The South Dakota ANG is the proud owner of 175th FS Bulldogs. The F-16CM/DMs are painted in the Radar Absorbing Have Glass colours. Five aircraft arrived at Volk Field during Exercise Northern Lightning 2017 for just a lunch break during their air-superiority mission over nearby Wisconsin ranges. This Viper is armed with AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missiles on wingtip weapon stations 1 and 9, and underneath the wings (stations 2 and 8), the newest Sidewinder version, the AIM-9X is placed. Underneath the centre fuselage (station 8), an ALQ-184 Electronic Counter Measures pod is attached.

The Lightning II, I still name it a cameleon... it does not matter from what angle you take a picture of the stealthy aircraft, its grey color, the (sun) glance, the additional Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) lines (that look like duct tape over fuselage panels), the canopy and so on... this all look always different.

Old and beautiful, a Talon of the USAF during its take-off from Volk Field. Five T-38As of Langley AFB (VA) participated in exercise Northern Lightning 2017 and acted as Red-Air.
