The Fox report on this was really skewed. The reporter talked about the number and frequency of F-16 crashes. But she neglected to mention that there are more F-16s (1,018) hence more flying hours that any other USAF airplane. (Compare to 468 F-15 C/E or 187 A-10s)
Single engine is always going to be an issue.
Maybe somebody should tell Fox that in the last 10 years, the F-16 has a record of successful ejections of 100% (if they didn’t make it, it’s because they didn’t pull the handle). And you’re right, the F-16 is the workhorse of the fleet. Nobody is racking up flight hours like the F-16.
