COBI F-16 First Flight 1974 - Thunderbird

Model F-16 (YF-16) First Flight Edition 1974 - a tribute to  the first test flight of the F-16! The F-16 in the test version from 1974 is a real treat for both adult collectors and younger aviation enthusiasts. This set is a tribute to the first test flight of the F-16, which took place on February 2, 1974! Despite the passage of more than fifty years since its flight, thanks to systematic development and increasing combat capabilities, this aircraft still retains high combat values and will be the equipment of the US Air Force until at least 2030, and in other countries even longer. 

The F-16 (in the prototype version of the YF-16) is one of the most famous multi-role fighters, which was developed in the United States in the 1970s. It was equipped with the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-100 engine, which allowed it to achieve high speeds (up to Mach 2.05) and great maneuverability. The F-16 is a multi-role aircraft.
