This one is 87-0255 - "Big Inlet" F-16C Block-30.
The "NY" ANG has been flying four different F-16 Blocks over the years:
Initially "small tail" F-16A/B Block-10s - the ones they took to play in "Desert Storm".
Then in 1992/93 they converted to "Big Inlet" Block-30 F-16C/Ds, the majority coming from the de-activating 56 FW at MacDill AFB, FL.
Then, in late 1998 they converted to P&W powered Block-25 F-16C/Ds -"swapping" planes with the 149 FW / 182 FS "SA" Texas ANG, and finally in 2003 they received Block-30s - again - this time "Small Inlets", however, from the 185 FW / 174 FS "The Bats" of the Iowa ANG as they sadly converted to KC-135Es.
