Oh yeah it was more an aside about how interesting it is for the f16 to be relevant and powerful in a large scale conflict still! When discussing US strategy they are often discarded as obsolete

When millennials think of a fighter jet, they probably go to f16 first. Anyway with all the f35 hoopla it felt like mentioning a f16 is a boomer moment, but thankfully Russia out here causing a second golden age.

The f16 is roughly 50 years old now
