Two Edwards AFB F-16B's, 92-0455/ED and 92-0456/ED, just landed at NAS Fort Worth. These planes are to support the first flight of the F-35A Lightning II prototype.
Previously embargoed and stored at AMARC the ex Pakistani F-16's have found new homes around the USA with this example (ex PAF 93739) now in use with the 412TW at Edwards AFB.
The first extraction parachute has just stabilised prior to the load emerging from the hold during the C-17 air drop demonstration at the 2006 Edwards AFB Open House.
