  • A head on view of an F-16C with subtle vortices flowing over the wings from a gentle banking turn. Towards the end of a successful mission, this F-16C from Hill Air Force Base begins its approach to the tanker to fill up before heading back to Nellis AFB. A closer look at the aircraft shows that it's carrying a NACTS pod on store eight, an LAU 5003 Rocket Launcher on store seven, extended range fuel tanks on stores six and four and an AIM-9 Sidewinder on store two.

  • Eyes peering through his Head's Up Display (HUD), Major Derek "Tazz" Routt gives the "All Clear" signal prior to taxiing. The F-16's advanced Head's Up Display allows the pilot to acquire the aircraft's most important flight characteristic information at a glance rather than looking down into the cockpit losing sight of forward view. As callsign 'MiG-6', "Tazz" will join up with five other F-16C's from the 64th Aggressor Squadron as they engage the Blue Team over the Nellis Range Complex.

  • Blasting off with the usual crowded ramp in the background, an Eglin Air Force Base stationed F-15C Eagle from the 33rd Fighter Wing, 58th Fighter Squadron heads out to the range. Aircraft from the 33rd in Florida and the 57th at Nellis typically work together as their roles both involve weapons testing and aircraft development. Red Flag exercises provide both squadrons with the ability to witness as well as try out new aerial tactics and maneuvers in a real world combat environment. Seen here is F-15C 85-0102, nicknamed 'Gulf Spirit' which shot down two IrAF Su-22s when flown by Capt Anthony R. Murphy of the 36th FW, 53rd FS on 7 Feb, 1991, during Operation Desert Storm and an IrAF MiG-23 on 29 Jan, 1994 with an AIM-7M.

  • Demonstrating weapons and technology only a CJ version F-16 can carry, this Falcon shows off a Link 16 SNIPER XR Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) as seen under the intake on store five-right as well as two AGM-88 HARM II anti-radiation missiles on stores three and seven. On stores one and nine, this F-16 carries two AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) while on store two rests an AIM-9 Sidewinder and finally on store eight, the Nellis Air Combat Training System (NACTS) pod.

  • Taking on fuel from a KC-135R from the 141st Aerial Refueling Wing, this F-16 from the 421st Fighter Squadron, the 'Black Widows' demonstrates a basic weapons load. On stations three and seven reside two 2000lb GBU-31 inactive bombs with stations six and four carrying extended range fuel tanks. One of the most popular aircraft ever built, the F-16 is utilized by more than 25 different countries including the U.S. and was the first aircraft designed as a 'fly-by-wire' aircraft.
