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 goal of “Red Flag” is to provide pilots with realistic training scenarios that they could or
would face if they went into actual combat. The Red Team is made up from aircraft and pilots
from the 64th AGRS flying F-16Cs and the 65th AGRS operating F-15Cs. The 64th is allocated
24 F-16C Fighting Falcons that are painted in schemes as seen on similar-type Russian aircraft.
F-16C 87-0307 was delivered to the USAF on December 19, 1988 and wears red Bort 07
