82Whitey51 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I know what thier carrying is always of interest to modelers, here's a good look at a couple F-16s with different loads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Cartwright Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Very nice! Not sure if it's been posted already, but here's a similar video of Rafales flying strikes in Iraq: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Those Rafales are a good looking aircraft loaded up. May have to buy a couple more Revell kits.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Cool!! Never seen an F-16 with HARM on wing and GBU on the other. Got couple of Tamiya kits and weapons, will be doing something like in this weapon config :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Cool!! Never seen an F-16 with HARM on wing and GBU on the other. Got couple of Tamiya kits and weapons, will be doing something like in this weapon config :)/> As you say it is interesting seeing the HARM. Hey, we can call it an F-16G? Probably not since it is a one seater. By the way, I always find it interesting that on the TERs they do not load the inner mount. Seen that configuration many times and I am guessing it has to do with the way the munition detaches. If it was there, it may hit the load on the next pylon when released. I may be completely off base here though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 F-16's having been carrying HARM's since the 1980's. Nothing new there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Supposedly the UAE Viper squadron was led by a female, kind of ironic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Supposedly the UAE Viper squadron was led by a female, kind of ironic. Hope she had a burka or at least a head covering on. Very ironic, not sure about the UAE but I know in Saudi, women can't even drive. I think the other gulf states are a bit more progressive though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 F-16's having been carrying HARM's since the 1980's. Nothing new there. Yes, the but most of the times the HARMs were loaded in pairs. This loadout with AGM-88 on one wing and a pair of JDAMs on the other wing is what makes it interesting.

spejic Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hope she had a burka or at least a head covering on. I believe women pilots traditionally wear helmets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siesta3 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Looks like all F-16CMs from Misawa - interesting enough that PACAF F-16s are flying with ACC F-22As from Langley and USAFE F-15Es from Lakenheath. By the way these loadouts were also used during the Libyan Air Campaign by Shaw and Spangdelham F-16s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Misawa F-16's and Langley F-22's, sounds like the Avalon airshow got serious. Any pics of the F-22's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Those Rafales are a good looking aircraft loaded up. May have to buy a couple more Revell kits.... You know, I totally agree. I'm not a fan of them although they're nice a/c. But to see them in a loadout; They are awesome looking. And something about multiple drop tanks makes an a/c look more brutish. I'm with you; I think a Revellogram Rafale is in my future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 F-16 is a good example of that. It looks very mean with 2 tanks on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nev Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I love Vipers with asymmetric loads, but never seen it with a HARM/JDAM combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 F-16 is a good example of that. It looks very mean with 2 tanks on I totally agree. Heck; Even though it takes the sleek look away, I love the look of the fastpacks on Israeli F-16Is and Greek F-16Ds: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
