Bf109E-7 could carry 300 liter drop fuel tank and it began appearing during summer and fall of 1940.
I believe the picture is not of an F-16, but of the F-16-derived Mitsubishi F-2. Note that the F-2 is significantly larger than the F-16, particularly the elongated nose, which holds more powerful radar than the F-16. Westwind273 (talk) 07:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Compare this image of an F-2 from the commons:
Regarding the aircraft in the picture used in the Drop Tank article, the canopy is definately F-16 rather than F-2, and the IFF set differs (suggesting this is a Block 52 CJ or an upgraded F-16A(MLU)). The markings on the nose and tail suggest a Netherlands (RNlAF) service F-16A(MLU) (note the tail number "J-874"). I have not reverted your edit - I will wait for an admin to review this. 57.67.17.100 (talk) 04:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
