I recall that as well but never wondered why. And of course we were often treated to the party piece STOL – the short landing with masses of noise and smoke from the reversers, the reverse turn trough 180o and the thundering short take-off in the opposite direction to the landing. Fantastic!:D
Of course we have. That’s why we find him so funny because it means we don’t have to laugh at ourselves! He’s our surrogate. I can’t remember how we coped before the character was created. Or perhaps there was less for us to be curmudgeonly about.

Well analysed. I had forgotten that the F16 was contemporary so I suppose that fly-by-wire will always be superior in terms of manoeuvrability. And it will never have flown at Red Flag or Tiger Meets unless the Swedes were invited as guests.
