First flown on 15 Sep'88 and delivered to the 614th TFS at Torrejon (Spain) in Oct'88. Became a Desert Storm veteran in 1990 and was transferred to the 120th TFS "Mile High Militia" on 15 Jan'92. In May'05, this Fighting Falcon became the squadron bird and received 120 FS marks, large on its tail. The aircraft received more spectacular markings in Sep'05 when it was furnished for the 2005 Tiger Meet. From June 2023 it was again used for special markings, a scheme to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the squadron. In Apr'24, the F-16 was moved to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron 'WA'.
