F-16 Falcon
 | |
DESCRIPTION: With its short, stubby wings, the single-seat F-16 is one of the most maneuverable fighter-bombers ever built. It can fly at speeds above Mach 2 and at altitudes above 50,000 feet.
F-16s were used in greater numbers than any other plane in the Persian Gulf War. F-16s are currently in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Turkey.
ANYTHING NEW? The new F-16 CJ model is now equipped with radar-seeking missiles for knocking out hostile anti-aircraft missile sites.
