General Dynamics AFTI F-16

As part of the USAF Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) program, one of the FSD F-16As, 75-0750, was extensively modified. The AFTI F-16 had a unique dorsal spine to house test equipment and, like the YF-16 CCV, was fitting with canards on the intake. 75-0750 first flew in the AFTI configuration in 1982, and was retired to the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio, in 2002.
