Photo Comment

The North Dakota Air National Guard would retire the F-4 Phantoms in 1990 and replace them with F-16s. This one was withdrawn and stored at AMARC in May 1988. It was scrapped in 1997. Converting to F-16s, the 119th Wing changed their mission in 2007 to reconnaissance and airlift, flying the C-21A (Learjet 35A) and MQ-1 Predator.
