F-16C #91-0401 from the 389th Fighter Squadron carried special nose-art and mission markings while deployed to Al Udeid Airbase in Qatar from November 2001 to January 2002, flying missions over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The USAF 389th Fighter Squadron was originally formed at Richmond Army Air Base, Virgina on June 1st, 1943. They were deployed initially to Europe, flying combat missions in the P-47 Thunderbolt and later to Southeast Asia. The squadron eventually transitioned through many front line fighters including the P-51 Mustang, F-86 Sabre and F-4 Phantom II. In 1971 they moved to their present day home at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho where they flew the F-111 Aardvark until 1991. In 1992 they transitioned to the F-16 Fighting Falcon which they eventually traded for the F-15E Strike Eagle in 2007. Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopygiving its pilot superior visibilityand it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called “Viper” by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976. BBI 1:18 Elite Force.
