It is considered today to be an excellent all around fighter and ground attack platform.\u00c2\u00a0 With over four thousand in production serving twenty four air forces it will see service for a long time to come.\u00c2\u00a0 The aircraft uses a unique fly by wire control system making it very easy to fly, however without this system the basic shape of the aircraft would be uncontrollable. The fighter is also extremely maneuverable and can carry a devastating amount of ordinance to the battlefield. It is because of these excellent flight characteristics that in 1983 the USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team fielded it as its primary show bird. Sporting a beautiful red white and blue paint scheme the team performs thousands of shows all over the world. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> This is the F-16 Air Team 1:48 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-5326.

This boxing replaces the Sparrows with a pair of AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles along with the Sidewinders.
