Whether you call it Fighting Falcon, Viper, or “the Electric Jet” (as it was originally known), the F-16 should need no introduction. When it comes to sexy-looking modern jets, the F-16 has to be near the top of the list. Not at all angular, faceted and stealthy like the F-22 or F-35, it has a slippery shape from nose to tail with a tall, 360-viz canopy that maintains those sleek lines. These all contribute to the illusion of rapid forward motion, even while it is static on the ramp. It is also the ride of choice for the current U.S. Air Force Demonstration team, the Thunderbirds. Their slick red, white, and blue unique scheme has been seen by thousands, if not millions, of spectators around the world.

I’m a sucker for shop stuff. I buy tools I will probably never use just because they are cool, or I might need to use them someday. When Glen from RC Plane Stands reached out about a review, however, I knew as soon as I browsed their website that I would be receiving something I would use a lot, maybe even daily.
