I read the archived messages about this. I know of no F-16 that flies with a grill. As the other responses indicated, a screen is used on the ground when the engine is being run by maintainers. Its sole purpose is to keep people from being ingested into the engine. It's fairly large (fits over entire intake lip), & usually painted red. This must be the mysterious grill. Hope this helps.[Hello to all,

Has anybody got a picture of an F-16 will the grill plate at the front of the air intake. If you have let me know.

Regards
