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.
To honour the 40th Anniversary of the NSAWC Naval Strike Air Warfare Centre, F-16B 920458 was given special markings on the air intake (40th Anniversary 1969 – 2009). The NSAWC Navy’s Naval Strike Air Warfare Centre “Top Gun” is tasked with the training and tactic development as well as several other duties. This aircraft was produced in 1994 as 94624 delivered to the Pakistan Air Force. Later the aircraft went to AMARC in September 2002 and then in December 2002 it went to NSAWC as Bort 04.
