So sales guy for LM, who is a development partner of the Korean T-50/FA-50, tries to convince their Irish audience that the T-50/FA-50 advanced trainer/light combat aircraft is equivalent to an all-weather/multi-role aircraft such as the F-16 by comparing the new price of the '50 to the hypothetical used price for F-16's.

And for now a moot argument, there's plenty of steps for the Defence Forces to go though before jets arrive ... if they do.
