The most recognisable aspect of the F-16 Fighting Falcon is its frameless bubble canopy, which improves visibility for the pilot. To lessen the pilot’s G-Forces, there is also an ejection seat that can be retracted by thirty degrees. There are eleven distinct places aboard the F-16 where you can mount weapons and other gear.
