General Dynamics' original name for the F-16 was"Fighting Falcon." But that's a lot of words."Viper" was what the pilots called it because of its curved lines and the large air inlet beneath the plane's nose that someone thought looked like an open snake's mouth. Early difficulties perfecting the plane caused several crashes, which, along with its streamlined shape, earned the plane the dry, dark nickname"Lawn Dart.
