Some of these made me chuckle:

Lean, Mean, Flameout Machine
I SHALL RETURN… Well, I might.
Mach Nix
The F-16. Takes a Licking, and takes a Licking
Have you hugged your chute today?
This Vehicle Makes Frequent Stops
I came. I saw. I bingo’d.
No deposit, no return.
We’ve spent so much money on this thing that we can’t afford to admit we were wrong.
A triumph of style over substance.
The best damn second place fighter in the world.
Instead of CAS mod, we’re going to install a roll bar.
“And now with this LANTIRN thing and our new Block 40’s, we can hit the ground at night!”
We cover the target like a thong bikini.
And Bingo is my Name-O!
We crash more airplanes before 9-o’clock than most people crash all day.
Your courtesy appreciated. Please replace your divots.
A war record exceeding even the B-1.
Last in the talent show, but first in the swimsuit competition.
Lose a few, lose a few.
Feet and knees together, eyes on the horizon…
Designated no-hitter.
Everything you wanted in a fighter and less.
Optimist: F-16 pilot who’s worried about dying from cancer.
Only Michael Jackson is more manly.
Hey, today we didn’t lose a single jet.
This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.
User Friendly…if you got three hands.
If we have a war with BDUs, we’ve got’em beat.
“Careful bad guys.. I’m carrying BOTH bombs today. I’m talkin’ wall to wall MK-82’s Pal.”

If I carried more weapons, and if
I had enough gas, and if
I had more REALLY expensive electrons so I could find you, and if
My motor didn’t quit, and if
My wings didn’t crack,
Boy, I’d really teach you a lesson!!

I didn't realize the criticism of the Viper, just thought "lawn dart" was a term of endearment. +1 Spike, these were funny!

Noob question incomming:

Why do I keep seeing the F-16 referred to as 'Viper'? I always though its nickname was 'Falcon', 'Fighting Falcon' or some derivative thereof. Is it a term for a specific variant?

Nope. It's the pilot's nickname. For example, the CH-46E is the Sea Knight - but it's called the Phrog by those who fly it. It's the same in the F-16's case.

Damn, now I'm curious about pretty much every other airplane I thought I knew the nickname of.

The block 60's with the conformal tanks and upgraded avionics is one BAMF. Too bad the USAF isn't getting any...

I read a pretty cool article once about the viper. To sum it up the brains behind the F-16 engineering said that they would have pushed the F-16XL design more if they knew what the F-16 mission was going to turn into. More fuel and more payload for trolling around and dropping the occasional bomb.

F-16XL, that's the one with the full delta wing, right?

This thread started me remembering something I hadn't thought about for some time, the Northrup YF-17 flyoff vs the general Dynamics YF-16. I had always thought it was kind of ironic that the Navy would eventually choose the better aircraft. (The YF-17 was the forerunner/prototype to what eventually became the F/A-18.)

I will agree that the Super Hornet is a better all-around fighter/attack a/c than the F-16. The true shame is that the US Navy spent $20bn+ on the A,B,C & D models before it got the E/F. The F-16 A thru C is a better all-around a/c (IMHO) than the F-18 A thru D. The Israeli F-16I is better than both of them & probably a lot less expensive than the Super Hornet.

All planes have nick names, F-4 flying brick, pig, rhino, or several other names, F-14 Turkey, FA-18 Lawn Dart, and on and on goes the names
