Once Upon a Time in America (Feb 2)

Today in United States history in 1974, the General Dynamics aircraft, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, flies its maiden flight at Edwards Air Force Base, California.

The F-16 is a single-engine, multi-role jet fighter and was designed with a fly-by-wire flight control system for maximum maneuverability. It contains a single 20mm cannon in the left wing and can be equipped with up to 6 air-to-air missiles. It can also carry 2 2000 lb bombs. The aircraft was designed primarily for dogfighting.

Here are some stats for the aircraft:
Contains approximately 27,000 lbs of thrust.
Has a wingspan of about 33 ft, a length of about 33 ft, a height of about 16 ft and a weight of almost 20,000 lbs.
The F-16 can achieve a speed of 1500 mph and a range of more than 2000 miles.

Currently the Air Force has approximately 1300 F-16s in its fleet.

Gun Control Quote

"Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces."
