USAF F-16B FSB #75-0752 has been used as a Wild Weasel testbed in the late seventies carrying an ALQ-119 ECM pod, two fuel cells, two AGM-78 Standard missiles, two AGM-45 Shrike missiles and two datalink pods on the wingtips. However this configuration has never flown operationally although it showed the possibility of using the F-16 as a SEAD platform. [USAF photo]
The wingtip pods are more likely to be a RHAWS like the APR-38 or -47 used on the F-4G, than a datalink.
This function is of course now performed by the ASQ-213 on the F-16CJ.
