Flew in here last night and found the following F16's present, last three's only though due to the heat haze. 490, 565, 494, 233, 499, 498, 207, 488, 487, 656/IN, 554, 483.
All were totally devoid of tail markings of any description apart from one (can't remember which one) which had a white flash on it and 656 which had an IN tail code. Also seen while on approach was a preserved F100 and F4/FW , both unidentified. Any help with full serials appreciated.

Your missing F-16s are 85-1487, 85-1488, 85-1490 and 86-0233. 656 is a mispole. Also, although the F-100 is marked as 56-3210, it cannot be the real version, as this was a QF-100 shot down by a Sidewinder in 1987. Its true identity is unknown to me. Andy Marden

By the way, F-84F 52-6629 is also preserved at Fort Wayne. It inside the base but can be seen from outside. Also, F-84F 51-9514 is outside the Allen County War Memorial complex at 4000 Parnell Avenue in the city. Regards, Andy Marden
