F-35 Flies Against F-16....

Interesting piece by Guy Norris and Amy Butler in Aviation Week.
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has been flown in air-to-air combat maneuvers against F-16s for the first time and, based on the results of these and earlier flight-envelope evaluations, test pilots say the aircraft can be cleared for greater agility as a growth option.
One thing it doesn't mention, however, is what the scores were!
