Description: Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power SeriesHA38013F-16C "Passionate Patsy" 90-0768, Luke Air Force Base, 2022 "310th FS 80th Anniversary scheme" General BackgroundThe F-16 Fighting Falcon was produced by General Dynamics who became Lockheed who then merged with Martin Marietta to become Lockheed Martin. The F-16 entered service in January 1979 as a multi-role jet fighter that evolved into an all-weather multi-role aircraft capable of sustaining 9-g turns. The F-16 is relatively inexpensive to purchase and maintain so the U.S. and 25 other countries added it to their inventory. The Fighting Falcon is referred to by its pilots as the “Viper” and will remain in USAF service until 2025. The AircraftPersonnel from the 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron were given the task of giving F-16C 90-0768 a special paint scheme to be ready for January 13, 2022 at Luke AFB, Arizona. The occasion was the celebration of the 310th FS/56th FW 80th Anniversary. The paint scheme was meant to replicate that of the 310th Pursuit Squadron P-47 Thunderbolt 42-29091 “Passionate Patsy” during WWII. The 310th is a subordinate unit of the USAF's Air Education and Training Command (AETC), both celebrating 80 years.
