@OkaNieba pretty cool! These are some of the most advanced F-16s in common service (I say the common service part because there are also other F-16s that are ludicrously more advanced but were used as testbeds and not service planes).
Due to the addition of the AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN (or Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night) pods (as well as several other upgrades) the F-16 was turned into a Day AND Night Fighter.
(Cont.2) Going back to this plane (75-0752), not only did it serve as a testbed for putting the J79 on a 4th Generation Fighter, but it also took part in the F-16 CAS Initiative, and was equipped with a GAU-8 Avenger for testing.
(Cont.) The remaining 8 of those 10 were Full Scale Development (FSD) aircraft. These were used for various tests later in their lives, such as the F-16/101, the F-16XL Program and the AFTI Program.
This plane, Serial Number 75-0752, was one of the original 10 F-16s built, with the first 2 being YF-16s (72-1567 and 72-1568). While taking part in the F-16/79 Program It actually sported a different color scheme with WAY more blue.
@KornAerospace it’s (one of) my favorite aircraft. Many variants, rich history involving the controversial Fighter Mafia, how steering away from their ideas made it a much better fighter, and much more. There’s still many more to come. I’m just taking a break (on vacation).
@Dragoranos as I had mentioned before, I never subscribed to this theory. I said that another user asked me if they had died, and since I wasn’t sure if it was an actual question or a rhetorical question, I told him that I don’t know their whereabouts. Proof of this is in the comment section of my F-16A Block-20MLU.
@MrSilverWolf with all due respect, sir, I only mentioned that rumor because it is the only one that I have heard. To be honest, I wasn’t the one who mentioned it first, and you can check my F-16A Block-20MLU’s comment section if you need proof. Gabriel747 asked me if they had died, and since I couldn’t identify if the question was an actual question or a rhetorical one, I told him that if this was him telling me, then RIP, and if it was him asking me, then I didn’t know. As I said in this post and that F-16 upload, I know nothing of their whereabouts. I never intended to propagate any death rumor. It was simply the only thing that I had heard, and I decided to quote it here. Truth is that you are correct in saying that there is no proof of anything, where I can understand that the propagation of rumors can be damaging. If you desire it, I can remove that section of the forum post. Just tell me if to do or not to do so, and I shall follow your instructions.
@32 I didn't know it was so common. I think we can leave it at “some bad things happened” for now (one again, I don’t wanna get in trouble with the mods). Thanks for the summary.
@WaterFlavouredSpitfires I do not (repeat, do NOT) want to get in trouble with the mods (I even said it in the PS). I have no intent to disrespect anyone. Not the mods. Not the other users. Not Tsuchiisan.
@Gabriel747 If this is you telling me what happened, then RIP our fallen pilot, they will be missed. If this is you asking me, then as I said, I don’t know anything regarding them, only that they deleted their SP page.
@Gabriel747 They are all actually based on Tsuchiisan’s F-16C, with some modifications such as landing gear and ventral fins. Sadly though, since Tsuchiisan left (DISCLAIMER: I do not know about their whereabouts of why they left), all their planes were taken down. I had saved their planes before their departure, though. A few months ago, I decided to make all these F-16s for myself, primarily with some other modifications such as the RWR length and the intake size, as well as ones made for prototypes such as the F-16XL or F-16 CCV. After my Project Wingman ACG-01 Chimera was released, I decided I’d give it a shot with the F-16s, and so, here we are today. In the first F-16 post, I also explain the Tsuchiisan Plane story there as well.
Thank you for coming back and not giving up on the helicopters! Long live Tsuchiisan!
Oh and just in case, i know nothing of their whereabouts. I just like plane.
@Superliner350 what do you mean? If you are referring to the fact that I am uploading so many F-16s, read the beginning of the YF-16 72-1567 upload, where I explain why I am uploading them.
Twitter was a wretched hive of scum and villainy before Elon. Now, it’s an EVEN MORE wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I liked the guy up to last year. Why? Rockets and cars. However, his insane actions are bringing down said rockets and cars. I still like SpaceX and Tesla, but they’d be wayyyyy better without that monster of a man.
Even worse now for me and countless other space fans, that brainless guy decided to stream SpaceX launches eXclusively on X. I’m expecting 128x72p at best, contrary to the high quality YT streams.
It must also be acknowledged that it exists as an RC plane, which handles very well and is personally one of my favorite RC planes from my personal experience with it.
@realSavageMan I simply wanted to point out the hypocrisy of that whole continent, which you yourself also pointed out.
I have had previous experiences with Europeans trying to prove themselves so extremely superior and hyper-civilized. Like when they talk about how racism-free they are, and then remember the Roma exist.
If I have offended you in some way, then please forgive me, as it was not my intention.
“Most peaceful and civilized continent in the world!”
Umm… what about all of the conflicts ranging back from 5000 years bce, including but not limited to WW1, WW2, Yugoslavia, Georgia, and Ukraine?
@OkaNieba is this like a Soviet-ified C-16? Seems like an interesting concept
+1@OkaNieba the F-2 is huge when compared to the F-16, and it carries indigenous Japanese weaponry, like AAM-3
+1@TheNewSPplayer ok! Thanks!
With “that can be operated by AI, what do you exactly mean?
@OkaNieba pretty cool! These are some of the most advanced F-16s in common service (I say the common service part because there are also other F-16s that are ludicrously more advanced but were used as testbeds and not service planes).
+1@OkaNieba DO IT!
Just make them X-62s, which in real life do have an AI flying them (or it, as it’s only one).
+1This is quite possibly one of the saddest F-16s in the world. Destined to be shot down for target practice…
+1@OkaNieba ah ok! The F-16 aso uses LITENING sometimes, as it is a more modern option when compared to LANTIRN.
+1LANTIRN!!!
Due to the addition of the AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN (or Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night) pods (as well as several other upgrades) the F-16 was turned into a Day AND Night Fighter.

oh. Gee, thanks for that one. Really cool. Guess 1.5 years is the equivalent of NOOB now. Gatekeeping and potential elitism is really nice.

Great again as always! Didn’t expect to see 2 planes released so soon, but even so, I really appreciate your effort. Keep up the good work, MAPA!
