    I have Falcon, F-16 Combat Pilot, F/A-18 Interceptor, and Flight Simulator
II. My favorite is definately Falcon. F/A-18 and Combat Pilot are also both
good combat simulators but the don't have the same feel of realism that you 
get with Falcon.
   You really never get in  FA-18 or Combat Pilot a dogfight because of
medium range missiles. I personally like the dogfighting the best. Combat Pilot
has all of the latest weapons and includes weather and night missions ... I 
enjoyed playing it for a long time (and still due) but if I had to keep just
one it would be Falcon. You should check your version of Falcon. V1.0 had
almost impossible landing parameters. They fixed this in V1.1 and offered an
upgrade free of charge to registered owners. Also Falcon has Operation
Counterstrike when you get tired of the missions that come with Falcon.
Also the main reason I got bored of FA-18 is that it became very easy after
a while, Combat Pilot is getting that way also, But Falcon on Colonel is still
not easy and I have had it for over a year and play it often. To answer your 
question about F-16 Combat Pilot, If you have the money to spend and really
love flight sim. I would recommend it. I was happy with it. It makes a nice
change from Falcon now and then...
