NATO Falcons 1172

1:48 SCALE PLASTIC KITUS SUPERSONIC FIGHTER

F-16 Fighting Falcon je celosvìtovì známým stíhacím letounem. Pùvodnì vznikl jako stíhaè pro vybojování vzdušné pøevahy v konstrukèní kanceláøi koncernu General Dynamics na základì objednávky amerického letectva (USAF). Výroba zapoèala v roce 1976, v roce 1979 byl typ pøijat do výzbroje USAF a do souèasnosti bylo postaveno více než 4500 exempláøù. Pøestože USAF již pøestalo tento letoun nakupovat, pokroèilé verze se nadále vyrábí pro zahranièní uživatele.

F-16 pøinesla øadu novinek. Mezi nejzajímavìjší se øadí bublinovitá kabina zajišující lepší výhled, knipl umístìnýna stranì kokpitu pro snazší manévrování, sedaèka sklonìná pod úhlem 30° pro eliminaci pøetížení, které pùsobína pilota, a použití systému fly-by-wire.

F-16 jsou vyzbrojeny pevnì montovaným šestihlavòovým kanonem M-61 Vulcan a na jedenáct závìsných bodù lze zavìsit rùzné typy raket, pum a dalších speciálních podvìsù. Oficiálním názvem letounu je „Fighting Falcon“, nicménì mezi piloty se rozšíøila spíše pøezdívka „Viper“.

V U.S.A. se F-16 ocitly ve výzbroji USAF, Air Force Reserve Command, jednotek Národní gardy, ale také létalu akrobatické skupiny Thunderbirds èi v roli Aggressorù u amerického námoønictva.

Kromì Státù se typ uplatnil v letectvech mnoha èlenù obranné aliance NATO. Spatøit je mùžete v markingu tìchto zemí – Belgie, Dánsko, Nizozemí, Portugalsko, Norsko, Øecko, Polsko. Další uživatel, Itálie, vyøadila své F-16 nedávno,v kvìtnu 2012.

Dominantní ocasní plocha letounu se nabízí jako ideální místo pro zkrášlení stroje. Vybrali jsme pro vás ètyøi takové letouny, které reprezentují ètyøi ze zemí NATO – Itálii, Nizozemí, Dánsko a Norsko. Témata kreseb nejsou pøekvapující – dívky a šelmy…

introThe F-16 Fighting Falcon is a world-wide known multirole jet fighter aircraft. Originally was developed as an air

superiority day fighter by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). The production was launched in 1976, the type was accepted by USAF in 1979 and more than 4,500 aircraft have been built. Despite of the fact that USAF stopped the purchase of this airplane, improved versions are still being built for export customers.

The Fighting Falcon is a fighter that featured many innovations. The most interesting are a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a fly-by-wire flight control system.

The F-16 has a fixed, forward firing M61 Vulcan cannon and has eleven hardpoints for various missiles, bombs and pods. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is widely used by its pilots.

In addition to active duty USAF, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the USAF Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team and as an aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy.

Beside the U.S.A. many other NATO countries adopted F-16 as the multirole jet aircraft. You can see Falcons with national insignia of following NATO countries - Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Greece, Poland. Italy, another type operator, retired its F-16s a while ago – in May, 2012.

The big tail of this aircraft is a suitable place to paint an artwork. We chose four of them. Each of them represents oneof the four NATO countries – Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands and Norway. The themes of the artworks are not suprising – girls and beasts of prey…

D F-16AM Block 10, ESK370 Squadron, Royal Danish Air Force, 2010 - 2012 The Royal Danish Air Force celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2010. For the occasion, this aircraft received artwork consisting of the Danish flag and a Lion on the tail. The reas of the camouflage was left in the original grey tones. This aircraft can be seen in this guise to this day. Note the older type of horizontal stabilizer.

Dánské letectvo oslavilo v roce 2010 šedesáté výroèí svého založení. Pøi této pøíležitosti dostal tento stroj na svislou ocasní plochu slavnostní kabát s motivy státních symbolù. Zbytek stroje zùstal ve standardním kamuflážním zbarvení šedými odstíny. V této podobì letoun létá dodnes. Povšimnìte si starší podoby výškového kormidla.
