ok, let me do a little educating. does anyone know who made the "Viper"? Lockheed Martin. and yes the OFFICIAL air force name for the 16 in the Fighting Falcon. but that name wasnt given to it right when it was made. all the pilots called it the Viper, and when the air force named it the Fighting Falcon all the pilots kept calling it the Viper. they said the name Fighting Falcon was too gay for the 16. and no steve-o its not their squadron. if you listen in their songs it say something along this line, "if you drive the Viper" and things along that line. steve-o if you ever get the chance ask a guy who flies the 16 about the Viper. im 99.9% sure he'll know about it. just go on yahoo or something and type in f-16 viper, you wont get a squadron. heres a place i go to
