The Boeing Company and the U.S. Air Force completed the first manned flight of the QF-16 Full Scale Aerial Target on May 4, 2012 at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The first retired F-16 Falcon arrived at Boeing's Cecil Field facility on April 22, 2010 to begin conversion into a QF-16 aerial drone. The Boeing-led team, which includes BAE systems, will begin engineering, manufacturing and development of the full-scale manned and unmanned QF-16s during Phase 1. The drones will be used as aerial targets for newly developed weapons and tactics. They will be a higher-performing aircraft than the QF-4s they will replace.
