The next move for 84-1220 was in May 1994 when it went to the 134th FS where in August 2007 it deployed as part of Iraqi Freedom. Upon returning to the U.S. the aircraft became the property of the 179th FS “MN” in December 2008. In 2011 84-1220 was assigned to the 64th AGRS and became Bort 20 and in 2019 received the “Ghost” paint scheme.
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.
