The USAFE still operates some bases within Germany, among them Spangdahlem in the Eifel. Here, the 52nd Fighter Wing is based which has participated in numerous front operations in the Middle East for instance the operation “Desert Storm” in 1991 or the operation “Iraqi Freedom” in 2004. This F-16 version is a complete new design and represents the much more spread variant of this type. The model will be released as limited edition of 2,000 items. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
