Best Friends Brent Marston, Terrance Steele, Jose Escarcega, Dana Lally, Chris Hanzlick, Rob Freeland, Bob Lockard, Jeff Harter, Pete Gallagher, Don Lozano, Jody Law, Ken Rhoades, Jeff Barton, and so many others...
Best Moment Hitting over 400 flight hours one month. Having almost every instructor qual. Still a QAR. 10 GSE licenses?. Flying regularly. Still an NSI and NATOPS Instructor.
Worst Moment Having 22 planes. Having one A/C have a FADEC wiring problem and take off from it's spot on the line when switching from FADEC A to FADEC B.
Chain of Command Col 'Coach' Kane was okay. Col Mark Clark was excellent. MGunz Jeff Harter and Johnny McCray always fought hard for the maintainers and fewer flight hours until the planes became more reliable.
Other Memories Work, Work, Work. Lots of EI's. A plan for all work centers to make more CDI's, and being thread bare with experience and quals after stand-up of the 3rd VMM squadron.
