I painted this jet in Iraq on 86-0357.

I painted this art in Iraq on 87-0328. Same as the 2004 deployment. 86-0357 had "Lethal Injection" painted on it.

I worked this jet from Aug 1995 until Feb 1998. The picture you see shown of the aircraft in the FW configuration was taken during my time assigned to the aircraft and featured in Torch magazine in 1996. This aircraft at the time was the OG aircraft and painted specially for this shoot as the actual Wing Commanders aircraft was assigned to the 63rd and was in Phase at the time. I'll never forget all of the prep work, it was a week of wash rack, paint, prep, and polish. I truely enjoyed my time with this aircraft and miss working the F-16's. Many thanks to my former DCC's on the aircraft during my 3 years on it; Scott "Scooter" Stockdale, Craig Laurel, and Bill Andrews for showing me the ropes as a young airman.

MY BOYS i love the 178thFW Base right here in springfield Ohio near dayton

Excellent F-16 development block right there, via F-2.. JASDF understood how to maximize a production series advancement. I would love to see current USAF block 50s be upgraded further, with Agile-Falcon/F-2 type enlarged wings, added CCV canards and perhaps GE-132 engines. That alone would do the viper respect in terms of potential agility such operational models were intended to perform.

Since no pic of F-16AT apparently exists in gallery, I'll just suggest here that such a modernized Viper variant, derived from the XL and perhaps designated as the EF-16XX, could be justified as a superior EW platform for USAF, filling the gap since EF-111's retirement. With ALQ-218 on wing-tips, improved ALQ-99 High/Low variant, with better aerodynamics, AGM-88E, AMRAAM and CFT for range, it could be most formidable package in AF history. Perhaps 70-80 could be justified to fill this role with potential to adapt the aircraft further for additional procurement, if F-35 for some reason does not recapitalize retiring squadrons as currently projected.

Add GE-132, CCV and thrust vectoring and this would be one heck of a stunt Viper.

the planes parked in the back cannot fly, they are disable to fly. Hugo Chavez is afraid of his own airforce.

Venezuelan President H. Chavez disable the f16 (took vital parts) so his own air force do not try take him out.

Way to go Dave! Proud of ya!

Loaded 88-170 many times as a SSgt Wpns Crew Chief at Pope. Hardly any issues. I can remember when they took the Mayor of Spring Lake, NC up for a ride. Jet came back IFE for Physiological Distress (mayor should've laid off that 2nd helping of pancakes at IHOP :>)!!!! What's up Terry!

Previous to the crash at Homestead AFB, -954 had the Nose gear collapse upon landing at Incirlik AB, Turkey in 1984. It was brougth back to TJ in a C-5 Galaxy, where it was rebuilt and returned to flying status.

The aircraft is from 312 sqn not 306 sqn. 306 sqn is an OCU training unit based in Springfield, Ohio.

It's the Purina Dog Chow F-16!

The guys who draw this had a awesome drawing but was not allow to paint it because the people in charge thought it was to grim, which I thought was a joke. I wish they would have let him draw it. By the way, this was done during 2003 to 2004 deployment. I can not remember the guys last name, first name was Patrick.

The now-retired "wing mounted semi-automatic gun pod". ;-)

My name is Retired Air Force Technical Sergeant Israel "Izzy" Aguila. This jet was my first F-16. I was assigned to it as Assistant Dedicated Crew Chief around February 1992 when I was assigned to my first base "Nellis AFB, NV" and my first active duty unit "Viper". After months of working, shining and wiping it, the T-Birds took it from me :(. It has been a proud T-Bird for years. I was really proud that my jet was good enough to be a T-Bird!

Fantastic artwork
