Personal interest:
This model represents the F-16CJ Block 52 "Wild Weasel" as flown by the USAF in 1996. This model carries the WW tail code assigned to the 13th FS from Misawa AB, Japan. Several F-16CJ units rotated in and out of the theater in support of Operation Southern Watch; the 13th FS was in the theater during my tour of duty there. F-16CJ crews were in operation every day Allied aircraft flew over southern Iraq to protect aircrews from surface to air missile systems.
