*** 8 March Update ***
Summary of Changes:
- Corrected Spelling error on canopy explosive warning
-Adjusted position of canopy explosive warning stencil

Serial number 72-1658 was the second YF-16 prototype built and flew test missions mostly at Edwards Air Force Base.  It differed from it's partner YF-16 by having a blue and white camouflage scheme.  This aircraft was also evaluated in 1975 by the U.S. Navy as a potential new Naval fighter.  It lived an 8 year life as a test aircraft with the United States Airforce before being dropped from the inventory in 1980.  It spent the next period of it's life being used as a test and instructional aircraft in Rome, New York, before finally being shipped back "home" to Fort Worth in 2020.  The blue flight suit is an homage to the late  Philip F. Oestricher and the other original F-16 test pilots.  This aircraft is presently being restored to museum quality.
