Oregon’s Viper Years

The 114th Fighter Squadron flagship F-16A ADF 82-1014 touches down smoothly after a mission sometime after the squadron’s 1992 redesignation. It is named “City of Klamath Falls,” as seen just above the bulge at the bottom of the tail, after the community nearby to Kingsley Field. It was assigned to Oregon from April, 1989 to May, 1998, was refurbished for service with the Italian Air Force from 2003 to 2010, and in 2020 was converted to a full-scale aerial target drone.

Oregon’s Viper Years

Lt Col Steven V. Harper climbs down from the first operational F-16 ADF fighter to be assigned, March 1, 1989. By mid-year the squadron had 18 F-16s on hand. Note the circular white spotlight forward, and the lack of the IFF “bird slicer” antennas forward of the cockpit, perhaps a component not fully available at the time. This aircraft was assigned to Oregon between March, 1989 and June, 1990 and ultimately was refurbished for service in the Royal Jordanian Air Force in February, 2003. (142nd Wing History Archive)
