#15-5202 first flight on November 26th, 2018.

Greets,

15-5196 spotted at NAS Fort Worth and also 15-5200 with a first flight on November 10th, 2018. Noted is that 15-5200 is adorned with a 421st FS patch on the tail. To my knowledge this squadron wasn't disbanded as a F-16 unit yet. Any news on that?

Those 8 will be stationed at Luke AFB for training purposes until 2028. In 2025/2026/2027 another 4 jets will be delivered, in 2028/2029 another ...

Yes and yes. AS-14 is 916.

Seb.

So either the 'original' 916 will be reserialled or this one. Let's see what their passage at Lajes gives.
