Yes, I mean it. I am currently an Instructor on the AT-38 and I haven't flown the F-16 since 1999 and we flew block 15's, currently beeing upgraded with Midlife Update (MLU).
You are never wrong to go with the F-16. It is the best jet out there from a pilots perspective. Bubble canopy, tiltback seat, side stick etc. It is a dream to fly. Sure in a dogfight there are aircraft that can outperform the F-16, but 95+% of future engagements are going to be BVR or atleast over within 90 degrees of turn.
The F-16 is the Mustang of over time. It is a dream to fly.
Pick the country you like the best. Both will have great aircraft by the time you get through your training.
[when you say you havnt got any idea, do you mean it. Or are you just not aloud to say? Anyway, so would i be wrong in choosing a 16 as the plane to be in during a dogfight? Also i have staring my flying training, and as i am both American and British, which airforce do you think would best suit me after i finnish my flying training? Im doing my flying training in the UK.
