Claro, de ahí viene...
Yo leí que es porque cuando lo ves venir carreteando, parece una "cobra" (estaban drogados), pero como ya el nickname lo tenía el YF-17, buscaron otro tipo de serpiente para llamarlo extraoficialmente.
“At end of runway, the F-16 did resemble a cobra or something as it approached you. However, I think Northrop had already taken that name for the YF-17. We all voted, and Viper came in really high. Seems there was a series on TV that had 'colonial Vipers' flying off of Battlestar Galactica (a term later used for the Eagle). In any case, the Generals didn't want a plane 'named after some snake'! “

Although it is officially known as the Fighting Falcon, the General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F-16 is commonly referred to by the nickname 'Viper' - a name that was applied due to the popularity of the 1970s Battlestar Galactica TV series and its 'Colonial Viper' fighters.

Y tampoco es Falcon a secas, si recuerdan las publicaciones ochentosas el nombre oficial del F-16A/B es Fighting Falcon.
A mi me gusta Viper, Scooter a los A-4, son los nombres que les pusieron sus primeros dueños, como si te venden o regalan un Pingo, no le cambiás el Nombre aunque no te guste, o andá a cambiarle el nombre a un Camello....

En 1980 le pusieron Fighting Falcon.
Hermoso nombre, para un gran avión!
