On May 2, 2014 the first Iraqi F-16IQ (F-16D Fighting Falcon) serial #601 completed its maiden flight. Several F-16s have been sent to Tucson, Arizona where the U.S. ANG 162nd Wing will train Iraqi pilots before any deliveries to Iraq air bases. These F-16IQ’s will be assigned to the 9th FS “Black Panthers” based at Balad Airbase. Iraq will receive 36 aircraft, twenty four F-16IQ and twelve F-16Ds. F-16IQ #1615 was chosen to wear the 9th FS emblem painted on its tail.

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.
