Now there was a sweet looking plane, both it and the F-16XL were personal favourites.

In my campaign backstory (back when I was running a campaign), the F-16XL, called the F-16F Scamp, was available in two-squadron strength and was the steed of the Twilight War's highest-scoring ace, USAF CPT Pamela Wagner.

I just remembered we might of overlooked something regarding the F-16. During 1994-95 the USN retired 14 F-16N's & 4 TF-16N's that they were using for disimiliar combat training (NFWS, VF-43, & VF-45). (see the book "MASDC II AMARC:Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center, Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center") In the T2K timeline do you think these would have been retired ?

Probably but as soon as the war heated up they'd be stripped for spares ASAP.

The F16N's were pretty stressed out during their days as aggressor trainers. There were serious cracks in the airframes when the USN was finished with 'em.

I like the F-5 a lot and always favored the F-20 Tigershark.
