Via e-mail --  Regarding the F-16C Fighting Falcon picture on the front cover of your 2010 Torch Calendar, I was excited to see the aircraft's tail number is 9154. I was the dedicated crew chief for that jet for three years. I spent many long nights maintaining that aircraft and am proud to say it maintained a 96 percent mission capable rate up until the time I left to work in quality assurance.

You guys at Torch managed to take a fantastic picture of my pride and joy, and I love having the photograph and copies of the calendar for me and my family. Thank you very much! My family and I will continue to enjoy it.
