Posted by The F-16 has been moved from between the runway and taxiway to the run-up area on the east end of the taxiway.
The first photo shows the jet sitting on a flatbed trailer. The second photo is a closer shot from a different location. You can see that the canopy has been closed and secured with a strap. Shortly after this shot they rotated the F-16 180 degrees so that the tail is near the truck cab.
I talked with Gus Haussler for a few minutes at the Master Aircraft hangar. He said there was discussion that the jet would be scrapped for parts because of the level of damage. In any case, it looks like they are getting ready to remove it rather than repair in place.
