In your best opinion, which plane do you think is better, overall, and why.

thanx

There is only one downside to the F-16. If your engine fails you are Screwed. It owns otherwise

Hi,

But Still the fact will always reamin ...... Hornet was a reject and Viper is one of the Most Sold Aircraft ...... Only reason Hornet Project was Saved .. when navy Took Up hornet and Did some Modifications ........ Other wise i am Afraid Not many would have Known it in the first place ..


Peace

Oh, man. It's hard to choose which one is the best. F-16 is a smaller plane than F/A-18. F-16 is faster than F/A-18. F/A-18 is bigger than F-16. I don't know. I will thinking about it.

heh..

hmm, okay, what about the latest updates and modifications for both. Which would still best the other overall?

How about this approach. Which design has been "copied" by competitors? I see numerous F16 knock-offs, not so many F18 clones.

WEll, probably because F-16 is the most sold US fighter, that's y there are so many copies.

Hornet hands down. Despite claims here that Hornets are duds etc, the RAAF Hornets have wiped the floor with US "Agressor" Disimmilar F-16 and F-15 (refer most recent edition Australia New Zealand Defender).

So without a doubt I'd say Hornet of F-16 any day of the week. Plus flexibility of role is another bonus. Land/Carrier based Fighter/Bomber is part of the reason why Australia chose the Hornet over many other potential aircraft (Including the F-14 and F-16).

F-16

wow tough battle..

tomtom, umm, reason? heh
