What I don't understand (well I do because building airplanes is all about keeping the costs down) is why they keep using these "obsolete" and fragile vane sensors.

Back in 1979 when we first got the F-16's we where all too happy to see "new" differential pressure activated AOA sensors. => But => But => And that is where it all goes dark => They are more expensive.
