F-16 Falcon Thunderbirds History:

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, single-engined jet fighter aircraft manufactured by General Dynamics and later Lockheed Martin for the United States Air Force (USAF). Though designed as a lightweight fighter, it has evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven its worth in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. Its relatively low cost and high performance has made it popular in the United States and allied nations, serving a total of 24 countries.

From the very beginning, the Falcon was intended to be a cost-effective workhorse that could perform various missions. Advanced aerospace science and proven reliable systems from other planes such as the F-15 and F-111 were integrated into the F 16. These simplified the aircraft and reduced its size, weight, purchase price and maintenance costs. Other innovations include a frameless, bubble canopy for better visibility, a side-mounted control stick to ease control while under high g-forces, and a reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot.

Aside from serving with air forces in 24 different countries, the Falcon is also the current aircraft of choice of the USAF Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. In March 1982, it was announced that the Thunderbirds would trade in their T-38 Talons for F-16 Falcons. The team sat out the 1982 airshow season to spend the year retraining and transiting over into the new aircraft. Transition to the F-16 was completed in November 1982, and the first public demonstration took place in April 1983.

In 1992, the Thunderbirds switched from to the C version of the F-16, being the last active duty unit to use the A model. The Falcon has remained with the Thunderbirds for the last 20 years, the longest performance era of any one aircraft.
