Actually TL

The F-16 is one of the most manuvrable fighters in the world. Along with the Sweedish Viggen (and it's new replacement JA-something) and the latest Sukoi fighter from Russia (model after the SU-27, may still be prototype).

The F-15 is a combo long range interdictor/light bomber like the F-14, but it is no way close to a dog fighter.

The F-117 Night Hawk (Stealth) has no buisness having the F designator, because it is an attack plane. It has ZERO air combat capability. It's air crews have called it the Wobbly Goblin, because it's just ugly - among other reasons.
