Northrop Grumman, British Aerospace BAC-111-401
BWI
Dec. 1, 2017
One of Northrop Grumman's electronic testbeds, this one features an F-16 nose radome, presumably with their latest iteration of the AN/APG-80 AESA or SABR radar, for the latest F-16s. It's also being retrofitted to older F-16s.
Note the engine modification kit to reduce the noise generated by the engines. They didn't do anything for clear air though, as they left a long smoke trail.
