Old Viper Tester Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 F-16As at Red Flag, October 1989 at Nellis AFB. This was a sort of farewell tour for the A models of the 69th "Dragons", the squadron transitioning to Block 40s at the end of the year. The squadron itself was soon to change from the Dragons to the 69th Fighter Squadron "Werewolves" along with a new unit patch. One of the rationales for the squadron change was that the 339th Dragons (from which the 69th sprang?), a previous 347th Fighter Wing component, and since been resurrected at Robins AFB as the Warner-Robins Logistics Center test squadron. Wouldn't do to have two "Dragons" squadrons, especially in the same state. 80-0566 80-0568, with some weathered inert Mk82 bombs 80-0569 80-0571 80-0578 81-0701 81-0720 81-0727 Thanks for looking Sven 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Sorry, just back from vacation and i LOVE these photos! Wish I had these 6 months ago when I built my F-16A model of 80-0569 using the Bullseye Models for the F-16C's as the markings are just about the same. http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/bma48004.htm Edited July 31, 2018 by Boman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
