Edwards And Top Gun Get F-16s
|
|
 The first two of nine refurbished F-16s joined the F-16 Combined Test Force at Edwards AFB, California, in January. The aircraft arrived from the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. The aircraft, low-hour A and B models built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, replace some of the older F-16s at Edwards. The aircraft will perform photo chase, high-alpha testing, and test support missions for various test forces. The jets will also be used to train students at the USAF Test Pilot School. Similarly, NAS Fallon in northern Nevada took delivery of the first of fourteen F-16s last October. These aircraft, also retrieved from storage, are being used as Aggressors for dissimilar air combat training at the Naval Air Warfare Center at Fallon. |
