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.
Pakistan’s first order for F-16A/Bs consisted of 111 aircraft but because of
Pakistan’s growing nuclear capability the U.S. became very concerned and 28
aircraft were withheld and flown directly to AMARC when they were completed.
These aircraft were offered for sale to other countries but there wasn’t
interest shown so they USN and USAF put them to work as aggressors. Pakistan
wanted the aircraft or their money back. With Pakistan assisting in the war on
terror Pakistan was able to get 18 aircraft. F-16A 84705 was assigned to 11
Squadron “Arrows”.
