The "Spirit of Broken Arrow" F-16C symbolizes the wing's deep ties to the local community of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. This aircraft has participated in training exercises and combat missions, including deployments to support Operation Inherent Resolve. Featuring standard USAF gray camouflage, it occasionally appears at airshows and public events as a tribute to the Guard's heritage.

Lockheed F-16C Fighting Falcon

Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976.
