The darting mission of the F-16 Fighting Falcon
An Air Force F-16C Fighting Falcon from the 31st Fighter Wing, Aviano Air Base, Italy, performs aerial acrobatics for more than 285,000 aviation enthusiasts during the Farnborough International Air Show July 21. Most commonly known as the “Viper,” this compact multi-role fighter has proven itself by dominating in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. The F-16C’s exceptional handling and maneuvering capabilities allow the aircraft to pull upwards of 9 G’s. Approximately 70 aircrew and support personnel from bases across Europe and the United States participated in the air show. This premier global aviation event allows exhibitors to showcase the newest aerospace equipment and technology. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt. Jerry Fleshman)
