Photo Comment

Following USAFE service, this F-16A was transferred to the 182nd TFS and later the 111th FIS, both of the Texas ANG. It was moved to AMARC with inventory code FG0394 on 4 Nov'96. It was selected for a lease period to Italy and overhauled at Ogden ALC (UT). The F-16A ADF became temporary MM7256 within the Aeronautica Militare. It returned to the AMARG on 27 Jul'10. It was then selected for the QF-16A aerrial target programme and was taken from the storage depot. It was flown over to Boeing at Cecil Field (FL) by Jun'19 for conversion, it became QF-16A QF-063.
