Destructive F-16 test

Beth Bartlett surveys the damage after the explosion of an F-16 Fighting Falcon Aug. 19, 2010, on the range at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The explosion was a test of the flight termination system to be used in the QF-16, a supersonic reusable full-scale aerial target drone modified from an F-16. The purpose of the test was to demonstrate that the FTS design will be sufficient to immediately terminate the flight of a QF-16, as well as to determine a range safety debris footprint. Ms. Bartlett is a test engineer for the flight termination system test. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
