Argentina formalizes acquisition of Danish F-16 fighters
Danish Minister of Defense, Troels Lund Poulsen, arrived in Argentina on March 26 to seal the agreement for the purchase of 24 to 28 F-16MLU fighter jets, decommissioned by the Danish Air Force (RDAF), putting an end to the exaggeratedly long search for a supersonic multi-role fighter for the Argentine Air Force (FAA).

F-16C Block 25
A rare shot illustrating the nuclear role of the F-16: a USAF F-16C from the 10th TFS at Hahn AB in Germany seen carrying a BDU-38 simulator (B-61 nuclear dummy). The aircraft was participating in the weapons training deployment Exercise Sabre Thunder over the Bardenas-Reales Range on June 1st, 1988.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Circle K"
One lone night at a Cricle K store was a little drunk....too much....sat down outside and refused to leave wanting to sleep it off....our Safety Officer said put him in my white Dodger....which they did....except it was the wrong white dodger.....the young lady that owned it was kind enough to take me home and let me sleep it off (I was a gentleman with her.) The next day she drove me back to the base. We dated for a while till I changed duty stations.
