Making of Tamiya No 61106 1 48 Lockheed Martin F 16CN "Aggressor Adversary"

Описание: The #USAirForce is implementing a realistic training programme called #RedFlag to improve both air combat skills and pilot survival rates. In Red Flag, pilots are divided into friendly and enemy forces, with the latter designated as "#aggressor" and led by specially selected pilots. The core of these "aggressor" forces are F-16C Block 30, 32, and 42, disguised as Soviet MiG and Sukhoi aircraft with distinctive blue and brown camouflage patterns.

The hypothetical #USNavy enemy forces are also referred to as "adversaries" and use the Navy Fighter Weapons School-trained F-16N aircraft known as "#TOPGUN". Both aircraft have their own individualistic camouflage pattern and contribute to the strategic training of the respective unit.

The 354th Fighter Wing is a United States Air Force squadron that is part of the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). It is the host squadron at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, and is assigned to the Eleventh Air Force (11 AF). This 1/48 scale model kit from Tamiya is a @GeneralDynamics #F16CN Block 30D #FightingFalcon, US #AirForce (1947-present) from 18 AGRS, 354 FW 86-0314/ AK Red 14 Date: April 2008 - Eielson AFB, AK

All aircraft of the 354th Fighter Wing carry the tail code "AK". The 355 FS was inactivated in August 2007 as part of the 2005 BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) action and all A-10 #aircraft were reassigned to other #USAF units. The 18 FS was renamed the 18th Aggressor Squadron (18 AGRS) and remains at Eielson operating #F16 in an adversary role.

Prior to its move to #Alaska, the 354 FW was based at the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in South Carolina for more than 35 years.
