As part of its future fleet, Top Aces intends to introduce the F-16 which is considered by many to be the most agile fighter aircraft of its generation. Its superior speed, acceleration, maneuverability, small visual and radar signature, and ability to integrate advanced sensors and threat systems have made it the aircraft of choice for the USAF and USN Aggressor fleets since 1988. As the only true fourth generation airframe available to train US combat air forces, the F-16s upgraded by Top Aces will present the most advanced adversary capability in the industry, and the platform of choice for training 5th generation fighter pilots.
