Unmarked but assigned to the 176th Fighter Squadron, 115th Fighter Wing, commanded by the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

Quite clear to what Air National Guard this Fighting Falcon belongs to! In Dec'17, the USAF announced that the 176th was one of two ANG squadrons selected for equipping with the F-35A. This F-16C was moved to the 121st FS of the District of Colombia ANG in September 2022.

Quite clear to what Air National Guard this Fighting Falcon belongs to! As of 2023, the 176th is converting to the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, with its first 5th gen jets having arrived on 25 Apr'23. The squadron previously operated these fine F-16C/D Fighting Falcon between 1993 and 2022.

During our visit in May 2017, the 176th Fighter Squadron had a mix of F-16 tails in its inventory, two Colorado ANG aircraft, two Vermont ANG aircraft, all in full marks of their former owner. There were several unmarked F-16s, and of course the fully marked F-16s of the squadron itself. Some were furnished with a Badger tail, some carried the distinctive 'WI' tailcode, and even those were deviant from eachother: light grey and black markings. And check the difference between the Wisconsin fin on top of the vertical tail. The squadron is now flying F-35As.
