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.
Lockheed F-16D Block 52 Fighting Falcon LF035 serial number 96-5034 c/n DB-16 was
assigned to the 425th FS “Black Widows” at Luke AFB, Arizona. The 425th FS was
reactivated in 1993 to train Republic of Singapore Air Force F-16 pilots the latest weapons
and tactics. Operated by the RSAF 96-5034 is now 96-6034 and in 2013 to celebrate the
20th anniversary of the RSAF and the 425th FS cooperation LF035 was given a special
paint scheme incorporating the Singapore “Lion City” lion head symbol.
