears.

[frozenwizard]

its called 3-2-1: three tires, 2 wings, and 1 cockpit good to go send it up.

[Rinnittle]

O_o I like the 2 speed brakes, its amazing how something so small and does so little of work could slow that big thing down :P

[Valpocade]

The resistance that they create can give alot of slowdown really quick. I got two incentive rides and I have never experienced anything like it after. The ultimate thrill ride. The D model 2 seaters almost always have wing tanks but I got lucky and got to pull 9 Gs in a clean one on my second ride.

[Rinnittle]

Very cool, I may want to join the air force one day by watching this lol. :)

[cartmannh]

Cracking stuff - would have liked a look inside the cockpit though.

[Valpocade]

Yeah if I would have had the camera you would have but actually I have many films from the flightline including me riding brakes on a tow. I will have to find the tapes.

[blueturbotc]

Cant go there it is secret. Not allowed to take pics there.

[Valpocade]

There is nothing in the cockpit that cant be photographed :P The only thing on the whole airplane that is classified is the IFF system and the radar absorbent material :)

[Valpocade]

Oh and the nuclear consent system :P

[blueturbotc]

HAHA um on block 50's there is stuff in the cockpit and that door isnt classified. Those tires also last way longer then 6 or 7 flights too. We fly about that many in a day.

[Valpocade]

Its been 13 years since I even touched an F16 :-) I know the mode 2 door isnt classified LOL. I did work on Lantirn F-16s at Hill I worked on all block 30 and block 40 never saw a block 50 or 52 they have Pratt engines

ay? Remember that was MacDill a training base so we never ran the tires down to cord or even close but yeah more than 6 or 7 flights :P

[blueturbotc]

Block 50's have GE's 52's have pratts.
