ShawFest 2010: F-16

The F-16CJ Fighting Falcon is the jet that is flown by our Viper Demo Team. The first F-16 flew in December of 1978 as the F-16A. It was built under an unusual agreement between the U.S., Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway. The F-16 has been continuously upgraded throughout its production history. The various roles of the F-16 were deployed during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, where it flew more sorties than any other aircraft. Since Sept. 11, it has been one of the largest air components on the Overseas Contingency Operations.
