General Dynamics NF-16 Advanced Fighter Technology (AFTI) demonstrator.
Converted FSD#6, used to test new flight controls, systems and weapons. Bragging - flown by my good friend and world class test pilot, Steve Barter. More braggin, I was on advanced design project that originated dorsal fairing, later brought into production.
