79-0413 was decomissioned sometime in 1992 or 1993. It was sent Tyndall AFB as a ABDR bird until it was finally destroyed.

What an AWESOME SHOT!!!! Beautiful!!!! The definition of POWER!!!!

I crewed this jet in the 613th at Torrejon and later crewed it at the 480th FS at Spangdahlem when TJ closed. It was a code 1 flyer.

A bit surprised it seems to smpile and yet useful.

My comment is this all my fellows who are there on their duty they should work hard with honesty and pure

This aircraft needs to be added to the 179th's F-16 database. I think it's the only one not linked in.

That's 81-0901, not 0902. :-)

Is the comm door open? O_O

This picture is actually taken when 407 was parked on parking spot A5 on the old 906th parking ramp at Wright-Patt.

This picture was taken by 134FW pilot "TRAP" on Sept 12,2001. Flying in F-16C 83-1159 is "BEAR". At the time full time technician Dale Walker was the Crew Chief.

This was the VTANG/134FW Commander's jet. Maintained by full-time technician, Crew Chief, James Sanford. He was an F-15 Crew Chief prior to working at VTANG.

IRAQ.

I recieved this acft. from the factory it had 20 hours on it.

I got my ride in this jet during Maple Flag 2000 when this photo was taken. Mine was one of the last rides of the TDY, and this jet flew code 1 for the entire 2 weeks flying two incentive rides per day. We pulled 9.2 G's twice with a centerline and surprised a small fishing boat on one of the local lakes. I could see all of the boat passengers' faces very clearly. It was a great ride and I didn't puke!! Thanks, Col. Solonman!

I was the first Crew Chief assigned to 86-0292 at Luke AFB, AZ. at the 944 TFS in 1987. 275851

How can I purchase this photo? No word is in the picture.

LOVE THIS!!!! VERY COOL!

I'm from PR and it feels good to know we had F-16's but it's kinda sad to know that they're on storage now. I just hope the 198th put them back to service.

Thouse are definately 23rd, 408, 419 and 464. I was CC out there when we transferd out blk 32's from Torrejon, SP to these, Blk 50's, if I recall. Got an insentive flight in that one. JB

This was my assigned jet when i got to the 524th

Nice. picture, I remember that day. The pilot was Capt. Bland Smith. I have a copy of this picture and a few ground pics prior to the flight. I was the crew chief on this plane. The first crew chief assigned to it. I remember th jet well. It's still my favorite tail.

I remember loading munitions on this aircraft

i received this aircraft from the 61 st fighter squadron and it was later painted in 56 th fighter wing colors. i was wing commanders crew chief for 2 years with this aircraft.

Crewed her for a couple of years...really sad to see her decommissioned.. got my one and only ride in 506.. think we overlaped 6months at Luke clukey in 92

I had the joy of crewing this jet after it made its way to nellis afb. But now im out and what I have heard is that no one is taking care of her anymore... Its a shame. When I crewed her, she was a great jet. Its just to bad.
