I was talking to some of the guys at Buckley and they refer to the F16 as a "Lawn Dart" because of its single engine design which if were to fail but essentially turn the plane into a lawn dart. Got a good laugh out of that but definitely wouldnt want to be in one when that happened.

Or coulda been filmed in March ..... Mustache March is a Fighter Pilot thing that goes way back longer then Momevber.
A much better explanation than mine, I wasnt aware of this.

The most noticeable feature are the forward control surfaces under the inlet that allowed maneuvering in unconventional attitudes.
Did they do away with them on later models? All photos I can see of modern versions dont appear to have the forward control surfaces.
