I've been watching them come into Lackland in formation all day for the last 2 at Seaworld San Antonio.

I'm on a rollercoaster, awesome! Then look up and see an F-16 rolling out of a turn. Damn... I'd rather be riding that

The F-15 and F-16 are definitely 10x better looking than the F-22 and F-35.

Until this thread I had no idea the F-16 also had 'Viper' as a nickname.

[Golfer]

It's actually THE name.

[boxboy28]

i always thought they were Falcons.

F-14 is a hunk of crap limited to 7.5gs.

Excuse me kid but you got much to learn. Not sure if you realize it but you are on a forum related to a game set in the era of POSPP (Piece of S*** Props Planes) and they can't do more than 4G's....or wait, maybe they can, until a wing rips off.



Tomcats by Choice, Hornets by Mandate!, Remember that.

The correct name is F-16 Fighting Falcon. It is nicknamed the Viper because the intake is huge like the snake's mouth. Look at an F-16 from the side (like in the picture up top) and it even looks like a snake.

Thank you V1per!


i tried to make it a subtle point to the kids off the small bus.

[DiabloTX]

Honestly, because of the large intake below the cockpit, I've always felt it should have been named "Mustang II".
