The 64th Aggressor Squadron began in 1941 as the 64th PS. In 1945 they were deactivated only to be re-activated in 1946 as the 64th FS (Jet). In 1969 they were de-activated until 1972 when re-activated as 64th Fighter Weapons Squadron and eventually 64th Aggressor Squadron. Once again de-activated in 1990 and re-activated in 2003 until present day. The 64th AGRS is equipped with 24 F-16Cs based at Nellis AFB, Nevada. Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976. © Copyright 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
