Lockheed Martin F-16C/D Fighting Falcon

The F-16C is the single-seat and the F-16D the two-seat version of the Fighting Falcon with the newer cockpit controls and displays; the F-16D flies with one or two crew. One engine, either a Pratt and Whitney F100 or a General Electric F110, gives about 27,000 pounds of thrust and a speed of Mach 2 at altitude. The Air Force quotes a ferry range of more than 2,002 miles, 1,740 nautical miles, a ceiling above 50,000 feet and 7,000 pounds of internal fuel. Active units and many Guard and Reserve units have converted to the C and D models.
