habu2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Was GD helping in the design process of the Lavi? Not officially, but the similarity of many of the design elements is not a coincidence. The Lavi programreceived massive funding from the U.S. until its capabilities started to threaten the F-16 export market. At that point US funding was cut off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Here's one from the wayback machine: I chased the 191 FIG's full color station wagon all over Michigan in the summer of 1991 trying to catch her in bright sunshine in a place I could get a photo! I ended up at Selfridge, and thanks to the help of a couple of 171 FIS folks, got out to the last chance area for some pics. This is F-16B 82-1026 in the first iteration of her Six Pack markings.

bdt13 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So Speed Hunter Graphics has announced a 1/32 decal sheet with a 180th FW plane (block 42) in 5th Gen Have Glass paint. This is not a WHIF. Anyone have pics they can share of this bird? I had thought that this scheme was going to be confined to Viper units with a SEAD/DEAD mission. Has the mission of this unit changed, or is the scheme slated for wider use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Many Block 40/42 units are flying with HTS pods these days, hence even more multipurpose than before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Al Ain Air Championship. Aircraft was prepped for airshow by stripping all the equipment off to sanitize it and make it suitable for public photography, and adding the smoke gernerators. Its funny to me how when I'm back home in the states, I live about an hours drive away from the F-16 plant, and I drove an hour away from where I'm living over here in the desert to shoot these pics.
