Jedna retro sema farbanja za avion koji je izveo prvo obaranje sa AIM-120.
Citat:The F-16D Block 42 #90-0778 is a pretty famous aircraft: on Dec. 27, 1992, during Operation Southern Watch (OSW), using callsign “BENJI 41” and flown by Capt. Gary “Nordo” North, this two-seater Fighting Falcon assigned to the 19th FS (Fighter Squadron) but on loan to the 33rd FS deployed to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, from Shaw Air Force Base, North Carolina, shot down an Iraqi MiG-25 Foxbat E jet that had flown south of the 33rd parallel, entering the NFZ (No Fly Zone) enforced following the United Nations Security Council Resolution 688, adopted on Apr. 5, 1991.
That kill marked the first by a U.S. F-16 as well as the first achieved using an AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) “Slammer”.
