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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePersonnel from the 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron were given the task of giving F-16C 90-0768 a special paint scheme to be ready for January 13, 2022 at Luke AFB, Arizona. The occasion was the celebration of the 310th FS\/56th FW 80th Anniversary. The paint scheme was meant to replicate that of the 310th Pursuit Squadron P-47 Thunderbolt 42-29091 “Passionate Patsy” during WWII. The 310th is a subordinate unit of the USAF's Air Education and Training Command (AETC), both celebrating 80 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43285227602147,"sku":"12085","price":123.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/5000\/6243\/files\/hobby-master-ha38013-172-f-16c-passionate-patsy-203323.jpg?v=1738274121","url":"https:\/\/www.mtsaviationmodels.com\/de\/products\/pohm-1-72-f-16c-ha38013w","provider":"MTS Aviation Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
