I think Israel has better F-16's than the USAF. Of course my government is the one paying for most of them.

Nope by purely technical standards,the best F-16s in the world are the F-16 Block 60 variants which are currently being built for the airforce of the UAE.This version has an AESA radar,conformal fuel tanks,a new engine(greater payload capability) etc.Israel's variants are Block 52 ones.Anyway putting the pilot in there will probably make the Israeli variant more capable.

PS-Israeli F-16s have always been rated as better than their American counterparts.Better pilots,ECM & the capability to operate the Python-4 AAM are the reasons being given.
