F-16D Barak 074 was built in 1988 with U.S. serial No. 88-1716 and Israeli No. 074. The aircraft was obtained under the FMS Program “Peace Marble II” and received by the IDF 101 Squadron “First Squadron”. In July 1991 it was transferred to 109 Squadron ‘Sun Valley Squadron’. During the 2006 Lebanon War or July War as it is known in Lebanon that lasted from July 12 to August 14, 2006, Israeli F-16C #364 and F-16D #074 shot down two or three Hezbollah-operated UAVs using Python-5 missiles.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine fighter aircraft built by General Dynamics, that later became Lockheed Martin. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft that can perform various kinds of missions. First flown on January 20, 1974, the F-16 entered operational service with the USAF in January of 1979. It has an internal M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon and multiple locations for mounting missiles, bombs and other mission equipment. Although it is no longer being purchased by the USAF, improved versions of the F-16 are still being produced for export customers. Over 4,500 F-16s have been built for the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of twenty-five other nations.
