@fredmdbud Don't forget to quote that in full: "A Jack of all trades, master of none, is often better than a master of one".
That is exactly what the F-16 is, and was specifically designed to be. The latest Viper block expands on that further, to the point that many purpose built air craft are on par or only very slightly better than the F-16. It can practically do everything an F-35 can do, except be stealthy. And in an age that focuses heavily on long range stand-off munitions having a plane that can be kitted out to be a flying bomb tuck, while also being a good recon, CAS and SEAD plane, should a pressing need arise, is damn useful. Broadly speaking the F-35, F-22 and B2/B21 are the only ones worth bothering with. Everything else, not transport or AWACS related, can be fulfilled with up to date F-16s.
