EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness the sleek and powerful form of a General Dynamics F-16B Fighting Falcon, specifically identified as 78-0089 (MSN 62-15), taking center stage at Norton Air Force Base on November 19, 1980. This particular F-16B is a Block 1 aircraft, belonging to the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) based out of Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The F-16B, a versatile single-engine multirole fighter, was developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force. Known for its advanced avionics, maneuverability, and robustness, it has become an iconic symbol of modern military aviation. On this day in 1980, 78-0089 made its way to Norton AFB for a visit. The image captures the jet's distinctive paint scheme, adorned with the 388th TFW insignia and the American flag, as it taxis along the tarmac. The backdrop of the California sun casting long shadows adds to the dramatic effect of the photograph, emphasizing the F-16B's impressive size and presence. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the enduring legacy of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the technological prowess and innovation that have shaped the skies for decades. The 388th TFW continues to fly the F-16 today, demonstrating the aircraft's unwavering ability to adapt and excel in various roles within the United States Air Force.
