====Not that it matters Geff, but I 100% agree with your stand. There have
been numerous incidents of 9+ G saves during the F-4 era...which can no
longer take place with the F-16. I assume the one F-16 loss you mentioned
was the Red Flag low level incident where the airplane ran out of airspeed
and simply nosed into the ground?
Another area of concern that I have is the availability of overboosting the
engines to get short duration added thrust which might save an airplane and
a lot of people...try that in an Airbus or other EEC equipped engine.
However, while we can't get the extra when we need it we also will not be
allowed to get it when we screw up. But then, that is what they pay pilots
big bucks for...not to screw up too often.
