More power, better avionics, stealthiness, vectorthrust, 12 Gs ;-)

Hi Tiger,

I love the F-16 because it first came into the scene when I was born. When I look at an F-16 at airshows I always take photo's and talk to the pilots because they will always tell you something new to learn about the F-16. When I first regonised an F-16 I said WOW! That plane look's awsome and if it looks right it must fly right. This was not the case when the F-16 was first tested. There was no fly by wire system then and the aircraft was very very difficult to fly. There was one case which I have got a clip of (which I will eventually send to John) an F16 just doing a high speed taxi test and half way along the runway it wanted to take off without the pilot pulling back on the stick. With great skill the pilot (appologies as I have forgotton his name) managed to pull the F-16 in the air luckly because the plane was swaying from side to side with the edge of the wing tip's scraping the runway. The original design concept of the F-16 was to design the fighter to be unstable and with the introduction of a Fly-by-wire system this constantly keeps the aircraft stable as well as monitoring the pilot input all the time. I wish I could fly a real one because it's the best. I thing I hate is it's secrecy/confidential stuff surrounding this aircraft, it's really anoying because the aircraft is comming to the end of it's update program as a whole.

Regards Rapier
