Somewhat on this same thread, how would an F-16 fare 1 on 1 with an
F-18?  Again, assuming pilots of roughly equal skill, etc.  Also, what
is the main criteria that these outcomes are based on?  Armament?
Agility?  I remember reading somewhere that pilots valued straight out
speed as much as, if not more than, agility in the air.
