While the large majority of countries operate the F-16C/D which entered service in the 1980s, and was by far the most produced iteration of the design, some more capable variants have also been developed including a program for an F-16E/F which was intended to serve in the U.S. The Falcon has seen more airframes produced than any other fourth generation fighter, being the most widely used fighter in American service today with other leading operators including South Korea, Israel, Turkey and Egypt. The F-16 Fighting Falcon entered service in the United States Air Force in 1978, and other than the F-15 Eagle which is two years older it remains the oldest fighter in the world that is still in production today.
