This is a recreation of F16c, blk 40 #90-0736 of the 80th Fighter Squadron “Headhunters”/"juvats",
assigned to the 8th Fighter Wing, PACAF (Pacific Air Forces).
it received special heritage tail flash decals on may 2023, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the U.S. - Republic of Korea alliance at Osan air base, rok.
The Decals have been applied on additional 2 F-16's assigned to the 8th FW and 3 KF-16's with the ROKAF 38th fighter group.
