USAF #75747F-16XL/B
One of the original F-16A Full-Scale Development aircraft. The aircraft crash landed on Rogers dry lake bed at Edwards AFB due to a blown nose gear tire on take off during the annual open house air show. The pilot survived unharmed but very shaken. It was shipped to General Dynamics Fort Worth in a C-5 and rebuilt into the first cranked-arrow F-16XL, flying back to Edwards one year later on December 2nd, 1981. It was later converted into a dual-seat F-16XL/B. First flight in its new configuration was on October 29th, 1982.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Crowebar"
My name is Bill Crowe. For the last 20 odd years I have been called crowebar by my work mates because I am quite strong and can usually force most things open, or undo most tight nuts, screws etc. So if they can't get something open / undone they get the crowebar out!
