    They’re both 4th generation airframes that have been upgraded over the years into 4.5 gen, which means there’s a lot of different variants, or blocks, floating around.

    So without knowing anything more, these are likely comparable airframes, but it really depends on when they were each produced.

      Actually…the frames are mostly aluminum and titanium… I’ll see myself out… gotta watch more drone videos. No, I’m not getting one. I just want to know what way to awkwardly curl and twist for a dignified last 5 seconds of fame for when AI takes over the sky.

      straight from wikipedia

      All F-16 aircraft supplied by Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Belgium will be the F-16AM (single-seat) / F-16BM (twin-seat) Block 15 Mid-Life Update (MLU) variants. These variants are analogous to the F-16C/D Block 30/50/52.
