F-16A Falcon Thunderbird History:
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, single-engined jet fighter
aircraft manufactured by General Dynamics and later Lockheed Martin
for the United States Air Force (USAF). Though designed as a
lightweight fighter, it has evolved into a successful multi-role
aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven its worth in
air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. The Falcon is the
largest Western fighter program with over 4,000 aircraft built since
its production in 1976. Though no longer produced for the Air Force,
it is still being made for export. Its relatively low cost and high
performance has made it popular in the United States and allied
nations. USAF pilots gave the F-16 the unofficial nickname of
"Viper" in homage to the fictional Battlestar Galactica starfighter.
From the very beginning, the Falcon was intended to be a
cost-effective workhorse that could perform various missions.
Advanced aerospace science and proven reliable systems from other
planes such as the F-15 and F-111 were integrated into the F-16.
These simplified the aircraft and reduced its size, weight, purchase
price and maintenance costs. Other innovations include a frameless,
bubble canopy for better visibility, a side-mounted control stick to
ease control while under high g-forces, and a reclined seat to
reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot. The F16 has excellent
acceleration, being one of the few jets with a thrust-to-weight
ratio greater than one. It can also be armed with a wide variety of
air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, rockets or bombs. An
all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance
during non-visual bombing conditions.
