I didn't say they were better... just cooler... and not because of Top Gun

And actually I was a fan of them (and most US jet in the 80s) before Top Gun came, Read a lot about them anywere I could. I had a huge collection of Fighter jet plastic models as a kid, F14 1 in 1:48 scale...and 2 in 1:75, F18, F16 and even a F4 which was F14's predecessor (right?).
So yes I know F15 (and F22) are in the Airforce
F16 is (was?) in the Army
and F14 and F18 are used in the navy.
My question is, what has replaced F16 if it has been replaced (I have not been keeping up... for like 16 years [img]smile.gif[/img] ), Was it the A-10? I remember it being nicknamed Tankbuster or something like that.
