All,
Can anyone tell me where the manufacturers data plate is located on an F-16 please? For example, if you were stood alongside an F-16 that had no markings (tail number etc) on it, which panel can you open to find out which particular airframe it is?
Regards
Mark |

| The data plate is mounted just aft of the pilots left shoulder in the cockpit. |

| Thanks Racer181. What if you can't get to look in the cockpit? |

To be concise, some Taiwanese and I are "having fun" with looking for the C/N (construction number) plates on the retired Taiwanese F-104s displayed in public in Taiwan.
http://www.i-f-s.nl/index87.htm
I checked the Scramble/Dutch Aviation Society site for clues WRT the F-104 and other aircraft that the ROCAF operated/operates (F-5, F-86, Mirage 2000, T-33, &c), and noticed the Scramble list for Lockheed at
http://wiki.scramble.nl/index.php/Const ... 9#Lockheed
doesn't seem to include the F-16.
Does anyone here have descriptions and photos of where the C/N plates are in or on a F-16?
I read the other thread at
http://www.f-16.net/index.php?name=PNph ... p;p=200845
and it doesn't help much. |
