Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon (89-2151)

A rare close-up look at one of the F-16CM’s (89-2051, cn 1C-204) assigned to the 180th Fighter Wing practicing the aerial decoy flare–used as defensive infrared countermeasures–demonstration for the 2016 Toledo Air Show. This was the first F-16 flare demonstration in the history of the Toledo Air Show. Photo taken on 15 Jul 2016. I entered wrong tail number. 89-2051 is the correct number.
