Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA3814 is Lockheed F-16C Block 40G Fighting Falcon serial 89-2137, 31 OG "Triple Jastreb-Killer". Production limited to only 600 units.
On February 28, 1994 during Operation Deny Flight F-16C 89-2137 from the 526th TFS (Black Knights) 86th TFW based at Ramstein, Germany but assigned to 31 OG
(Operational Group) was patrolling over Bosnia. F-16 pilot Captain Robert Wright managed to score 3 victories over Serbian Soko Galeb G-4s using 2 AIM-9Ms and 1 AIM-120 AMRAAMs. Three Serbian emblems were painted on the F-16 that day but were removed later the same day and replaced with green stars.
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.
