Or the F16 "Fighting Falcon" No one in the Air Force calls it by its original definition. It's a "Viper"

Just like the guppy is the guppy.

Slats,

They are just trying to sound cool. Its an F-16.

LOL.

To most people, just being a pilot is a pretty cool job, so I don't get the "trying to sound cool". We are pretty cool IMO.
