Hello all, My name is Robert Dunkelbarger

[Kneeling Warrior]

Hello all,
My name is Robert Dunkelbarger; most people just call me Dunk for short.
I am prior Navy, always a carrier sailor when aboard a ship and stationed at Naval Supply Depot Guam and also at Sub base Pearl Harbor Hi. for shore duty.
I am an F-16 pit builder; I have just recently started building my third Pit because I am a bit of a perfectionist.
I am using Jason (Killin) English's Pit Plans.
I have collected many real parts, however all of the panels in my pit are made by Mike (Kabar3) Williams they are laser engraved and top notch. The only panel that will be the real Panel is the Oxygen Regulator, and that is because I have a real one bought from well known parts provider Jim (Feathers) Keane.
I manufacture Replica parts as well for Simulators both for my own pit as well as for others.
I attend the I/ITSEC convention every year in Orlando Fl as an exhibitor with AeroTronics.
I have been a member of the ViperPits forums for about 4 years.
I will start a Pit building Thread here to show my progress if it is so desired by the moderators and the community here.

Welcome Dunk

Would love to see a f-16 thread here. That would be a sweet distraction from Boeings and buses

And would love to see pictures of your products. I have a friend who is an f-16 fanatic and maybe I could turn his mind into building an f-16 sim

The USS D.D. Eisenhower CVN-69 my second duty station


Me on the IKE, in our berthing area, and signal bridge.
All pictures are me except the middle right, that was my best friend David (Dinkman) Ferguson, that is me in the middle left sitting on the flag bag. That was back when I was a yungen.



Our Mail Plane having engin work done, while I was aboard the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70, my third duty station.
The ship was brand new then, but now it is considered old.

Here is a view from my world.

Welcome Dunk, great to have you with us.

Good pics - that's a fascinating business you got there ..... clearly, you're pretty comfortable with heights!

Look forward to seeing the F16 as it comes along.
