SOUTH BURLINGTON — In the Vermont Air National Guard, they call it the "Lethal Lady."

Through a 25-year career, this F-16 has flown missions in Iraq, chased radar blips and unexpectedly added a section to the book of military tactics during its 7,000 hours in the air.

My ex gf's dad is a Colonel over there so I got the VIP tour of their mx hangar and engine facilities last January 07. Got to climb up to the cockpit of one of those birds and I remember him pointing out one of the aircraft (which I would assume is the one in this article) with some of the highest flying hours in the ANG and AF

Here is an old screenshot of the "Lethal Lady" about to cross Lake Champlain as she returns to to KBTV from a deployment to Shaw AFB.

Long live the "Lethal Lady"!
