Bumper stickers for F16's -

Lean, Mean, Flameout Machine.

I SHALL RETURN...Well, I might.

Mach Nix.

The F-16. Takes a licking, and takes a licking.

Have you hugged your chute today?

This Vehicle Makes Frequent Stops.

I came. I saw. I bingo'd.

No deposit, no return.

We've spent so much money on this thing that we can't afford to admit we were wrong.

A triumph of style over substance.

The best damn second place fighter in the world.

Instead of a CAS mod, we're going to install a roll bar.

And now with this LANTIRN thing and our new Block 40's, we can hit the ground at NIGHT!

We cover the target like a thong bikini.

And BINGO is my Name-O.

We crash more airplanes before 9-o'clock than most people crash all day.

Last in the talent show, but first in the swimsuit competition.

Lose a few, lose a few.

Feet and knees together, eyes on the horizon...

Designated no-hitter.

Everything you wanted in a fighter and less.

Optimist: F-16 pilot who's worried about dying from cancer.

Only Michael Jackson is more manly.

Hey, today we didn't lose a single jet.

This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you.

User friendly... if you've got three hands.

If we have a war with BDUs, we've got 'em beat.

Careful badguys...I'm carrying BOTH bombs today. I'm talkin' wall-to-wall MK-82's Pal.

If I carried more weapons, and if I had enough gas, and if I could actually hit the target, and if I had some more REALLY expensive electrons so I could find you, and if my motor didn't quit, and if My wings didn't crack, Boy, I'd really teach you a lesson!

Now, to be fair, for the longest time I was an Eagle Fan. And to be fair, the 15E is in my mind second only to the 15I. So, this is a lot of truth, at least for pre block 50 F16's. Block 50,52,60+ 16's on the other hand (And the F16I Sufa in particular) are quite the opposite. The Sufa is one mean machine. And its got legs.

There is a story of a few US warships heading towards Israel that was told the IAF would play tag with it when they got in range, and it was all good. Of course, getting bounced by a flight of 12 of them with 2k green ones hanging when they was still on the wrong side of the Italian boot wasn't in the plan of the day. (To be fair, they had to tank up to get home, but the point wasn't Aimed at the friends to the west...

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

Speaking from personal experience, sometimes not even then...
