ARXW,


I am not aware of any LOCKMART brochures proclaiming the F-16 to have a 120:0 kill ratio! In fact, the most succesful fighter ever - the F-15 - only has a kill ratio of 105.5:0, so it sounds to me like someone is pulling your chain.

Indeed, I don't think that there has ever been that much of a secret made of the F-16D shootdown - it was covered by Air Forces Monthly magazine, complete with a picture of the surviving crewmember in SAR stretcher! I think that it highly unlikely that a picture of him would be released if he were IDF...
