Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA3846: Lockheed F-16CG Fighting Falcon #90-0703 of 8th FW, USAF, Kunsan AFB, South Korea, 2007.
F-16C Fighting Falcon #89-2098 MSN 1C-251 was originally assigned to 19th FS "Gamecocks" at Shaw AFB, South Carolina in March 1991 and became the 9th Air Force Commander's jet. Sometime after 2008 89-2098 was upgraded to an F-16CG. In late 1993 the 19th FS was moving to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska and upgrading to F-16 Block 50 so the Block 42 F-16s were sent to the 180th FW/112th FS "Stingers" of the Toledo ANG. The 112th FS is a descendant of the 112th Aero Squadron formed on August 18, 1917.
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. |
