Inspired by the silhouette of Vought ADAM (Unicraft Model resin kit, see http://www.unicraft.biz/on/adam/adam.htm), the F-16 Adam was different in being not VTOL and having classical jet air-intake/nozzle:

After deep search in secret archives (in my mind), I have found the missing link: the XF-16AD prototype was a true VTOL Falcon with Air Deflection And Modulation:

Thanks!

And I am mixing the F-16 with the Martin B-10 of 1934, as a what-ifer I am not afraid of anachronism:

Like the C-131 in flight simulator, a F-16 had a student in the nose but prone:

I have found on the web a childish drawing of 1985 looking like a F-16 airliner:

I have found on the web a "F-16 Mamba" based on the XL:

What-if there was a "true" F-16 eggplane?:

An Airacuda-like F-16??!! Are you kidding? This would be crazy! Worse: this would be "what-if"!:

As well with a classical F-15 eggplane from Hasegawa, towards a different F-16 egg (not Hasegawa's F-16 eggplane):

There was a Mistel Falcon, obviously, this in flight photograph standing as proof:

(the words "modified by", and the name of a damned what-ifer, are traps to fool the spies, pretending this very secret winner is a fake!)
