MSgt Dave Carlton sent this information to us on 18 January 2010: “I took this picture of our F-16s on the tarmac of Clark AB in the PI in Jan 1989. We participated in the COPE-T exercise. It was just before dawn, about 4:30 AM. We had been up all night working a maintenance problem and had just finished. I named the picture ‘At Ease’. We had been practicing for days in preparation for live missile shoots with the AIM-9. This picture shows the planes at the ready with the Crew Chiefs starting their pre-flights. Ever vigilant, always ready for a fight, Juvats!”
Hi everyone! I was there at Cope T in 1989…what a blast! I was the Ast. DCC on 305 in this photo.
I was at this Cope Thunder and may have a video taken first thing in the morning.
