USAF F16C during Singapore Airshow 2016

Singapore Airshow 2016–Lockheed Martin F-16C

USAF F-16C Fighting Falcon

U.S. Air Force has been a very good support for every Singapore Airshow. In Singapore Airshow 2016, USAF once again demonstrated their F-16C Fighting Falcon from the 35th Fighter Wing, Misawa Air Base, Japan.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon, or “Viper” is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system. A unique 30 degree inclined seat is to increase pilot comfort and gravity force (G Force) tolerance during combat turns.

Although the F-16A, a single-seat model, first flew in 1976, there has been many upgrades and variants since.

During the Airshow, the USAF F16C has demostrated its highly maneuverable and high speed fly past.
