General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon

The F-16 evolved from a 1972 USAF Lightweight Fighter (LWF) prototype program which sought a small, lightweight, low cost, air superiority day fighter designed for high performance and ease of maintenance. A YF-16 prototype made the first scheduled test flight on February 2, 1974. The F-16 achieved combat-ready status in October 1980 with the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing at Hill AFB, Utah. The versatile F-16 has also been purchased by 16 foreign countries including Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, Egypt, South Korea and Israel. The aircraft is produced abroad in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Turkey, as well as in the United States. The first F-16 combat use was by the Israeli Air Force in an attack on a nuclear reactor in Iraq in June 1981. By 1990, more than 2,500 F-16s had been produced in the United States and overseas; nearly 1,600 for the USAF. Of these, 664 were -As. The famed USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team has flown F-16s since its 1983 season.
