*** Posted by Tiger *** Can you tell me how this works?

*** Posted by Tiger *** Do I bother you with so many questions, John? This forum looks full of my questions. I ask so many questions because of 2 problems : 1. I'm a student at the University of Aerospace Engineering. 2. As you know, I love the F16. If you don't like something please let me know. Thanks, John PS: I'm not crazy!

*** Posted by Tiger *** Please tell me what is the role of the second pilot in two seat F16?

*** Posted by RUN *** The higher you go, the thinner the air gets and therefore drag is reduced. An F-16 uses significant less fuel at higher altitudes than it does at sealevel. RUN [I would like to know why you are not using the same quantity of fuel in different altitudes?]

*** Posted by Run *** The F-16 is definately the more stealthy of the 2. If you ever get close to a MIG-29 you will see that the finish is not very smooth & this greatly increases the RCS. RUN [Does the F16 has a smaller RCS than the MIG29? Which one is more stealthy? Tiger]

*** Posted by Run *** If you have good speed, plug in the burner & meet him at corner velocity. RUN [Assume that you are at 10000 ft. In front of you at aprox. 5 miles is a MIG29 at an alt about 20000 ft. It's very clear that you are disadvantaged because the dif. of alt. What would you do in this situation? Both fighters have only ...

*** Posted by Run *** It's a nice feature, but I wouldn't call it the most important. It's hard to pinpoint one specific thing. It is more the combination. RUN [I think I forgot something. Are you agreed that the F16 has a big advantage with all around visibility? Don't you think this is the most important adv. in a dogfight? Thanks John Tiger]
