Representative Les AuCoin holds a press conference for F-16 fighter aircrafts
Description
Representative Les AuCoin at a press conference concerning the delivery of F-16s to the Oregon Air Guard. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "Press conference after delivering F-16 fighters to the Oregon air guard. As a member of the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, I won an amendment to station high tech F-16 fighter aircraft with the Oregon Air Guard. On the occasion commemorating the event, I flew in one of the jets. Somewhere over Crater Lake, the pilot asked me if I wanted to do a "belly roll". I said, "Maybe another time."" This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
