Lockheed Legion Pod takes flight on F-16
Citat:Lockheed Martin has flight tested its new Legion Pod infrared search-and-track system for the first time on its F-16 Fighting Falcon in Fort Worth, Texas, as the US Air Force explores upgrades to make its legacy fighters more competitive against modern airborne threats.
The pod carries the Lockheed IRST21 sensor, which traces its lineage back to the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and is now in operation on the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and international F-15 platforms.
Legion Pod is aimed at a USAF programme to provide the F-15C Eagle with a passive, long-range infrared sensor capability, and the service is also exploring options for its Lockheed F-16s.
“Legion Pod was integrated on to the F-16 without making any hardware or software changes to the aircraft,” Lockheed said in a 30 June statement. “Additional flight tests on the F-16 and F-15C will continue throughout the year.”

Citat:Under Arrestment
An F-16 Fighting Falcon from Misawa AB, Japan, slows down on the runway at Yokota AB, Japan, on 24 June 2015. As the reel of the aircraft arresting system spins it activates a hydraulic pump that compresses a brake pad to safely slow the aircraft. The system can slow an F-16 from 180 knots to a complete hault in approximately ten seconds.

MP says US wants Iraq to fly its F-16 jets from Jordan
Citat:An Iraqi MP claimed Sunday that the United States is demanding that Baghdad fly the first F-16 fighter planes to be delivered this summer from an air base in Jordan.
Abed Issawi, an MP from the Shiite bloc in the Iraqi parliament, told reporters in Baghdad that Washington was delaying delivery of the first three planes in order to put pressure on Iraq’s Shiite-led government.
“We have information the US has decided that the three F-16s should carry out airstrikes from the land of Jordan while Iraq has a big airbase in the Ziqar province in southern Iraq,” Abed Issawi, an MP from the Shiite bloc in the Iraqi parliament, told reporters in Baghdad.
