This ons is called "Mehospas" (מחוספס) in hebrew. its tracking laser pointed ground targets that lased by ground forces. the aircraft can use GBU-24 laser guided bombs with this pod. Another issue - this F-16A block 10 with 246 sign has changed his number to 140 and became the leader of 140sqn. Every sqn in the IAF has a leader aircraft that has its sqn number. just like 253sqn with Sufa 253 or 116sqn with Netz 116.

I think this is 80-0624 (but could be 80-0623?)

Serial should be 78-0083. Marked 174 TFW during the summer 1991.

88-0399. At the time used by the 480th FS / 52nd FW from Spangdahlem AB, Germany. This aircraft was so marked for the 1992 or 1993 Farnborough air show.

Looking at the tail band, it might be mid-Nineties, about half a decade later this bird received the first version of the Dirty Diana tail, Thus making it an F-16A from 323 TACTESS, Leeuwarden AB.

Judging from the tail band it must be the Leeuwarden Wing - - 322/323 Sq.

"Pave Penny" laser spot tracker-pod.

Sorry can't remember tail number but I was on the ramp when this pic was taken. I probably worked on this tail at some point. The pic was commemorating the arrival of the Block 25.

Its 163570

I think it is 80-0624 (enlarging the photo it looks like the first numbers are 80)

This is a GD F-16A Fighting Falcon from Royal Norwegian Air Force. Picture taken at ENVA/Trondheim Værnes Airport in Trondheim, Norway.

An aircraft does not need to be at supersonic speeds to cause this effect. It can be achieved at near super sonic speeds at low altitude in the right weather conditions. This F-16 looks to be an early block aircraft (1,5 or 10)and has the drogue parachute. Cool shot.
