Boman Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The PIDS pylon came about ~1988. Your question on wether one side or both is time dependant. Initially it was carried on one side, but as time has gone by the benefit of having it on both sides emerged. There are a couple of good threads on this here: http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13871 https://www.terma.com/about-us/doing-business-with-us/customer-stories/f-16/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Our F-16s usually had a PIDS pylon on one side and an EWMS pylon on the opposite side. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
