Sprey has pretty much about as much of an idea of what he's talking about as anyone on this forum. He's being presented as having designed the F-16; In reality, all he did was write some of the specifications that dictated how GD designed it. He has no experience of any sort when it comes to aerial combat, and according to him the F-16 shouldn't even had been fitted for long range A-A missiles. The things he claims about the F-35's ability to do its job one day is the exact same things he claimed about the F-15C until its achievements curb stomped what he'd claimed about it.
