Lockheed F-16 Fighting Falcon (91-0395)
The F-16 demo team debuting their new livery celebrating 50 years of the F-16.

ICAO type code is just F16.
Almost 50 years ago I built a Revell model in that exact livery
In the fall of 1976, I went out to General Dynamics in Fort Worth for an interview with my future boss. After the interview was over, he took me out to the flight line and showed me the first full scale development F-16 (FSD-1) which had rolled out (under it's own power, BTW) from final assembly just a few days before. I had seen that roll out on the local news the day it took place and now I actually got to walk up and touch it! It had this same livery which was also used on the flight test article. I started my employment just a couple of weeks later and retired in the summer of 2013 after the delivery of just over 4500 aircraft. To quote Clint Eastwood in "Firefox"... "what a machine"!!
Super Photo ........
