| IIRC those were ESM or other electronic sensors (think HTS) mocked up for a Weasel aircraft concept. It never went past the mockup stage, and I'm not sure if it even flew like that. |

| I want to say that I've seen that image in a Squadron publication. If memory serves, that is correct...ECM pods for a WW F-16 mock up. The anti-radiation missiles and 2-man crew would lend credence to that theory. |

| Only a mockup? It bet it was a hoot to dress up in flight gear and sit in a static display with closed canopy under the Texas sun and wait for that photoshoot to complete! |
