When Griffiss Air Force base in Utica and the base at Plattsburg NY were active we were up to our eyeballs in B52's about round the clock. Could look up and almost always see at least two B-52's in the air, sometimes more. Used to have A-10's at Fort Drum. Hardly a day went by when two or three A-10 weren't making practice runs on you at tree top level.
As usual, the military brass tried to use the F-16's for something they were not designed for. They were designed as a pure air superiority fighter. The military uses them for everything but that. The National Guard (the boys from Syracuse, as they were called) flew F-16's. They were a joy to watch. They'd flip those things around like you'd toss a pen in the air. Those guys trained hard. Was a real feather in their cap when they held their own in Iraq with the Air Force regulars.
Have a family member who works for Lockhead-Martin. Says the latest versions of the F-35 will do everything all of the current inventory of planes will do and more. Including the F-22 on the high tech end of the scale and the A10 on the low tech end of the scale. Time will tell.

As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
