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.
The 179th Fighter Squadron “Bulldogs” began as the 393rd FS in 1943 and was deactivated at
the end of WWII. In September 1947 the 393rd was re-activated as the 179th FIS in Duluth with
the Minnesota Air National Guard becoming part of the 148th Fighter Group in 1960. In 1990
through 1991 the 179th FS/148th FG received the F-16A and in 2010 re-equipped with the F-16C
Block 50 to become Wild Weasels with a mission to Suppress and/or Destroy Enemy Air
Defenses (SEAD). In 2012 the 179th deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan.
