Back in the days when the F-16 was a test plane at Edwards, those of us who flew the 15 and others said, “Never pilot a plane when you are only a voting member.”
That used to be Boeing’s philosophy. Now they appear to be approaching the Airbus philosophy. IMHO, not good.
That’s what one Israeli said about the F-16. Which I’m sure is an amazing plane.
He missed the Mirage III with its hydraulic controls and the feel of such.
It was IAF pilot Giora Epstein

It’s fun watching these videos with Ron Ronin and the others.
” “Never pilot a plane when you are only a voting member.””
Sadly, airlines are demanding Boeing add more computer controls to squeeze more fuel efficiency.
