The F16 is extremely easy to learn to fly and land.

It takes a decade, however, to become worth a crap as a fighter pilot in one.

That depends on the mission.

If the mission is to orbit in western Ukraine and intercept cruise missiles, then minimum training would be required.

I have always admired the attack on the Baghdad reactor. Do you know any of the pilots that flew that mission?

Hope all is well with you.
