      What kinda amazes me is the F-5's agility, which for it's time was better than most of its adversaries other than SU-27 & Mig 29.
      The F-5 has to have pretty high wing loading because of the short wings, which typically in a fighter of that era indicates an interceptor with horrible dogfighting capability. F-5 though, if you look at it from beneath, has a wide, flat area where the wings blend into the fuselage. Most fighter jets of the time were basically engine tubes with swept wings tacked on; the F-5 appears to have some lifting body elements to it's design.

      It's not that insane. it's 40 Blue planes spamming Aim-120C vs 40 Red planes spamming R-77/73/etc. Sometimes an F-14 spamming Phoenixes and the occasional mig-2000 pilot trying to figure out Magics only to get blown by an ET.

      The F5 was designed in the 50s. It is a 3rd generation airframe design and a pair of highly inefficient afterburning turbojet engines. The f16 was designed in the 70s, and is a 4th generation air frame with an unstable design and a fly by wire system (maximizes airframe performance). It uses a modern (4th gen engine with 5th gen technology and development added over many iterations) single low bypass afterburning turbofan (specific fuel consumption is massively improved in transonic flight as compared to a turbojet). The F5 was/is never going to achieve the performance needs of the modern US air force with such a small airframe, inferior aerodynamic performance, and inefficient low thrust engines. Airframe performance more or less peaked with 4th generation airframe design and at this point digital technology, weapon systems, stealth, and engines are the leading point of performance improvements. The F5 is not large enough to support these developments and the airframe would have to be completely redone, basically it would not be the F5 anymore. The closest example would be the F-CK-1 as far as a modern F5 design is concerned, which is like an f16 and an F5 had a child, cool plane, check it out if you haven’t seen it.

      hey man, the F-16 is a great aircraft but its got a lot of development still to go, I recommend getting the F-18 Hornet there is a lot more to do with it, and its a great starter aircraft the systems are pretty simple to learn and its capable of a lot of things so there is lots to learn, not to mention its carrier capable so that opens the door for all kinds of naval operations for you.

      I enjoyed your vid on the Gripen as I belive it was in the running to replace the CF 18's. They were offering Canada a better deal by willing to build most of the aircraft in Canada. So was cool to see what it was capable of.
