I’m not sure that anything can out-turn the F16 when similarly loaded, Chris.
They might have similar performance, and there might be some variation at lower
speeds (because of alpha limiters etc . . .) but the performance of these
aircraft is limited by the person inside.
I remember that F14 drivers used to boast that they could fly at lower speeds
than the F16, but then who wants to get slow in a fight?
It’s a “Rafale” by the way.
