In January 2001, while assigned to the 149th Fighter Squadron, 85-1572 was involved in a mid-air collision with F-16C 86-0228 during a night vision goggle training mission over Cape Charles, Virginia. Despite significant damage, both aircraft landed safely at Langley AFB. The D-model's wing was used to repair the C-model, and 85-1572 was transported to Hill AFB for extensive repairs, costing $1.2 million and taking over two years to complete .​ In June 2007, it was reassigned to the 416th Flight Test Squadron at Edwards AFB, where it continues to support developmental flight testing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/powersearch\/?Search=CAT_TYP_JET_FTR_F016\"\u003eLockheed F-16D Fighting Falcon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHobby Master \"1:72 Air Power Series\" diecast airplanes feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded metal construction with plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInscriptions and posters printed with a stamp that do not fade or fall off like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eopening of awnings, revealing detailed within the cockpit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended \/ retracted interchangeable landing gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay stand to display the aircraft \"in flight\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic detachable artillery cargoes complete with placards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49050566885531,"sku":"HA38064","price":193.63,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/71059.jpg?v=1791915643","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/free-shipping-lockheed-f-16d-fighting-falcon-usaf-416th-flts-no-85-1572-edwards-afb-ca-hm-172-ha38064","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
