Jose'- Not as good as the F-16N, but.... these are basic F-16A/B with the
old P&W
engine. Pechs would find them a bit "emasculated". BRBR

As a guy that flew F-4s and A-4s older than the plane captains that cleaned
them...I wouldn't..

Even the F-16A was light years more advanced than the tired block 130 F-14s I
flew....

Loved the F-16N tho...but i think the F-16A/B is a tremendous idea for USN
adversary...and ya know, the more things change, the more they stay the
same...I remember when the F-16Ns went away...and all the BS hoopla by
NAVAIRSYSCOM about cracks and such...cuz these F-16s were accepted w/o somebody
checking with SYSCOM and their rice bowl..they had a axe to grind until they
went away...Never liked 'Duke's folly'...

Any idea if there are contract or USN maintenance??
