Hi all - remember me? I'm still out here, but with some pretty "booked up" weekends between a new job (finally) and the kids soccer games.

Wanted to jump online to give everyone a bit of a preview of a project that I've been working on with Scott Brown of Afterburner Decals (http://www.afterburnerdecals.com/) for the past three or four years. Finally off to the printers is the first accurate decal representation of the Torrejon AB-based, and Doha, Qatar deployed 401st TFW(P) "Forgotten 1000" and 614th TFS Lucky Devils Desert Gulf War Vipers!

1,303 sorties by 28 aircraft, dropping 3.7 MILLION pounds of weapons in just 42 days. Yeah, it's my old jets!

F-16D 86-0047    13 Combat Missions   Only two seat F-16 to fly combat missions during Desert Storm - if you have seen air-to-air photos/video of F-16's during the war, this is where they came from.
