This topic was already started on a different thread by Jake Melampy but want to create a dedicated topic.

Any one have any information on when the 445th FLTS began operations with the F-16? Public affairs for Edwards AFB is unable to determine when the unit began F-16 operations.

I am assuming this is all very, very new as so little information is available and as of yet no aircraft are known to be painted with 445th FLTS markings.

Thank you Jake for providing the initial information about this squadron!

What happens with the 412FLTS? Will (has?) it disband? Or will they separate the testing between the 412FLTS for A/B/MLU and the 445FLTS for C/D?

84-1317 has the 445th Tail Flash

Please don’t ask me how Eddy is organized because it keeps changing and I can’t keep up. Embarassed

Back when I left Edwards in 2003 the 445 took over the TPS orange and white F-16's. The 412th still had all of the grey jets. Then once I left the F-22 "chase jets" 86-0359/83-1118 and 83-1119 also went to "Shadow" the 445th F-16 Unit. Please correct me if I am wrong. That is just what I remember.
