This F-16D was temporarily used as a trainer for the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags of the Thunderbirds aircraft), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him.

This Block 52D was first flown on 24 March 1994 and delivered to the USAF's 389th Fighter Squadron at Mountain Home AFB (ID) with 'MO' tailcode in April 1994. From October 1995, it was assigned to the 57th Fighter Wing, 16th Weapons Squadron at Nellis. In February 2021, the dual seat F-16 was transferred to the 157th FS of the South Carolina at McEntire JNGB.

First flight 16 December 1993 and delivered to the USAF's 157th Fighter Squadron of the South Carolina at McEntire JNGB in January 1994. In March 1996, it was moved to Nellis and assigned to the 57th Fighter Wing. From 3 February 2003, it flew with the 16th Weapons Squadron, this up to Februay 2020, when it was moved to the 24th Tactical Air Support Squadron. When that squadron was deactivated, the F-16C was moved to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron on 20 December 2020, it received a Have Glass colourscheme and an OT tailcode.

Delivered to the USAF on 16 August 1991 and assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis. It continued with the 16th WPS, then 24th TASS, back to 422nd TES and last reported with the 64th AGRS. So the Fighting Falcon never left homebase Nellis so far.

Delivered to the USAF on 11 July 1991.

Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him. Strikingly, odd from the normal digits (1 to 8) in the display circle on the intake of a Thunderbird, this one is carrying 888 in it, so this is serial 92-3888.
