I was the prior Crew Chief for this aircraft. Several months after being reassigned the aircraft crashed into a mountainside. Although it was assigned to 43 TFS, the pilots flying were from the 18 TFS whose primary missions were ATG. This was common when the 18th did not have enough FC Acft for the daily schedule. Cause of accident was Target Fixation during a practice bombing run.
