jiawei_91 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi all, from my references, I know that early block F-16's had landing lights on the main landing gears, and no landing lights on the nose gear bay door. I also read that post-upgraded MLU aircraft had lights retrofitted to the nose gear bay door. However my sources don't state whether the original landing lights (on the MLG) were removed. Were they removed since they were redundant, or left in place? Thanks a lot! Regards, Jia Wei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boom175 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 A quicl Google image search shows the landing lights removed from the MLG struts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Agreed - as part of the MLU conversion the lights were added to the NLG door, for compatibility with intake pods like LANTIRN, Sniper et al, and removed from the MLG struts. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
