    You can't see in this photo, but the strobe lights on the intake and tail all work. The Mini-F-16 is powered by an 8 HP Briggs & Straton Engine and driven (forward and reverse) by a hydrostatic drive, through the main gear wheels. Nose-wheel steering is used to guide the Mini-F-16, but be sure to brief pilots as it is backwards from a real F-16. The position and strobe lights on the intake and tail all function. The Mini-F-16 was build by Ohio ANG 180FW Technicians with mostly donated materials. It is used for public relations, such as air shows, holiday parades, and other special events. There are some places a real Viper just can't go........
