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.
NASA F-16A #816 was built for the USAF as 82-0976 c/n 61-569 and delivered on October 27,
1983. This aircraft was loaned to NASA in the late 1980’s and registered as N816NA and used at
their Dryden Flight Research Center as a chase plane during the testing of the F-16XL. When
that testing ended N816NA was used as a test vehicle in their Advanced Fighter Technology
Integration program (AFTI) at DFRC. N816NA has since been retired and is on display in front of
the Lockheed Skunk Works in Palmdale, California. N816NA has the distinction of being the only
civilian registered F-16 in the world.
