I remember when triple nick came thru Mildenhall about 10yrs ago.... had a fuel cell issue... the USAFE guys towed it in and out of the barn three times (saying it was fixed?)..... AFSOC had enough of the "towing practice"..... sent in a dedicated AFSOC team... a/c was FINALLY fixed and flown home.

I think I was her DCC at the time. Was heading home from Kuwait, and I was schedule for cross-training to engineer. Had to leave her behind, and it broke my heart! Also, I had to de-rig her Fulton gear later during one of the breaks in my year-long retraining schedule....again broke my heart to do THAT!

Umm... Wow, that totally sounds like how fuel problems still go down over here today. The price of being a tenant unit I guess.

worked them both and both were great airplanes. Nickel was mine as DCC when I cross trained to Engineer

Just attended the dedication of 0567. She looks good, and I am damned proud to have been assigned to her at a crew chief. It was good to see some faces from the past also.
