I worked in the 91st TFS, on R.A.F. Woodbridge from Oct. '91 to Apr. '92. Then, I worked out of hangar 74 from then until I left in May of '93, exactly one week after the last 2 A-10's left for Germany.
281 in Hangar 74, RAF Bentwaters.
943 inspection mode, Hangar 74, RAF Bentwaters.
950 ready for transfer, Hangar 74, RAF Bentwaters.
Transfer dock, Hangar 74, RAF Bentwaters.
I was
a crew chief while I was there (still am). The work I did in hangar
74 is as follows: as the A-10's were scheduled to depart the base,
I was in a team of about 20 to 25 who would do a "transfer
inspection" on them. It was basically an inspection to ensure
the quality of the aircraft for it's next duty assignment. Sure
do miss the time that I have spent there. That hangar hasn't
changed much since I worked in it. I remember in the winter the
holes in the building didn't keep out the chill very well! Memories
are good though.
