On February 28, 1994, during "Operation Deny Flight", Capt. Robert Wright from the 526th TFS “Black Knights”, 86th TFW, was patrolling over Bosnia flying F-16C, 89-2137, when he scored 3 victories over Serbian Soko Galeb G-4s with two AIM-9Ms and one AIM-120 AMRAAMs. Three Serbian emblems were painted on the F-16, but were removed later the same day and replaced with green stars.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine fighter aircraft built by General Dynamics, that later became Lockheed Martin. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft that can perform various kinds of missions. First flown on January 20, 1974, the F-16 entered operational service with the USAF in January of 1979. It has an internal M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon and multiple locations for mounting missiles, bombs and other mission equipment. Although it is no longer being purchased by the USAF, improved versions of the F-16 are still being produced for export customers. Over 4,500 F-16s have been built for the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of twenty-five other nations.
