Aviation Maintenance Tech

When aircraft 72-1299 first arrived at Yokota AB I was assigned as the first Crew Chief 1976 to 1978. It was like getting a new car to maintain. After working all the 62 and 63 model herks at CCK AB, Taiwan, Tan Son Nhut AB, Vietnam and Kadena AB, Okinawa, I moved to Yokota with the old herks, after a year at Yokota In comes 1299 She was mine to Crew for the rest of my tour there. Only four years old not many cosmetic issues. Was a great aircraft took me to many destinations in the pacific. I once maintained aircraft 62-1841 sadly to read here it crashed into the ocean in Guam.
