I thought F-16’a were single seaters!

They’re supposed to be, but I wouldn’t put it past the Israelis to modify it so heavily it needs a weapons officer.

We had two-seat F-16 Block 50 aircraft in the Tulsa Air National Guard.

2-seaters exist and are used variously.

I think I would rather sit there and let the Israeli A.F. bomb where they want, than shoot one of their planes down. That will not work out well in the long run for Assad.

This would be an F-16I - It's their special version.

I'm hearing a second IDF jet may have been hit.

F-16’s have both single seat and dual seat variants. Before my old unit converted to A-10’s, we had F-16 C’s and D’s. The D Model was a two-seater. They gave a lot of incentive rides to unit members!
