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]

J-79 Testbed
Modified as F-16/79 with a General Electric J-79 engine. This engine was tested as a low-cost and lower-thrust alternative for non-NATO allies. The project never materialised because the standard Pratt & Whitney F-100 engine was made available to all who could pay for it under the Reagan Administration.

Some guys gave the jet 'NAVY' titles and an NFWS badge on the tail to make some generals nervous.
