| The one on sta 4 looks like a dummy/trainer missile. I really wanna call photoshop on this pic but I don't know. I have yet to see an F-16 carry munitions on sta 4 & 6 with my own eyes but I've seen a few of pics of them doing so. Looks bad a$$ though. They should have put some 120s on sta 2 & 8 for the all out hell of it. |

| Yes, its been flight tested. Although, I don't believe it is a currently approved weapons loadout. |

Looks like a nice SAM hunter that way, always loved SEAD aircraft. An honorable job that helps save your strike packages.  |

That is an Edwards Flight Test F-16. In Flight Test you get to fly specific Flight Test loads that are not in the books. 4 AGM-88 are not a real world load.
Cheers,

| And the only reason to fly them is to provide data for future inclusion in the cleared loadings list. |

Currently approved weapons loadout or not real warload, IT LOOKS AWESOME, ARMED TO THE TEETH!  Happy SAM hunting!
(BTW I'm not much a fan of SAM's) 
Is it there a Viper with most confirmed SAM kills? I've seen lots of HARM markings, just asking. |

LOL, Timmay; "...for the all out hell of it."
IMO, an ultimate anti-TOR M-1/C-300 sys would be a booster-ER kit on AGM-88E for at least 250km range. Launch an upgraded MALD, with ability to transmit coordinates of ground radar sources back to F-16. Then fire away as many of the AGM-88E-Rs as that F-16 can rail! Maybe add a couple extra on the tips for good measure?? |

You are right, this is Edwards testing ac, not a photoshop fake - it was scanned from some [Link pending approval] a lot, I only wanted to know if it is a approved load on block 50´s - there are many pics of b60 carrying four Harms, but it is probably testing too  |
