The 335 Squadron “Tiger” is the oldest squadron in the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) stationed at Araxos Air Base near Patra. F-16D #023 was one of the last F-16Ds to be received by the HAF 335 Squadron of the 116th Combat Wing. This aircraft was one of the F-16s sent to the “NATO Tiger Meet 2018” held in Poznan-Krzesiny Poland. The HAF has ordered 170 F-16s comprised of F-16C/D Block 30, 50 and 52.
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.
