I worked on F-15's for 4 years and got to put a few back together after some mid-air collisions. Pretty amazing how much damage they can fly with. With the F-16 though, it only has one engine and if you lose that you are toast. The F-15 people loved to make jokes about F-16's. We called them "Lawn Darts" because of the long spike on their nose and their high accident rate. We used to have a large picture in our break room of a field with a bunch of F-16's stuck nose first in the ground.
