The F-16 "Fighting Falcon" (or "Viper" to its operators) is a lightweight, multi-role, single-engine jet fighter aircraft, designed and originally manufactured by General Dynamics. Following the sale of the General Dynamics division responsible for the production of the F-16, Lockheed Martin gained manufacturing rights of the aircraft, and currently produce models for export to multiple nations.

The F-16 is equipped with an internal M61 Vulcan cannon, and 11 hardpoints for mounting various other weaponry and equipment. It was the first fighter aircraft specifically designed to be able to sustain 9-g turns. It is also the aircraft currently (as of 2010) used for the U.S. Air Force's "Thunderbirds" demonstration team.
