PNW_Modeler Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hey all, Coming back into the mix after a long absence and I can't seem to remember all my usual haunts for research. I am trying to find a few SEAD loadout options for a F-16DJ Any help would be great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 It's going to vary greatly by timeframe and location/conflict. Even which squadron, to some extent. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Are D’s even used operationally anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 As Jmel says, it depends on timeframe; Early on they carried AGM-88's and that was basically it. Later on they carry just about anything; GBU-38 on BRU-57 VER, GBU-12 on TER, GBU-31, GBU-10, LAU-68 on TER, AGM-88 Harm etc. Or a mix of these. So basically you have to decide, and in the end it is your model so you can basically do as you want depending on your accuracy preference 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 To be honest, the Ds are often seen integrated at exercises (Red Flag, NATO exercises) or training flights. They are used to give a normal non-participant an incentive or orientation flight. The jet is missionized, so they just lose a bit of fuel. My point, aside from very rare occasions, you could realistically load it with inert training loads (blue banded weapons) and not catch any flak from the purists. The single seat Cs are more common on the real-world missions. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/91-0475_F-16D_16_Weapons_Squadron_USAF_Weapons_School%2C_based_at_Nellis_AFB%2C_Nevada._(37815460022).jpg https://robbreportedit.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/gamblers1.jpg?w=1024 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weirich1 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 SEAD loadout for an F-16D would be the same as an F16C, no difference due to the extra seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Didn't F-16D get a kill sometime around OSW/ONW? I don't know if they were used in SEAD role, but frankly, they might have been. Still, I donn't think it was even an DJ,, block 40 perhaps. Still, a first aim-120 kill I recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yes it was a block 42 D that got the first AIM -120 kill during southern watch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
