Did they switch pilots and repeat the test?

It is possible the F16 jockey is just a better pilot.

My first thought too.

If they get the same result from multiple pilots, there may be something here.

One guy, though, could be said to be sour grapes at being bested in the air by a better stick.

Basic physics. Wide jets are not maneuverable. There is going to be a lot of air resistance when the plain changes direction.

Only matters if you really think a good driver in a VW should be able to beat a bad driver in a Ferrari. It should have been a turkey shoot.

I would expect nothing less given the current state of our military. Specialization and real engineering is so 20th Century. If you believe it hard enough, you can turn a man into a woman and perform brain surgery with a Swiss army knife!
