The beginning of my pictures can be found here: http://photos.yahoo.com/thelastraven13. I will probably need some space Weasel, still trying to sift through all of them, though. Thanks for all the welcome backs everyone. And 30MM, I'll get you a snail mail addy as soon as I have a permanent one, I'm between assignments right now...stopped in to visit my folks for a few weeks.

Raven..... Great pictures... You have the first picture I've seen since getting out in 98 of my old jet. I'm glad to see she's still flying. Ever heard the story about her and what she used to be called when she was stationed in England? "The bean grazer"... |

Thanks for sharing those pictures, they are really nice, I look forward to the next batch. Thats the first time I've seen a 'Panther' jet with the new gold fin cap (pic 38/gun reload) I'd love to hear about the story of the 'Bean Grazer<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> |

Dice: Once I get to Nellis and settled in I can burn you a CD and send 'em to you... Chief966: Nope, never heard her called that. In my two years at Spang, she was always called Princess, and treted like one when time allowed. For a while before we went to Bagram, my jet (951) and Princess were the two best looking jets on the line, sometimes nicer than whatever had just rolled off the wash rack. I'd love to hear the story, though. BaconBits: My jet was the first one to get the "gold" stabs, and I hated them. For some strange reason, she got home and they were black again...how odd, huh? --Raven "'When it comes to my turn, will you want me to go?'

I just said nationals...you know, the nationals that were there. *shrug* It really is tough to tell what happened for sure...all I saw was saw newspaper, packing tape, sand paper, and spray paint laying on a B-1 stand..... --Raven "'When it comes to my turn, will you want me to go?'

Raven! Well the story as I've heard it, goes something like this. Actually, I heard it from the crew chief of 951 at the time. (Tim Boney).... He had heard that 966 was on a routine sortie and had IFE'd for a right side hydraulic system failure. The pilot had forgotten to pull the emergency brake handle before landing. When he touched down, he sailed off the runway into a bean field. Hence the nickname "bean grazer". Thought it was an interesting story, and I was always promised pictures of the carnage. I had heard that they changed out one of the wings. Never saw them though. |

Chief: Sounds similar to the story of 985, which parked on the golf course one day, shortly before I arrived at Spang. If you dig back through the forum, I know there is a story about that around here. --Raven "'When it comes to my turn, will you want me to go?'

It must have been about early 2000 it happened? I like the rest of the pictures Raven....jbpig might remember 951, it began its career with the 91st TFS 'Blue Streaks' at 'Woody' Edited by - Bacon Bits on Mar 26 2004 5:01 PM |

Bacon Bits: 985 is back flying...got her back abot 16-18 months ago if I recall correctly. Lot of gremlins at first, but she straightened up at/after Bagram. --Raven "'When it comes to my turn, will you want me to go?' 'For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son.'" |
