The F-16G Mamba Viper is an enhanced multirole fighter developed and built by FlightArms CAC for the Tactical Forces Military and export.

General Dynamics granted rights to FlightArms CAC to produce their own F-16s since the fighter's success with the USAF, and soon with other countries who procured units; with percentage of profits going to them for fair trade. The shares are now proceeded to Lockheed Martin.

The Mamba Viper is among the most widely flown and used fighter aircraft in the TFMGAC. They are commonly used to conduct medium range patrols in allied/friendly or contested airspace, as high level single seat trainers, first alert responders in defensive air battles, and much more. It performs well in many roles, true to its role of a multipurpose combat aircraft. But as the good saying goes for fighters of this kind, The Mamba Viper is a jack of all trades, but master of none.

The official name of this F-16 variant was made in honor of the late World War 2 Greentail Italian fighter ace Capt. Julius "Mamba" Berlusconi, who downed a total of over 50 axis fighters and bombers during his career as a TFM combat pilot.

Over the years, the Mamba Viper was given great technological and mechanical upgrades. It's fly-by-wire systems were significantly improved with the help of General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin, state of the art avionics were installed, engine efficiency was increased, giving the fighter well-extended range without losing performance, and most recently, the aircraft has been generally improved that today's Block versions of the Mamba are now low supercruise capable, meaning it can fly at low supersonic speeds at altitude and sustain it for the duration of the flight.

Plenty of combat wings across different international TFM airbases fly the Mamba Viper as their primary fighter jets alongside others such as the Su-30, Eurofighter Typhoon, and F-15 Eagle. But this particular jet flies with none other than the TFMGAC's legendary 51st Combat Wing, serving under the prestigious Snake Squadron, a multirole combat group that can be called upon for different missions depending on situations that may arise during conflict.


The F-16C/G is featured on the 51st Combat Wing's chest patch. It's one of their primary combat aircraft flown to this day.
