I've noticed this elsewhere. When did they stop calling the F16 the Falcon?


As the story was told to me... around the time the original Battlestar
GALACTICA series was popular on television, the first F-16's began to be
deployed. One of the squadrons deployed to Europe/Germany were the ones
who coined the VIPER moniker on aircraft.


Has this migrated from "If I won the Lottery" to "dear Santa"

In that case I want my Mighty Matilda back.
