Al took off one day in 1990 in one of our F-16 ADFs to do an FCF flight after some maint. He had an exciting time when, after
switching to BUC (back-up fuel control), the engine flamed out and the EPU did not start. He set up for a flame-out pattern with windmill RPM power only
and lived to tell the tale. Al wrote a very cool poem in 1999 to commemorate the event entitled I Hate It When That Happens Here it is... This is one of Aileron's ADF F-16 cockpit photos taken in Panama. |
Here are some links to a William Tell 1980 website. Al was one of the WT80 team members. The 194th FIS from Fresno was the 1980 overall winner. A lot of the pictures were taken by Jim McNab and other members of the Fresno team. |
