F-16s.....40+ years old...yeah

Still very deadly weapons.

Ukraine is using them to great advantage against the Russians.

The F-15 is a 50 year old fighter jet, and still considered the most feared jet in the skies.

Oh yeah. I watched a Lockheed-Martin guy mess around in an F-15 once when I was doing some work out at Fort Worth JRB (Carswell) a few years ago.

Thing is, your pilots better have a good handle on those things. Otherwise it’s just an expensive toy.
