Two NATO E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft crews spent a week at the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, California, in September to help F-16 Mid-Life Update test program experts evaluate the Link-16 datalink system. Arriving from Geilenkirchen, Germany, the two AWACS aircraft and their crews helped Edwards test officials conduct airborne interoperability testing allowing pilots to talk to each other and communicate with those on the ground. Link-16 is one of five avionics and weapons upgrades being tested as part of the overall MLU program. |
