Here's probably the best description that you can find, Stefaan Vanhastel's F-16.net Featured Article: http://www.f-16.net/articles_article10.html

| I think the F-16 resembles a falcon much more than it does a viper. The sharp nose, the bubble canopy, the short yet proportional wings. Besides, falcons eat snakes, poisonous or not. |

| Falcon is Ok, but sticking Fighting in front of it was gay. |
