2007:

T-Birds to Get Upgraded F-16s: The Ogden Air Logistics
Center at Hill AFB, Utah, has turned over to the Air
Force Aerial Demonstration Team, the Thunderbirds, the
first refurbished F-16. The center will apply Block 52
upgrades to another 10 jets for the elite demo team,
reports Capt. Genieve David. The Block 52
modifications include the Falcon Structural
Augmentation Roadmap program, replacing known service
life-limiting structures to maintain flight safety
parameters. The Air Force has been applying Falcon
STAR mods to operational F-16s, as the fighters are
showing higher than anticipated wear.
