The HAF Zeus demoteam 1st F-16 arriving at AFW22 in style with a combined sneak and dedication pass.

Delivered to the USAF 14 September 1995

This F-16D was temporarily used as a trainer for the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags of the Thunderbirds aircraft), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him.

First flight 16 December 1993 and delivered to the USAF's 157th Fighter Squadron of the South Carolina at McEntire JNGB in January 1994. In March 1996, it was moved to Nellis and assigned to the 57th Fighter Wing. From 3 February 2003, it flew with the 16th Weapons Squadron, this up to Februay 2020, when it was moved to the 24th Tactical Air Support Squadron. When that squadron was deactivated, the F-16C was moved to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron on 20 December 2020, it received a Have Glass colourscheme and an OT tailcode.

A Block 32 F-16C, first flown on 20 January 1989 and the delivered to the USAF the next month. First assigned to the 422nd TES, then, from October 1991 the Fighting Falcon had the honorable task to serve the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. It had number 3 attached on 1 April 1993; number 4 on 11 June 1999 and 3 March 2003. In 2008, it became a temporary instructional airframe at Sheppard, was recovered into active service and painted in this beautiful arctic paint scheme with bort 13 from October 2013 with the 64th AGRS at Nellis

Delivered to the USAF's Fighter Weapons School at Nellis on 29 August 1988. The Fighting Falcon was assigned to the 64th Agressor Squadron (64th AS) in October 1989, then in June 2001 to the 414th Combat Training Squadron (414th CTS) and from October 2003 with the redesignated 64th AGRS. From April 2013 it was painted in this striking blizzard paint scheme. The F-16C was moved for storage to the 309th AMARG on 4 April 2023.

How dirty can it be? Check the streaks and surface wear of this bird. It looks like corrosion or rust on the wings, but it most likely is that the outer coating of the fighter shows signs of wear due to prolonged exposure to harsh weather. The combination of intense sunlight, sand, and possibly saltwater vapor in certain deployment areas can accelerate the degradation of surface layers. The CM was first flown in May'90 and delivered to the USAF on 23 May'90. Earmarked for assignment for the then to be activated 24th TASS it still carried the markings of the 4th Fighter Squadron.

First flown on 21 August 1985 and delivered to the USAF on 5 September 1995. First assigned to the 17th TFS with a 'SW'-tailcode at Shaw (FL), participated tin Desert Storm where it flew at least 46 combat missions (according to its mission marks then). In January 1992, it was moved to the 163rd TFS ('FW') at Fort Worth (TX). Then from September 2010 assigned to the 179th FS at Duluth of the Minnesota ANG, before it was transferred to the 64th Agressor Squadron at Nellis in September 2010. Since May 2011, it was furnished in this desert camouflage jacket.

First flight on 26 August 1987, delivered to the USAF in October 1987. Seen here during a high-key landing at Nellis AFB in golden hour.

Delivered to the USAF on 16 August 1991 and assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis. It continued with the 16th WPS, then 24th TASS, back to 422nd TES and last reported with the 64th AGRS. So the Fighting Falcon never left homebase Nellis so far.

Delivered to the USAF on 11 July 1991.

This F-16D was temporarily used as a trainer for the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him. Strikingly, odd from the normal digits (1 to 8) in the display circle on the intake of a Thunderbird, this one is carrying 888 in it, so this is serial 92-3888.
