Museum opens Thunderbirds F-16 aircraft exhibit

The Museum of Aviation at Warner-Robins, Ga receives an F-16 Fighting Falcon painted in the Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team paint scheme that flew in the Thunderbirds formation between 1983-1991. Besides the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, the Museum of Aviation is now the only other Air Force museum in the country to have a former Thunderbirds F-16 on display.

That's kinda ironic. My last Pavelow flight was to deliver a Pavelow there late last year for its retirment.
