Ross Barton (xbarton@sheoak.bcae) asks, at the end of an excellent 
discussion about the model numbers for the F-16XL, aka F-16E and F-16F:

   To the best of my knowledge, one each of the E and F versions was
   produced.  Does anyone know what they are doing with them now???

They're here, at Dryden.  We're using them as testbed aircraft for
aerodynamic research.  One of them is about to begin the flight phase
of a program studying trans- and supersonic laminar flow, using a wing
glove.
