F-16 Vipers? Who even calls them that anymore?

Officially they're the F-16 Falcon but everyone just called them F-16s.

("Viper" was an unofficial name from the late 1970s in reference to the television series 'Battlestar Galactica').

Not sure where you’ve been, but Lockheed designates the 2016 update as the “F-16V”.
