This old F-16A, former USAF serial 92-0409 is also former AMARC with inventory code FG0039. It arrived there as a brand-new aircraft on 20 December 1993 after the USA embargoed its delivery to Pakistan (planned as serial 93-740). It was stored for some years, and then transferred to the US Navy as an adversary aircraft. It left storage on 30 April 2003 and was assigned to the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at NAS Fallon (NV). The picture was made while the center was just redesignated into Naval Air Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC). This Viper still carries the old designation.
