4,500 F-16's

Lockheed Martin delivered the 4,500th F-16 yesterday. It might beat the Phantom on production figures yet, if they keep at it.

Quite an achievement. Seems to be one of those designs that just worked almost from day one. I'd only seen photos before watching a Belgian Airforce demo at an airshow, I think the thing that impressed me most was the low speed maneuverability, it appeared as if it were orbiting within the airfield boundaries - quite an advance on the older generation fighters.
