| U.S.A.F Fighting Falcons |
 |
The United States Air Force (USAF) is the
aerial-warfare branch of the United States armed
forces and one of the seven uniformed services.
Previously part of the United States Army, the
USAF was formed as a separate branch of the
military on September 18, 1947.The USAF is
currently one of the largest and the most
technologically advanced air forces in the world,
with about 6057 manned aircraft in service (4,273
USAF; 1,313 Air National Guard; and 400 Air Force
Reserve); approximately 160 Unmanned Combat Air
Vehicles, 2161 Air-Launched Cruise Missiles, and
1900 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.The F-16
Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter
aircraft developed by General Dynamics in the
United States. Designed as a lightweight fighter,
it evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft.
The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it
was a success on the export market, serving 24
countries.The F-16 is the largest and probably
most significant current Western fighter program,
with over 4,000 aircraft built since production
started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the
United States Air Force, it is still produced for
export.
The Fighting Falcon is regarded as a superb
dogfighter, with innovations including a frameless
canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control
stick to ease control while under high g-forces,
and reclined seat to reduce the effect of g-forces
on the pilot. It was also the first fighter
aircraft to be deliberately built to sustain 9g
turns. It is also one of the few jets with a
thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one, giving
the Falcon excellent acceleration.
Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting
Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper",
after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.
In 1993 General Dynamics sold its aircraft
manufacturing business to the Lockheed
Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed
Martin.The F-16 is a single-engined, multi-role
tactical aircraft. It is equipped with an M61
Vulcan cannon in the left wing root, and was
almost always armed with two AIM-9 Sidewinder
missiles, one on each wingtip on a dedicated rail.
More recent versions can be equipped with the
AIM-120 AMRAAM on these rails instead. It can also
be armed with a wide variety of air-to-air
missiles and air-to-ground missiles, rockets or
bombs, carried on a number of hardpoints under the
wings.
From the very beginning, the F-16 was intended to
be a cost-effective "workhorse" that could perform
various kinds of missions and maintain
around-the-clock readiness. It is much simpler and
lighter than its predecessors, but uses advanced
aerodynamics and avionics (including the first use
of fly-by-wire, earning it the nickname of "the
electric jet") to maintain good performance.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the
aerial-warfare branch of the United States armed
forces and one of the seven uniformed services.
Previously part of the United States Army, the
USAF was formed as a separate branch of the
military on September 18, 1947.
The USAF is currently the largest and the most
technologically advanced air force in the world,
with about 6057 manned aircraft in service (4,273
USAF; 1,313 Air National Guard; and 400 Air Force
Reserve)approximately 160 Unmanned Combat Air
Vehicles, 2161 Air-Launched Cruise Missiles, and
1900 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and as of
September 30, 2005, had 351,800 personnel on
active duty, 122,750 in the Selected and
Individual Ready Reserves, and 106,800 in the Air
National Guard. An additional 14,000 personnel
were in the Standby Reserve and the Air Force
employed 166,730 civilian personnel.
The USAF is currently planning a massive
Reduction-in-Force (RIF). Because of budget
constraints, the USAF will reduce the service's
current size by 40,000 full time equivalent
positions by 2011, with approximately half to be
eliminated in FY 2007. Approximately 35,000 active
duty positions, or one year's cycle of enlistments
and retirements, will be eliminated over 5
years.The current size of the active-duty force is
roughly 70% of that of the USAF at the end of the
first Gulf War in 1991.
According to the National Security Act of 1947 (61
Stat. 502) which created the Air Force, "In
general the United States Air Force shall include
aviation forces both combat and service not
otherwise assigned. It shall be organized,
trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and
sustained offensive and defensive air operations.
The Air Force shall be responsible for the
preparation of the air forces necessary for the
effective prosecution of war except as otherwise
assigned and, in accordance with integrated joint
mobilization plans, for the expansion of the
peacetime components of the Air Force to meet the
needs of war."
The stated mission of the USAF today is to
"deliver sovereign options for the defense of the
United States of America and its global interests
— to fly and fight in Air, Space, and
Cyberspace".Not all of the United States' military
combat aircraft are operated by the USAF. The
United States Army operates its own helicopters,
mostly for support of ground combatants. The Navy
is responsible for the aircraft operating on its
aircraft carriers and Naval air stations, and the
Marine Corps operates its own combat and transport
aircraft. The Coast Guard also maintains transport
and search-and-rescue aircraft, which may be used
in a combat and law enforcement role. All branches
of the U.S. military operate helicopters.
The Air Force is managed by the Department of the
Air Force which is headed by the Secretary of the
Air Force who heads administrative affairs. The
Department of the Air Force is a division of the
United States Department of Defense which is
headed by the United States Secretary of Defense.
The highest ranking military officer in the
department is the Chief of Staff of the Air
Force.The United States Air Force has been
involved in many wars, conflicts, and operations
since its conception; these include:
* World War I
* World War II
* The Cold War
* The Korean War
* The Vietnam War
* Operation Eagle Claw
* Operation Urgent Fury
* The United States invasion of Panama
* Operation Eldorado Canyon
* The Gulf War
* The Kosovo War
* Operation Enduring Freedom
* Operation Iraqi Freedom
The United States Air Force has over 7,500
aircraft commissioned as of 2004. Until 1962, the
Army and Air Force maintained one system of
aircraft naming, while the U.S. Navy maintained a
separate system. In 1962, these were unified into
a single system heavily reflecting the Army/Air
Force method. For more complete information on the
workings of this system, refer to United States
Department of Defense Aerospace Vehicle
Designations.
