ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

First QF-16's???

Post by Tomcat01 »

Last week we saw during a short visit to Mojave some former AMARG F-16's parked on the ramp. According to our guide they were using these birds for USAF testing by a private company. He couldn't tell me excactly what they were doing. My guess is that they are preparing these birds for Q-versions. I cann't think of anonther reason why they would use AMARG F-16's for testing at Mojave. Anyone else??

Grtz,

Hans

Your guess looks right to me, there's a lot to find about the QF-16 on the www:
