another SINGLE engined regular crashing Viper bites the dust.. told ya
so... twins much safer...

heavens forbird the F-35 ever entering service...it will replicate the
F-16 in every way.. just be a more costly toy.



Lets look at the actual Class A loss rates shall we
http://safety.kirtland.af.mil/AFSC/R...aft_stats.html

F-4 4.64
F-5 8.82
F-15 2.47
F-16 4.19
F-16 (Engine mishaps) 1.53
F-102 13.69
F-104 30.63
F-106 9.47
F-111 6.13
F-117 4.62



Seems like the F-16 is a pretty safe airplane in fact, only the
F-15 has bettered it in safety terms
