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.
Israel holds an annual event called �Blue Flag�, a multi-national exercise uniting aviation
teams from other countries to learn and share ideas and procedures plus build international
relations. The German Luftwaffe participated in �Exercise Blue Flag� in 2017 and 2019 so
they decided to host a similar event called �Exercise Blue Wings 2020�. On August 17,
2020 the IAF sent 6 F-16 Barak fighters from 101 and 105 Squadrons based at Hatzor to
the German base at Norvenich. F-16C U.S. 90-0868 IAF 536 was delivered in December
1992.
