Old Viper Tester Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) F-16XL-2, 75-0747, operated by the F-16XL Combined Test Force, 6510th Test Wing, Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB. Images are from a mission flown on 7 April 1983, possibly the only mission with this configuration. Streamlined fairings are installed on the wingtips in place of the 16S210 AIM-9 launch rails. Over Rogers Dry Lake on straight-in final approach to Runway 22. Thanks for looking, Sven Edited December 10, 2019 by Old Viper Tester 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Amazing pics, I can't say I've ever seen a shot of the underneath of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sven, Thank you for posting. F-16XL-2 is a future build. Have kits to do both the single seat and the tandem seat. Though I have the intention to making the XL-2 with the cranked wing and the hump on the back where the gun drum went. Again thank you.
