In September 1990 F-16 89-1048 1C-201 was delivered to the USAF. On October 29, 2019; the newly acquired 57th FW 64th Aggressor Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon 89-2048 was unveiled wearing an all-black paint scheme with red markings. The scheme was the top choice of several options that was selected using Facebook. The aircraft was named “Wraith”, which is a ghostly image of someone shortly before or after their death. The 64th Aggressor Squadron is located at Nellis AFB, Nevada.
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.
