F-16 Fighting Falcon: Proven Performance, Enduring Dominance

A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft assigned to the 20th Fighter Wing sits at the hot cargo pad after being loaded with rockets at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., June 11, 2025. With a top speed of more than Mach 2, the F-16 offers exceptional reach and responsiveness, making it a critical asset for both U.S. and allied air forces especially when utilizing the AGR-20F rocket weapons platform.
