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 commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the defeat of Japan in WWII two RoCAF F-16s
and two IDF (Indigenous Defense Fighters) were painted with special markings to honor
contributions made by the American Volunteer Group (AVG) better known as the "Flying
Tigers" led by Maj. Gen. Claire Chennault. Lockheed F-16B 6820 and F-16A 6690 received
a shark mouth, a caricature of a flying tiger and sixteen Japanese flags under the cockpit
on the left side of the fuselage to represent the victories by AVG 1st Squadron pilot Robert
Neale.
