Citat:
Although testing is currently focused on the newer B61-12, it appears that activities with the older variants are still ongoing. Aviation photographer Joseph Albergo captured in May the F-16CM Block 42, serial 88-0499, while taking off from Nellis Air Force Base with two (obviously inert) B61 bombs under its wings during normal flight operations. Based on the general shape and the tail fins, the bombs appear to be an older variant such as the Mod 3, 4 or 10.
The aircraft in this rare shot appears to be assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, which is highly involved in the testing of the US Air Force nuclear weapons. While we cannot be certain, the aircraft might have been launching for a test mission over Tonopah Test Range, where most of these tests are being conducted.
