Now PAF F-16s are the "Falcons" right? Why has someone used "Viper" for them in the picture gallery? :help

Well this has been a source of puzzlement for me for a long time. Lets clear it out once and for all.

(Fighting) Falcon was the name given by either manufacturer Lockheed or client USAF, while nickname Viper was given by pilots.
