05aug15 will land at FRCE for its final shut down ever
I was a mechanic at the DEPOT that did a lot of work and got it through flight test after a crash related to main mounting a bus unsuccessfully on a training mission. Four years of work brought her back as the PhankenPhrog. I dont know how I will react to the silence following shut down. At the Depot we called her Patches. if they could only talk and share the love that was shown to them.
