I have been inspired by a cute F-5 toon on DeviantArt, so I made such a F-16: <_<

I have found science-fiction aircraft with a weird air intake, that can be applied to F-16: <_<

That's almost a Feri intake.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The shapes are like mouths. I feel that there should be lips and/or teeth there  ;D

Uh? I did not know this Feri intake name and Google does not explain. :unsure:  :unsure:
Unless this is a wrong spelling for ferry boat intake, yes, like a big opening for many cars to come in... ;)

Yes, JF stands in France for Jeune Fille or Jeune Femme (young girl or young woman), thanks! ;D

Ha!
They look a bit angry, but that is the shape.

Thanks! The "shark mouth" principle is that a fighter wants to look evil, frightening, while it is true I prefer the smiling nice way, of hugs and kisses... ;)

It might be 'Ferri', yes.

It's the forward facing intake, similar to the wing root intakes on an F-105 Thunderchief.

Of course, the JF-16 young girl is not exactly "human" but is clearly humanoid: <_<
