Question

Hi there! My (late)dad is Douglas Widmar, his beloved was an f-16 falcon, “jet number 234”. He retired in 2005 or 2006. He passed away in 2017. Can there only be one “234 F16” or do they replace them sometimes? Not sure how it works. He worked at selfridge ANG in Michigan. Could ya’ll tell me if this one in the pictures was his? And if there are any other pictures of it, I’d love to see and/or purchase them! Just missing my dad and looking for anything I can from him.Thank you so much!

Best wishes,

Emily Widmar
