Since we are constantly being badgered on the F16 forum by some of you F18 sailors, I think it's time to return the favor.

The F16 offers very nearly the same performance as the F18. The biggest difference being that the F18 can carry more weight.

The F16 is more versatile, so, if it happens that you like your F18 but can't find consistent crew, you might want to consider the F16. There are several makes to choose from and, unlike the F18 class, you will find the F16s very welcoming.
