	Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA3802 is this superb model of F-16CG Fighting Falcon Block 42 "89-016" of the 555th Fighter Sqn., 31st Expeditionary Air Wing based at Aviano Air Base, Italy. Only 1,500 produced. The 555th TFS story began in November 1942 as the 555th Bombardment Squadron, Medium. In November 1945 the squadron was de-activated and re-activated in January 1964. From 1965 until 1973 the 555th flew F-4s in Vietnam and shot down 39 MiGs, earning them the motto "World's Largest Distributor of MiG Parts". The 555th returned to the U.S. in 1974 and in 1994 transitioned to the F-16 when transferred to the Aviano Air Base in Italy. F-16 89-2096 was delivered to the military on January 25, 1991. The F-16 Fighting Falcon was produced by General Dynamics who became Lockheed who then merged with Martin Marietta to become Lockheed Martin. The F-16 entered service in January 1979 as a multi-role jet fighter that evolved into an all-weather multi-role aircraft capable of sustaining 9-g turns. The F-16 is relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain so the U.S. and 25 other countries added it to their inventory. The Fighting Falcon is referred to by its pilots as the “Viper” and will remain in USAF service until 2025.
