Three from many, many F-16s. They've been ever present for most of my 40 years in the hobby. Without looking much different :-)

Another jet I remember when it was new - strange to think of the F-16 as old hat....

I remember going to Greenham and Mildenhall in the early 80s and being so keen to see an F-16 - my dad being wise said "one day it will be Tornados and F-16s - Enjoy the F-4s and F-104 while you can!"

Already some fantastic images, but it's not about the winning, it's the taking part.
