Hi Viper,

Good points there Viper. I asked the question because I was very interested in peoples opinions of the 2 aircraft and it's great that so many people replied to this one because they found the comparisson interesting.

It's hard to say which one is the best they are very similar in most respects. Alot will depend on the pilot as well though, I feel. Alot of the people compare the aircraft outright when we also have to measure the aircraft with 2 equally good pilots. Reason is good pilots will be able to push the aircraft beyond it's limit's. Saying this we have to consider that the F-18 Super Hornet is a new aircraft and the F-16 is 20yrs old or so. The F-16 still performs well after all these years, this is what makes it a trully great aircraft and this is why I love the plane so much.

Regards

Rapier
