LOL — when we see an F-16 we all immediately think of JJ!
I still think the F-16 will never be bested by any aircraft from a price/performance perspective. The mission creep on the F-35 has priced that flying anvil out of any reasonable market.

If that is even a real picture, I count perhaps 48 aircraft. Possibly lined up only for one-time publicity pictures.

You took the words right out of my mouth.I was just thinking that I hoped all of those falcons were photoshopped because that Crazy sob up north would only have to launch a nuke and wipe out the 8th Tactical Fighter wing.
That would be a big problem.

If you think that is impressive go use Google Earth and look at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. I never new there had been that many F-16s, much less that many sent to the bone yard.

I hope they didn’t leave them like that for long - talk about a tempting target for a bomber

The F16s are armed and ready to take off, not like Pearl Harbor.

Isn’t it a little early for a May-Day celebration, Premier Obama?

I don’t even own one yet, so 50+ looks like a lot to me.

That is four squadrons. Each squadron at 12 aircraft a piece so a total of 48 Falcons. This is a total photo op and nothing else. The aircraft are useless on a runway that close together and you would want to separate them ASAP as they are a huge target.
Since the U.S. has over 1,200 Falcon’s in our inventory even after reductions a group of 48 is not really that impressive except for a photo op like this.
Interesting to see though.

Didn’t Pearl Harbor teach you anything???
Did FDR had foreknowledge the Pearl Harbor was to be attacked? I believe so. It was the moment FDR administration was waiting for, according to the military analyst/historians featured in the military channel. U.S. and UK had already cracked the JN25 long before the Japanese attacked.

So what lesson you learned about Pearl Harbor?
