Thanks in advance

Logged by me as 88-0416 "16 WPS" on 26th Sept 2022 and at the open house on 5th Nov 2022.

I should have photos of both if it's any help in identifying which one.

I think 2116 was also in the static at the open house. So it looks like both jets were on strength at the same time. The differences are 0416 had a yellow/black fin band and a standard F-16 camo, whereas 2116 was a red and black fin band, and a reverse dark grey-light grey scheme - possibly Have Glass, but not 100% sure on that.

Thank you very much

Just going to look at my notes to see if I noted the colours

I don't need either but nice to tie things up

Cheers

Edit: sorted I think: logged 88-0416/WA red black - no mention of special marks. The "16WPS" F-16C is in red/black so was probably 89-2116/WA "16WPS"

Thanks

A few days later on 10/3/23 I logged 83 red flag participants plus 40+ based
