Montana ANG F-16B 'Fighting Falcon' on display at the ND Centennial Air Show at the old Hector Airport terminal, Saturday 8/19/1989.

The 186th FS converted from the F-106A to the F-16A/B 'Fighting Falcon' in mid-1987. The conversion happened earlier than was scheduled and the 186th FIS was to be the last squadron to lose its F-106s. The first aircraft were older block 5 and 10 models with some block 15 airframes also being delivered to the squadron. Main task for the unit was air defense, as with many ANG units who were equipped with the F-16. In 1991 the F-16s were brought up to the Air Defense Fighter (ADF) variant. (wiki) This aircraft (F-16B Block 15G) was delivered in June 1987. updated to ADF in March 1992, and transfered to the Arizona ANG March 2002. It was mothballed January 2005. (F-16.net)
