I'm proud to have been able to fly the F-16 for 8 years. This jet will always hold a special place in my heart.

The F-16 was the Spitfire of its generation. "If it looks right, it flies right."

The F-16 comes with so many features now. It's amazing. But, why still no cup holders????

The F-16 had another inadvertent first. During one of the flight tests of the F-16XL, powered by the uprated F110-GE-129 engine, reached supersonic speed without afterburner. Since supercruise was key feature of the Advanced Tactical Fighter (soon to be F-22) , and this occurred during the early years of the ATF program, folks within GE and General Dynamics gave passing thought at offering this aircraft as a possible ATF contender.

Excellent production. Great editorial, well researched, and tons of fascinating archival footage. Thanks! (Re-post of my comment on the original which got lost in the shuffle) :)

as far as 4th gen fighters, this one is my favorite. The very first time I saw an F-16 was at an air show at the Mountain Home AFB. I witnessed the Thunderbirds aerobatics team and I was in awe of this aircraft. It just looks badass and fast; even parked on the tarmac.

The Navy didn't go with the F-14 in place of the F-16, the F/A-18 was the Navy's choice instead of the F-16 because they need 2 engines and a few other differences for ships.

Always a great pleasure watching your videos. Lots of information, lots of research and a good sense of humour. The F-16 is my favourite 4th generation fighter. I fell in love with that aircraft when watching the movie "Iron Eagle" in 1986. IMHO that movie was superior to "Top Gun".
