Nate Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Where there any loads with green things under the wings for F-16s's during OSW around 2002? I'm going to build the SW bird on TwoBobs Big Mouth sheet and I can't find any pictures of non Harm loads...say it ain't so! TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it was early OIF or OSW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The GBU-38 wasn't used till 2004 was it? If so (obviously) it would be OIF. I can't help with the loadout though, I've not seen anything other than HARM's and maybe GBU-12's either. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All I know it was pre 2006 since my buddy gave that to me before he had his last F-16 flight and was on that deployment. Check out F-16.net albums as well as Defense imagery and search for operation southern watch, f-16c. I found some good shots.

siesta3 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The only non SEAD load out that was flown on Block 50/52s F-16CJs around that time frame was flown by the F-16CJs of the 389th Fighter Squadron from Mountain Home which were dedicated to OEF in Afghanistan. 2002 OSW was still the time frame where we had F-15Cs, F-16CJs protecting F-16CGs, F-15Es, along with the Tornados. However the Shaw jets deployed to Saudi Arabia in 2003 for the OSW-OIF transition and after the first week started flying with JDAMs and WCMDs in mixed strike/SEAD flights. Cheers.

Nate Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks for the help guys - I'll fudge the timeline, I like the 2001 loads w/the gbu-12s and will go with that...it's so hard to find pics of 91-0379 from the twobobs sheet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something green but not gravity driven. Now for some Orange Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Burnout55th Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Most F-16 units (at least Shaw AFB) were SEAD jets. But they would have had ones loaded with either MK-82 or MK-84's at that time frame. I was over there in 2000 with the 55th FS from Shaw and we only flew HARMs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
