Back to Saturday 26th June 1988 and I am at the Chievres Air Show. Another view of F-16C 84-1238 'HR' operated by the 10th TFS / 50th TFW based at Hahn, West Germany. Now listed as in store at AMARG.
Tactical Weapons Meet 1974. Notice the hydraulically foldable wings inherited from the naval version. The later F-4E could only fold the wings manually, which was seldom done.
469th TFS/50th TFW. This a/c seems having served with 4 of the F-4E USAFE bases in 5 years (1978/83) (CR/RS - but I haven't seen photographic evidence of that - HR/SP). So it was a normal feature to paint the new code over the weathered old one.
