I ordered my Stealth R (Little Feat) in 2001 when F16's hadn't been conceived. And although recently sales have been fairly good I am still surprised at how slowly the Class is actually growing in Europe for no apparent reason hence the thread. How many professionally manufactured F16's are going to be sold in Europe this year compared to the F104? If we are not careful we might gain an elitist title for all the wrong reasons.
Please don't get me wrong my heart is in the right place and I want the Class to gain the sustainability and credibility it deserves but it's not going to be an easy ride and things might have to change.
