There are more than 1,000 F-16s in service with the U.S. Air Force, and many, of course, have a combat mission. The Thunderbirds, too, are expected to be able to be combat-ready within 72 hours. The aircraft are modified only slightly for their air-show performance role--they're painted in the red, white, and blue pattern, and a smoke-generating system is installed in the space designed for the 20mm cannon. Here, an F-16CJ crew chief stands back as his jet gets ready to taxi out for a training mission.
