any F-16Ds used during OEF/OIF


Recommended Posts

As a general rule, no, since the D has less fuel capacity. I'm sure there have been exceptions, though, and one two-seater claimed the first USAF MiG kill during a OSW mission in 1992. A buddy recently told me that his unit would start bringing their two-seater on future deployments to be used as spare parts.

Hey Jake. I was looking over your ANG Conference CD and I started thinking....the 113th seems to be the only F-16 unit in ACC that has a D-model as its flagship.

That's because it is the only Wing with a Commander that isn't a Viper pilot.

:D Okay, yeah..never thought of that!! Since I've been in the unit I recall 471 and then 476 as our flagships. When 471 was the Wing COs jet, 461 was the Sq COs jet.
