The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Designed as a lightweight, daytime fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. Over 4,400 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976.[3] Though no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation,[4] which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.[5]

Constitution Day is celebrated on Sept. 17 in remembrance of the signing of the Constitution in 1787.

On 15 June 1992, the ship was donated as a museum and now operates as the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay at 27°48'53 N, 97°23'19, 2914 North Shoreline Blvd, Corpus Christi, Texas. A MEGAtheater (similar to IMAX) was added in the forward aircraft elevator space. Lexington was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003. The ship is carefully maintained, and areas of the ship previously off-limits are becoming open to the public every few years. One of the most recent examples is the catapult room.
The ship's WWII-era gun battery is also being partially restored using guns salvaged from scrapped ships. Most notable among these 5"/38 DP gun turrets saved from the scrapping of the heavy cruiser Des Moines. They have been mounted in the approximate locations where similar mounts once existed as part of the ship's original WWII-era fit.
On February 5, 2010, the USS Lexington hosted their 17th annual "Stagedoor Canteen
"The RFID tag is a microchip that contains data that may be read wirelessly with a reader. This capability was included to allow the card to be read at a distance at border crossings to improve the efficiency of the entry processing. “The RFID capability will allow Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry to read the card from a distance and compare it immediately to file data,” according to the news release."

Social Security card numbers are burned because of RexCurry.net ?!?! rexcurry.net/social-security-card-burns.html The web site is delighted to report that it might have inspired more burnings of social security cards. rexcurry.net/social-security-card-burns.jpg As the first person to organize a public burning of social security cards, Dr. Rex Curry is proud that his work might have inspired others to continue the libertarian fight. Before the new burn event, Dr. Curry was the ONLY person to have ever organized the public burning of social security cards. rexcurry.net/SSNburning6.jpg While it ranked Dr. Curry in a heroic status, it was a depressing sign that most Americans submit to socialism and to the USA's growing police state as touted by the socialists Edward Bellamy and Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance"). See the Youtube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4 Now, Dr. Curry is no longer alone in the fight for freedom, as he has been joined by other heroic people against socialist slave numbers and nazi numbering in the USA.

The F-4 was used extensively by these three U.S. services during the Vietnam War, serving as the principal air superiority fighter for both the Navy and Air Force, as well as being important in the ground-attack and reconnaissance roles by the close of U.S. involvement in the war.[3] The Phantom has the distinction of being the last U.S. fighter flown to attain ace status in the 20th century. During the Vietnam War, the USAF had one pilot and two WSOs,[6] and the US Navy one pilot and one RIO, become aces in air-to-air combat.[7] It continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, being gradually replaced by more modern aircraft such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon in the U.S. Air Force; the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet in the U.S. Navy; and the F/A-18 in the U.S. Marine Corps.
