F 16 Viper Wall Art Wall Art

F 16 Viper Wall Art — 2 museum-grade prints on the theme. 161st Filo — known in the Viper community as Kartal (Eagle) by day and Yarasa (Bat) by night — is the only Turkish squadron issued two radio call signs, reflecting round-the-clock readiness from Bandirma across the Aegean. Turkey's F-16 programme made the Fighting Falcon the backbone of THK fighter strength from the late 1980s onward; the Block 50 configuration shown here carries AMRAAM and indigenous SOM standoff weapons in the multirole strike role the squadron flies alongside NATO air-policing detachments. The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon entered USAF service in the late 1970s as a lightweight day fighter that evolved into the world's most numerous fixed-wing combat aircraft, with pilots universally nicknaming it the Viper for its agile handling and Battlestar Galactica echo. The Block 30 introduced incremental avionics and engine options while retaining the type's signature frameless bubble canopy, side-stick flight controls, and cropped-delta wing.
