Looks fab @fiveten I like the HAF taste for planes very much!

Nice detail my friend

The RDAF F-16A have their policelights on the left hand side

Good morning my friends @airbum and @johnb!

Thanks for positive commenting! As usual, it is THE motivation booster!

Regarding the two seaters police lights: here is HAF's 144 at a very early pic, most probablu=y in the USA, undergoing test flights before delivery. No police light there...

Here she is, same girl (144) in Greece, a few years later, by the Hangar. Is ti a police light there or not?

It most certainly is!

Now, go figure! Looks like retrofit...

Anyway, the small antenna on top of the chute housung has been faired:

The housings port side has been re-treated with putty and, just for fun, I applied Squadron Green (diminishing...) over the gray "base" putty...

A complete 1000grit sanding has already taken place (including pylons, wing tanks and doors) and, after a final re-treat of the port side of the chute housing (it still needs some outty there...) we are ready for the paint shop! (after an 114CW - my Base - "stopping by", where QC1 and QC2 - my sons - will commence their usual visit...

Thanks for stopping by!

Spiros, is it only the F-16A/B that has these, or is it random? - the F-16C's that visited Aalborg in 2018 did not have policelights on the right side. I know they are retrofitted to most F-16's as the Danish ones did not have them at first.

Modifications look great, Spiros (@fiveten). Your police lights are very interesting. I have never seen them before. What are they used for?

George @gblair, If I may intrude, the Policelights are used for - policing. . . - the term is used over here for interception of aircraft that is not known or needs verification - they are for extra light for nighttime intercepts, to verify the registration etc.

Thanks for the info on the lights, Erik (@airbum) and Spiros (@fiveten). Before I started flying, I was a radar intercept officer at a mobile radar site. One of the first things we learned was how to do an intercept for a visual identification of a bogie. It makes sense that there would be lights for that purpose. If I recall correctly, we would usually try to bring the interceptor up on the left side of the target so that the pilot (especially of multi-engine planes) could see the interceptor and not do anything stupid. I suppose you could join on either side of a single-place fighter.
