Photo Comment

This Falcon was delivered as a F-16A to the 50th TFW at Hahn air base (Germany) in early 1983. Following its European tour, it arrived with the 182nd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the Texas ANG and got based at Kelly. It was then partly modified to F-16A ADFand got assigned to the 199th FS (NJ ANG), then 171st FS (MI ANG) and then the 169th FS (IL) before it went into storage at AMARC from 3 November 1994 with inventory code FG0272. It remained in storage up to 29 June 2012 and was sold to Poland for spare part use. Current status unknown.
