I was glad he "surfaced", as I had very few photos of my old jet. Now, to post the rest of them.

Does Dice have a close-up of the door art? Do you? If the green color didn't give the era away, the gas diverter sure did! Thanks for sharing.

You know Dice is gonna ask as soon as he see's this. :wink:

I recently heard from the guy who crewed my old airplane (80-0248) when it was assigned to Suwon AB in South Korea. He sent me some photos he had of her when he crewed her. I'll see if I can post them here. It's been a while since I've posted photos (or anything else for that matter!) here. Let's see.. My old jet with the Suwon tail code From the nose, naked (no \"Tigers' Teeth!) Skip McCloskey, crew-chief of 0248 at Suwon Skip McCloskey on the ladder. He must be re-enlisting in these series of photos I spent many an hour in this seat! Skip McCloskey with his jet in a revetment. Boots in the inlet??? Skip McCloskey re-enlisting Loaded for practice bear! Skip McCloskey again with his old airplane I'll post more later.

He stumbled across me on Youtube, via the video I'd uploaded of myself launching one of our jets at LeMoore NAS, I believe. He found out I crewed 0248, and told me that was his jet at Suwon. I was glad he "surfaced", as I had very few photos of my old jet. Now, to post the rest of them.

It's been so long, I can't remember if he's checking servicing APU oil, or something on the hydraulics. I remember both of those panels, but can't remember what was inside them! Double-shoot! Posing. Gotta love the old gun gas diverter! Ah, memories! The pave penny pod, and the good 'ole 781 forms binder! More posing Moon over Suwon? Post-reenlistment ceremony First step on the ladder

At least, of the door art when I had the jet. I got very few photos of 0248 while I had her. I don't know if Skip McCloskey does. I'll ask him. I think he's got more photos. He just sent me those 27 the other night.

Yeah, somewhere in there. I know it was tested at Wright-Patt in '83.
