This brown/sand colored Fighting Falocn of the 64th Agressor Squadron at Nellis has a contrasting tail section, still paintd in primer. The aircraft collided with a Langley F-15C (serial 83-0017) over the Pacific Alaska Range Complex on 11 June 2007. The F-15 crashed but luckily the pilot ejected on time and was rescued, the F-16 pilot managed to land his aircraft safely in Alaska. The aircraft was damaged but repairable and by early November 2007 it was repaired and added again to the 64th. When I took the picture it just arrived from the repair depot at Hill AFB (UT).
