About F-16 Fighting Falcon
A lightweight, low-cost dogfighter that became one of the most successful fighter jets ever. Over 4,600 built, used by 25+ countries. The fly-by-wire system made it the first inherently unstable fighter, computers keeping it airborne for greater maneuverability. Still in production after 45 years.
