Interesting that the opening topic in Hemo's presentation is about the importance of being able to get slow with your adversary.

On the other hand, I don't think anyone can attribute much importance to the rather well-worn F-16 vs F-35 saga. Most of us here (well, the aircrew and engineers at least) will have seen how the outcomes of trials (and certain exercises) can be misconstrued if one does not know all the details of the parameters and objectives. That is not to say a 5g "fighter" is likely to out-manoeuvre a 9g one - even if it can fly very slowly at very high aoa.
