 UM. A foreign fighter with what I am guessing is live ammo.  |

 the other pods underneath appear to be auxillary fuel tanks. . . | |

I'm hoping those are dummy ordinance and they are just training the guy how to handle the plane with that load. |

Nope... They're live rounds and yes, those are long range drop tanks and a cargo pod. --------------------------- Nikon D300, D70S, 17-35 f2.8-4, 35-70 f2.8, 50 f1.4 70-200 f2.8, 150 f2.8 macro, 50-500 f4.5-6, 500 f4.5, 1.4X, 2.0X, SB-800 and still more to rummage through !!! http://public.fotki.com/bear1962/ If you try to fail and succeed...

I was going to say I had no idea an f-16 could carry so much ordinance and lr fuel tanks. I don't remember seeing sparrows mounted on the wing tip hard points before either. Usually that's where they carry the sidewinders. --------------------------- Robert 40d |

It is my understanding that these UAE birds have a more powerful engine than most F16's used by US ?? |

The P&W F100 was 24,000 lbs but there was supposed to be a 27,000 lbs F404 or something like that. --------------------------- Nikon D300, D70S, 17-35 f2.8-4, 35-70 f2.8, 50 f1.4 70-200 f2.8, 150 f2.8 macro, 50-500 f4.5-6, 500 f4.5, 1.4X, 2.0X, SB-800 and still more to rummage through !!! http://public.fotki.com/bear1962/ If you try to fail and succeed...

Yesterday while they were landing North, I tried to duplicate your downtown shot. NO GO. I found the spot OK, but I would need to climb up on my roof to get that great angle. If you've seen me, you know that would not be a good idea.  |

Tom, I'm lucky if I can get up and down off the bumper of my Tahoe without breaking my neck. |

Actually Tom, where I got that shot was not at the WSR loop-over. . . it was down the road a ways south. . .there is a spot where there the barbed wire fence has a gap in it. . . great place to be when aircraft are landing runway 17 (heading north). . . it's directly across from the church at the top of the hill towards Wal-Mart. . . |
