- F-16 Viper
I've noticed this elsewhere. When did they stop calling the F16 the Falcon? I don't know anyone who calls it by its proper name, "Fighting Falcon". I have no idea why the name "Falcon" didn't catch on.... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I have no idea why the name "Falcon" didn't catch on.... But it did catch on. A Google of the terms... "F-16 Fighting Falcon" = 353,000 "F-16 Falcon" = 186,000 "F-16 Viper" = 48,100 It is just recently (last year or so) that I've heard the term Viper used. I saw a high school friend of mine in 2001. He knows I fly and I knew he was in the NG flying. When I asked him what he flew now he said, "Falcons."

I've always liked the "Falcon" name better. Maybe "ViperDoc" can chime in here as to why the two names? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
