But, you know Bob, that many F-16s have been brought home on a dead stick. Training makes the difference.

But, you know Bob, that many F-16s have been brought home on a dead stick. Training makes the difference.

Not a completely dead stick though - if they lose the engine, the EPU will fire, giving them 7-10 minutes of electric power - that's the only connection the pilot has to the flight controls. Lose that, and you lose the aircraft.
