Return to Index   F-16C Block 42 Wing Commander's Bird July 3 2008 at 8:54 PM   (Login Neptune48) HyperScale Forums from IP address 70.190.233.38 F-16C Block 42 Serial Number 90-0737 serves as the flagship of the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke AFB in Glendale, Arizona. Here’s my completed model of the aircraft as it looked on February 12, 2008. The actual jet is nicely detailed, with a plated and polished gun port cover, highly polished turkey feathers, and even chrome hub covers on the main gear wheels. Crew names are painted in blue script with yellow shadows. Even the boarding ladder, tool box, fire cart and wheel chocks are specially colored and marked for the Wing Commander’s aircraft. This morning I had the pleasure of presenting this model to Brig. Gen. Noel T. “Tom” Jones, the outgoing Commander of the 56th FW. He seemed very pleased with it... ...even on closer inspection. He said the model will have a place of honor in his office at his new duty station. Altogether, it was a pretty good morning.
