This Block 30 Fighting Falcon is USAF serial 85-1373. The F-16N was newly delivered to the US Navy on 23 June 1987 and started to serve Top Gun from NAS Miramar (CA). After a lot of dog fights, the Falcon arrived at AMARC on 30 June 1994 for storage. It received inventory code AN1F0003. On 13 March 1998 it was transferred to the USAF at AMARC and received a new inventory code; AAFG0426. The airframe was sadly scrapped on 9 August 2013.
