The 169th Fighter Wing of
the South Carolina ANG deployed to the Middle East in support of OIF
with their Block 52 F-16s. This sheet represents three of these
aircraft.
A/C 914 and 549 have the
full color blue/white tail flashes while A/C 537 is a standard line bird
with the subdued tail markings. All of these jets are Block 52
aircraft with A/C 169 being a CCIP upgraded bird. CCIP is the
Common Configuration Implementation Program that all F-16s will be
getting at some point in the future. This expands the capabilities
of the Viper as well as bringing all the A/C in the fleet to a
standardized capability.
There is nose art on two
of these aircraft (914 and 537) and this artwork was applied by SrA Chad
Lindner who is a crew chief with the unit.
Scooter
Shooter and Holtz Hustler are done in decal form on this sheet by Archer
Fine Transfers. There are enough markings on this sheet for three
complete aircraft. The instruction sheet features loadout
information as well as a bio on SrA Lindner.
