In July 1983 the 157th FS "Swamp Fox" of the South Carolina ANG began receiving the new F-16 fighters. In 1995 the 157th was the first ANG unit to receive the new F-16 Block 52 aircraft directly from the factory instead of hand-me-downs. Along with the updated aircraft came a role change, they became a multi-role unit. At the same time the 157th received the HARM Targeting System making them a Wild Weasel squadron.

Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy—giving its pilot superior visibility—and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.
