Narrative:

On jan 1997, I replaced a right nose tire on a F100 aircraft for low tire pressure. The low pressure of 50 psi required the left tire to be changed in sympathy. When drawing tires from storage we inadvertently drew an F100 and an F28 nose tire from the same pile. Both tires fit the axle and were torqued per F100 maintenance manual. The logbook reflected both tires to be F28 tires by part number. The F28 tire, #1, was replaced at the next maintenance station with no maintenance or delays.
