This old F-16A, former USAF serial 90-0946, is also former AMARC with inventory code FG0006. It arrived there as a brand-new aircraft on 16 July 1992 after the USA embargoed its delivery to Pakistan (planned as serial 92-733). It was stored for some years, and then transferred to the US Navy as an adversary aircraft. It left storage on 27 January 2003 and was assigned to the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at NAS Fallon (NV). Here it is seen temporary (?) stored at the base. Some parts are clearly missing, including the engine. It was seen up to fall 2019, fate? This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
