This appears to be a collection held by the University of North Florida and it contains several images of 159th ANG Sixes around the 1987 timeframe. There are also several images of the F-16As around that time and even some with both vipers and sixes on the ramp. From the link above clicking backwards through the collection pages goes through most of the Florida ANG and six related images. Lots of other aviation photos here too.
I searched North Florida and Lawrence Smith and couldn't see any hits so hopefully im not posting something someone has already seen. I stumbled onto this browsing on ANG units and wondered does anyone know about them? From the school's website this is a special collection from the photographer named previously. Seems like a pretty amazing person. The website also has this history (his work appears to center on Florida and covered the space program too).

Some I thought were nice:
digitalcommons.unf.edu/lvsmith_main/457/
digitalcommons.unf.edu/lvsmith_main/460/
I have no idea of the source or history of these photos and have no attachment to the University, just thought I would pass along something I ran into browsing 'Florida ANG'.
Even one with a T-33 in it digitalcommons.unf.edu/lvsmith_main/320/
