The first U.S. Air Force General Dynamics QF-16 <i>Fighting Falcon</i> (F-16C, s/n 85-1569) arrives at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida (USA), escorted by a McDonnell Douglas QF-4E <i>Phantom II</i> on 19 November 2012. The QF-16 was to undergo developmental testing by Boeing to eventually become part of the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group. The QF-16 is a supersonic reusable full-scale aerial target drone modified from an F-16 <i>Fighting Falcon</i>. Up to this time, the group used QF-4s, made from 1960s F-4 <i>Phantom II</i>s, to conduct their full-scale aerial target missions.
