I feel sorry for the fuel maintenance folks. Conformals are the worse idea ever for the F-16.
I absolutely love the lighting on this shot

It just seems like it adds an element to troubleshooting that the F-16 doesn't need, it being hard enough to troubleshoot. I've been working fuels on them for 10 years from block 30s to block 52s and they never seem to amaze me at the amount of things that can be wrong and still NOT be the problem 5DIII|24-105L|100L|135L|70-200L|28-135|430EX II|

I can't wait to get the F-35 personally -Chris
