“I was a crew chief in the United States Air Force and worked on jet fighter aircrafts. I did my basic training in Texas, did my on the job training here at Luke Air Force Base on the F100 airplane. I also served 12 months in Vietnam. After Vietnam, I went to North Carolina and spent the rest of my four years there. I received an honorable discharge from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro North Carolina. The first airplane I was on was the F-100 Super saber. I have fond memories of my 4 years serving the United States Air Force”. Tony Muscarello
