Ah yes. We would put the parts back on the Can Bird just to get it's wheels off the ground to avoid getting a Hanger Queen designation. Then, back in the Tab-V and the parts went back. Now I remember.

Our Can Bird happened to be the Wing Commanders aircraft. Was POS it was. Weighed about 1000 lbs more than all the other planes because of all the paint jobs to keep it pretty. Had a chrome gun muzzle (A-10) and they would never let us put retread tires on it, only new ones with the white wheels. The crew chief was just like his bird, all spiffied up looking good, but not worth a bucket of warm spit.

What memories.

Sorry. Back on topic now....

Where was this...and do you recall the jet's tail number? I was involved with A-10s earlier in my career...
