"I almost went crazy when the AF said it was ‘too slow’ and wanted to replace it with (I think) the F-18 or F16."

They tried to pass off some CAS F-16s as "A-16s" at one point.

It didn't last very long as I remember.

I got to spend some time at Nellis AFB to watch them work. I still have a video tape about it. The tape ends with a scene saying, “Think A-16!”
