"There's a reason why the top 'aggressor' pilots in both the USAF and USN, up until very recently when they standardized with F-16s, flew lightweight and seemingly under-equipped fighters such as A-4s, T-38s/F-5s and IAI F-21s - and usually won - against the much heavier top USAF and NATO fighters."
