Thank you for you patience.

Sparkchaser comes from my first job at Lockheed as an electrician on the F-22, I was a weapons guy on F-16s along with A-10s and B-52s.

I wonder why the majority of us (former maintainers) are either weapons of crew chief. We got two fuel shoppers, one electrician, but the majority is weapons or crew chief. Is anyone back shopper (sheet metal, ammo, engines, etc.) or Specs? POL? We have a airborne POL :D ( Hey Sierra99)

One thing is for sure, Crew Chiefs and Weapons were definitely involved with the aircraft on a day to day basis, I did more electrical work on A-10s & B-52s compared to F-16 which always had more dedicated electricians for those jobs.

 

 

Some pics from my 1st Korea trip, good ol Kunsan.

Note how the left and right "horizontals stabs" are the same just painted differently. So the static dischargers on the left stab are on top while on the right are on the bottom.
