Photo Comment

Please note the 'Miss Majestic' artwork of the Michigan Air National Guard, 107th FS, on this very early and fully armed version of the F-16A. Once this aircraft was struck by lightning on the McConnell AFB ramp, it is also believed to be the first F-16 to carry nose art. Nowadays it is displayed in the Selfridge Museum.
