The F-16 fighting falcon was the designation given by GD& official USAF and the symbolism of the falcon goes with it.
I don’t see anything that looks like a Fishbed represented there -
Great, not you 2.
Mikoyan-Gurevich did not name Mig21 as the fishbed, neither did they name Mig15 Fagot, these are Nato nomenclatures, all names starting with F are Fighters, Nato was gracious with names like Fulcrum, Foxbat, fang and Flanker, not so much with Farmer, Frogfoot, fishbed and Fishpot.
