We’re proud to unveil our newest F-16 in the Fullback paint scheme!

This scheme resembles the Russian Fullback Su-34 not only in appearance but also in its two-seat configuration.

With dynamic maneuvers and high-tech sensors, these aircraft are part of the world’s only commercial F-16 fleet and play a key role in delivering the most realistic and challenging contracted air-to-air training for @usairforce 5th Gen pilots.
