Here is an entry for these two planes: General Dynamics F-16 Single-seat fighter, fighter-bomber. One P & W F-100 Fighting Falcon turbofan. 1330 mph at 40,000 ft. In service with USAF and several other air forces. Northrop YF-17A Single-seat all-weather interceptor fighter. Two Two General Electric YJ-101. Mach 2.0 at 40,000 ft. Lost out to F-16 for production orders. Only 2 built. Served as basis for F/A-18 Hornet. Hope this helps.
