This F-16A was involved in the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night test program, it carried a LANTIRN "Havoc in the Night" badge and a LANTIRN pod on station 5R (right hand of intake). Initial Operational Test & Evaluation of the pod was completed in Dec'84. The USAF approved low-rate initial production of the pod in Mar'85. The first production pod was delivered to the USAF in Mar'87. Tests continued. This F-16A was stored at AMARC with inventory code FG0330 on 13 Jul'95. Check the Israeli F-16A in the background (serial 301) which I was not allowed to photograph.
