Latest issue of AI mag. has an article on Greek F-16s, which is interesting enough, but one of the interviewees said somthing very interesting.
He said that whilst the F-16 is a better multi role platform, it cannot beat the Mirage 2000 in a dogfight. Since the Greek AF operates both types and the pilot in question had considerable experience on the F-16 I see no reason to doubt this on the grounds of biased opinion of experience in the field.
Personally i like both aircraft, but since i’m not in a position to give any evidence either way, thought subject might make interesting thread.
