The F16 is a crap plane . . .

So what's your point? That the Greeks have more balls than the
French?

Again, what's your point?

That a Mirage once shot down an F16? Accidentally, no less?

This incident proves very little. In fact all of these discussions about one
type of jet being able to easily beat another type of jet is totally
disengenuous anyway. The aircraft don't fight each other; the pilots fight
each other using the aircraft. Any expert will tell you that they'd put
money on a good pilot in a bad plane over a bad pilot in a good plane any
day. The equipment obviously helps a great deal, but will never compensate
for skill (or lack thereof).

The articles you posted make no reference to the experience of the involved
pilots. For all we know it was the top Greek ace vs. someones first day on
the job.

And show me a pattern of Mirage's shooting down F-16's in various scenarios
and with different pilots, then maybe you'll have grounds for a point.

variable absolutes. This is not to be mistaken for an unbiased slant.

Why, don't they have two like the rest of us?

Well, Mirages do have superior white flag dispensers.

Such good backup and opinion. You are to be admired for your brilliant
evaluation. Thank you so much.

Give a Mirage in the same air as me and let's find out. No AAM's, just guns.
