QF-16 provides realistic training and testing for less
May 24, 2018 By Master Sgt. Brian Ferguson
For decades the F-16 Fighting Falcon was the world’s premier fighter jet. Small, maneuverable and fast, it has been used for air-to-air operations and air-to-ground operations. Even today, with its current upgrades, it is one of the world’s most advanced fighters.
This is why they are blowing them up.
In a small compound on the edge of the flightline at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, retired military maintainers from the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group are pulling retired F-16s from the bone yard and turning them into almost new QF-16s in as little as 18 days.
