1. Yes, the "official" name for the F-16 is the "Fighting Falcon"..... said no Viper driver ever. Why is it called the "Viper"? Because it entered service the same time that the original Battlestar Galactica was on television (1978) and all the fighter jocks glommed onto "fighter pilots in space" (and if you get drunk and squint, the BSG Viper shares a *tiny* bit of similarity to the F-16.) 2. Dos Gingos. A couple of Viper Drivers who put down some songs while they were deployed to the sandbox. They're fairly NSFW for language as they're a) written by Viper Drivers, b) performed by Viper Drivers in front of c) you guessed it... fighter pilots. They're funny as hell (at least if you're a military pilot)-- listen to the lyrics..... and to keep it more or less on-topic, I think these are more or less Viper centric ones....

A Nanchang CJ-6 and a Yakovlev Yak-52 collided in Lancaster today about 1˝ hour north of LA, killing one pilot.

U.S. Navy T-6B trainers are getting new paint jobs. The fleet of 150-plus trainers, which fly from Pensacola, Florida, and Corpus Christi, Texas to train future Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and foreign pilots and flight officers will be gradually repainted to an all-blue color. See the attached for the existing colors and the first T-6B to get the new paint.
Future Naval Aviators receive almost 100 flight hours of instruction in primary flight training using the T-6B before splitting into groups that will fly carrier-based jet aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, helicopters or tilt rotor V-22s. Future Naval Flight Officers get slightly less T-6B time before splitting into groups that will serve in patrol aviation P-8As, F-18F Super Hornet and EA-16G Growler jets and E-2 radar aircraft.

Attributed to a junior officer suggestion.
My observations about large organizations and leaders: There is pressure to innovate/change so that the leader can be termed an innovator. Sometimes leaving well enough alone would be better, but the ambitious leader needs to change things to demonstrate that he/she is a "hot runner" and worthy of promotion.
