The one on sta 4 looks like a dummy/trainer missile. I really wanna call photoshop on this pic but I don't know. I have yet to see an F-16 carry munitions on sta 4 & 6 with my own eyes but I've seen a few of pics of them doing so. Looks bad a$$ though. They should have put some 120s on sta 2 & 8 for the all out hell of it.
Yes, its been flight tested. Although, I don't believe it is a currently approved weapons loadout.

Looks like a nice SAM hunter that way, always loved SEAD aircraft. An honorable job that helps save your strike packages.

That is an Edwards Flight Test F-16. In Flight Test you get to fly specific Flight Test loads that are not in the books. 4 AGM-88 are not a real world load.

And the only reason to fly them is to provide data for future inclusion in the cleared loadings list.

Currently approved weapons loadout or not real warload, IT LOOKS AWESOME, ARMED TO THE TEETH! Happy SAM hunting!
(BTW I'm not much a fan of SAM's)
Is it there a Viper with most confirmed SAM kills? I've seen lots of HARM markings, just asking.

LOL, Timmay; "...for the all out hell of it."
IMO, an ultimate anti-TOR M-1/C-300 sys would be a booster-ER kit on AGM-88E for at least 250km range. Launch an upgraded MALD, with ability to transmit coordinates of ground radar sources back to F-16. Then fire away as many of the AGM-88E-Rs as that F-16 can rail! Maybe add a couple extra on the tips for good measure??

You are right, this is Edwards testing ac, not a photoshop fake - it was scanned from some publication.Thanks a lot, I only wanted to know if it is a approved load on block 50īs - there are many pics of b60 carrying four Harms, but it is probably testing too
