Col David Sawyer's, commander 23 TFW, aircraft was battle damaged on three different
occasions, one being the "Golden BB" hitting the
front windscreen, and the last
being the infamous "300 holes" time as a result of an SA2 hit on
15 Feb 1991 that hit both rudders and took the right elevator off. The photo's that show
"NO" on the tail were taken after we installed
verticals from 76-0540. We
had it back in the air flying in 7 days.
