Background:
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.
Poland
purchased 36 F-16C Block 52 and 12 F-16D Block 52 to be delivered between 2006
and 2009. F-16C 03-0047 was the 8th F-16C delivered to the 31st TAB/3rd ELT at
Poznan-Krzesiny AB and was assigned serial 4047. In 2019 4047 was given a
special paint scheme “Raven” to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Polish
Air Force established in 1919 after WW I. The raven was part of the 302nd
Squadron insignia in WWII and 132nd FS/3rd Aviation Regiment prior to war.
