“Our F-16 was the workhorse of Operation Desert Storm, flying 13,500 sorties with 250 aircraft. F-16s provided more than 40 percent of U.S. Air Force bomb-dropping sorties and delivered 20,000 tons of bombs during the Gulf War. The aircraft performed a variety of missions, including SCUD Chasing and Killer Scout (fast forward air controller or Fast FAC), and produced the highest mission-capable and sortie rates of any aircraft in theater. Since the Gulf War, F-16 squadrons from several nations have served in peacekeeping operations by enforcing United Nations no-fly restrictions over Iraq and Bosnia. Approximately 180 F-16s from seven NATO countries were the workhorses of Operation Allied Force in air campaigns against Serbia in 1999. F-16s flew 7,500 sorties in the full range of multirole operations.”

 

And the new F-35 joint Strike Fighter (JSF): “Our Mission: Provide the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy and Royal Air Force with an affordable and stealthy tactical aircraft for the 21st century. The Lockheed Martin F-35 JSF has been designed to satisfy the diverse needs of each of these services with a family of affordable, lethal, survivable and supportable combat aircraft.”
