cool pics, tho i'll be the rivet counter and point out the F-17 would have been the Cobra in USAF service. makes you wonder tho about a world where the F-17 won the LWF competition and the F/A-16 the Navy Air Combat Fighter requirement

Aye, I agree. I'd actually forgotten about the Cobra name.

My God! It's over 43 years since the conclusion of the LWF/ACF competition!
