F-16C Paveway during Desert Storm

[tobias.ehn]

Hey Guy’s, 

 

in the last few days I’ve been doing quite some research on Operation Desert Storm and, as is so often the case, bought my self a new kit  

 

In General, while LGBs were very popular, the F-16C could not yet carry them (no LANTRIN yet) and so often carried either Mk.84 LDGP bombs or cluster Bombs.

My question is: Where there any F-16C Squadrons that used Paveway Laser Guided Bombs during Desert Storm? 388th Tactical Fighter Wing eg. Was the first to use the LANTRIN system during DS, but I couldn’t find any more loading info on it

 

thanks for answering in advance

Yes I have already checked it, one of my favourite sites to start loading research

but well, I haven’t really found anything, that’s why I am asking here

None of the F-16 squadrons carried Paveway LGBs during Desert Storm. The Block 40 F-16C units, 388TFW and 347TFW only had the LANTIRN navigation pod fitted, no targeting pods.

Thanks for the Info!

the kit contains some Mavericks, they where used quite often by the F-16s however right?

I've seen pictures of Block 40 F-16s carrying them during Desert Storm.
