Low pass of a Belgium F-16AM over Gilze Rijen air base. The Viper showed its wings to some photographers during a local spotters day.

The Belgiums are known to create fine Tiger color schemes on their F-16s. This 31 sqn "Tijger" Viper received some extra paint in support of the 50th anniversary of the NATO Tigers.

Full AB, always a great sight!

Touch down! Wisconsin Air National Guard F-16C of the 176th Fighter Squadron burns some rubber on the concrete of Volk Field during Exercise Northern Lightning 2017.

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.

Wisconsin is known as the Badger state, and Truax Field, home of the 176th Fighter Squadron, is situated very close to the capital of the State, Madison. So the Air National Guard squadron proudly wear a Badger tail design and a red Madison fintip, both to show respect to the State and Capital. In the ready room of the squadron, a taxidermy Badger can be found. And the tradition is that a pilot touches this Badger before every flight.
