F-16 Towing
The Museum of Aviation towed an F-16 aircraft approximately 2 miles up Georgia Highway 247 to Robins Air Force Base March 3. The aircraft, once part of the Thunderbirds Aerial Demonstration Team, is being readied for a new paint job. The Museum gained the F-16 Falcon a year ago and is restoring it to its original Thunderbirds paint scheme. It flew as the Number 2 and Number 3 aircraft in the Thunderbirds formation from 1982 to 1991. The aircraft will be on display at the Museum during the Robins AFB Air Show on May 2-3. Thunderbird team members, who still fly F-16s, are expected to help the Museum open the aircraft display that weekend. U. S. Air Force photo by Sue Sapp
