What a disgustingly ugly thing...
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".

Loved the F117 in the game zero hour

Designed in 1918...and still being used today, with still no replacement or prototype that can match it performance

Mudra is correct. New planes like the B-2A and F-22 are stealthier, faster, have greater payloads and require less maintenance upkeep on their stealth features.

Depends which model, F-16As are outdated, F-16Cs are getting there, the newer 4.5 generation Block 52+, F-16I and Block 60 used by Greece, Poland, Israel and the UAE are still going strong.

Love the F-16I, it just looks so much more powerful than an F-16C:

Yeah i too don't like the new design.The older one was making it look silk and awesome this looks strange.And of course F16's are good still when updated to the newer versions but i would only use them in SEAD missions or other type of smart tactical bombing not as a fighter and although it is proven to be good fighter i think it cannot hold against newer generation airplanes..

The external fuel tanks just look straight up wierd. But I like the paintjob on both the HAF F-16's and IAF F-16's.

You call that a paintjob?





Us Belgians and our Dutch neighbours. We know what good paintjobs are.....
but the funniest part is that the pilots often pay for them themselfs  ;D
Especialy the Tiger squadron's

Do they actually use those operationally? Or is it just a one-time for show thing?
