F-16 - the industry superiority fighter

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American multi-role light jet fighter developed by General Dynamics in the early 1970s. It is the most widespread and popular representative of the 4th generation fighters, produced in the amount of more than 4600 units. It is mass-produced by Lockheed Martin Corporation, and also, under license, in several other countries.

The F-16 was the Spitfire of its generation.

The F-16 comes with so many features now. It's amazing.
But, why still no cup holders????

The F-16 had another inadvertent first. During one of the flight tests of the F-16XL, powered by the uprated F110-GE-129 engine, reached supersonic speed without afterburner. Since supercruise was key feature of the Advanced Tactical Fighter (soon to be F-22), and this occurred during the early years of the ATF program, folks within GE and General Dynamics gave passing thought at offering this aircraft as a possible ATF contender.

Sorry for the reupload. A little remaster needed. Hope, that is final

I'm proud to have been able to fly the F-16 for 8 years. This jet will always hold a special place in my heart.

From a former F-16 Crew Chief I say WELL DONE! You really did your research. Keep up the good work!!👍

One of the most beautiful planes ever..

as far as 4th gen fighters, this one is my favorite. The very first time I saw an F-16 was at an air show at the Mountain Home AFB. I witnessed the Thunderbirds aerobatics team and I was in awe of this aircraft. It just looks badass and fast; even parked on the tarmac.

The mascot of my son's middle school is the F-16.

Best multi-role fighter ever. My favourite.

Great video ! One of the most beautiful fighters ever produced (the other, in my opinion, is the F-22 Raptor) and which even today, thanks to constant updates, efficiently performs the tasks for which it is designed!

Flying the F-16 into combat alone is quiet smooth sailing, in and out, without a word on the radio. Package F-15s and it’s four sheets to the wind outright chaos start to finish, missiles, AAA, comm jamming, bogeys, defending up down sideways, VIDs, you can’t help but stores jettison on ingress so game over.

Such a gorgeous looking aircraft. Proves aptly the adage "old is gold"

I loved watching these things take off at Bagram Air Field.

When I went through URT, I had a few instructors that flew the A model. It was riddled with issues, and they lovingly called the A model “The Lawn Dart.”

Phenominally concise and thorough tutorial on this fantastic airframe! I actually learned a few things previously unknown. Great work!

The next military story will be about the F/A-18

Can honestly say the F-16 is the only Jet Fighter i have ever seen in my life.

A couple Venezulean F-16s visited my country 20 years ago... will never forget them

Just shows how sound the original design was. I love that bird - if it was a car, it was a '79 Porsche Turbo.
