An F-16 assigned to the 416th Flight Test Squadron successfully performed a GBU-39 bomb drop flight test recently at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The 416th FLTS is supporting flight test operations for the Republic of Korea F-16 Update Program. The ROKAF currently operates 133 KF-16C/D Block 50/52 fighter aircraft, all of which will undergo extensive modernization and upgrades as part of the comprehensive improvement program. Lockheed Martin was awarded a $1.2 billion contract to retrofit the 133 KF-16s and upgrade them to the advanced F-16V configuration, which is the latest technologically and most advanced version of the fourth generation fighter jet. This modification includes AESA Radar, Modular Mission Computer, MIDS-JTRS, JHMCS II and ALR-56M Upgrade, APX-126 and a Center Pedestal Display. (Air Force video by Ethan Wagner)
