And again, the ground attack capabilities are irrelevant - for us.
Afaik they still produce some new F16s for NICs.

If the Tiger wasn't such bitch to maintain and had a bigger airframe with space for modern avionics I'd vote to keep them.

lol no, cos the F-16 is waaaaay cheaper to use than a F-35, which is gonna start being delivered in 2 years.
I'm starting to wonder whether you want an efficient jet or a fancy one ;)

With what do should the airforce replace the jets if not the F35?
There were no alternatives, and the F35 IS the F16 replacement.

Makes me wonder what your definition of efficient is. :confused:
It doesn't get more efficient than the "Ikea plane".
