Tony- I heard it was easier to fly around the boat than the Phantom, was that
true for you? BRBR

It wasn't true for anybody that flew both around the boat. Much less stable
nose in terms of holding on speed AOA, wallowed when turning, no
ARI(aileron-rudder interconnect), turned with spoilers, which means it went
down when you turned. I think the only good thing is that it had a lot more
gas. Systems to help ya get aboard was similar to the F-4, Spn41/2, DME, no
hud. Autothrottle sucked because being turbofans. DLC was nice.

I flew the F-16N, in VF-126(XO/CO)
