Here are some pictures I took at this year's McGuire Airshow. Not exactly sure which block it is, but its one of the above. Enjoy!

Oh no! the batt switch is in main power. I don't remember a bracket with a hole to the left of the HUD

Unfortunately no. Somehow I managed not to get the tail in any of the shots...

There's no seawars on the seat harness, the gauge above the fake REO isn't right either,believe it displayed heading. Lot's of instruments don't seem right. I think it's a full size mock up used for recruiting.

If it's a recent airshow, and it's definitely an A-model, I have a feelin' this is the Folding Falcon. For the life of me I can't find a picture of it anywhere but I KNOW there's one in the database.

I don't think this is a real aircraft. Look how much is fake, the stand-by ADI, REO, Threat warning. Even the side of the cockpit by the throttle looks fake.

I agree. Either that or a stripped down display model.

It was probably this F-16:

75-0745


USAF F-16A #75-0745 is seen at the Luke Days 2007 held at Luke AFB on March 24th, 2007 being used as a recruiting tool. The tail flash says "Do something amazing".

My first Military aircraft I got a chance to paw on was an F-104 Star Fighter with the leading/trailing edges filed off
Yup, they "folded" for truckin - Jackson MI (1975 or 1976) way back in High School. Very Happy

Is it just me or doesn't it have a RWR display?
