Word. We were told in tech school that the Secretary of the Air Force’s wife is who named it the Falcon. Not finding any supporting info for this. As a crew chief, it’s a Viper till the day I die.

I just cringe whenever I see "Fighting Falcon" anywhere on the web. Yeah, maybe for a manufacturer's brochure back in the 1970s. Every Air Force guy I have ever talked to calls them Vipers.
