The F-16 just has two nicknames..
If one guy says, that the F-16 is a Viper, he is correct
If another guys says, that the exact F-16 is a Fighting Falcon, he is also correct!

Viper is the unoffical name... inspired by Battlestar Galactica if we have to believe F-16.net
Russian planes:
IL-76 (all standard length ones)
,
Tu-154 and Il-62
,
Tu-134
and
An-24RV

I thought that the Name Viper appeared at first when the Israeli's modded some of their Falcons? Eventually the F-16 Falcon was made suitable better for ground attacks? (Dunnmo though)
Falcon : King of the air
Viper: King of the Ground? (or at least a decent predator)

Nothing to do with Israel
. The name Viper was around since the prototype stage (as being mentioned) and was mostly used by its pilots, who thought it looks more like a snake than a Falcon (and since Cobra was already taken by the YF-17, they went on the F-16 Viper).

The Fighting Falcon is its working title, so to speak.
Viper is the name some Air Force Pilots give it, like the strike it delivers when it attacks
Like a snake striking
Eh? Get it?

True, Israel (through collaboration with other countries i think) DID modify the original F-16 , however it was designated a whole new fighter, the F-2A. This was designed to be used as a fighter-bomber and boasted a new alloy body and the ability to carry long-range anti-ship missiles.

False. Israel DID modify the F-16, but it had and has nothing to do with the F-2. The F-2 first appeard in 1987, 7 years after Israel got its first F-16. The F-2 is the name of the highly modified F-16 made for Japan.

The name Viper was made up by the American pilots, a long time before Israel got its first F-16.
