History and Application of the Modelled Original

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi-role American fighter aircraft that performed its maiden flights at the end of the 1970s. The aircraft, in various versions, is used by the United States Air Force as well as many other countries around the world—including Poland, Turkey, Norway, and Israel. Late versions of the F-16, for which this wheel set is suitable, were widely used during Cold War conflicts, the "Desert Storm" operation, and numerous modern NATO missions.
