Fighter Jet Pilot Explains Why The F-16 Is So Unbelievably Lethal

Published|Updated

The bad guys are in trouble when F-16s start flying through the air in their direction.

America has a large arsenal of fighter jets, and one of the most popular and well-known airframes is the F-16. It's an incredible piece of American technology that has kicked butt in plenty of different wars and conflicts.

What makes it so great and unique? I spoke with former F-16 pilot Jason Cooper on American Joyride, and he pulled back the curtain on the capabilities and role of the famous fighter jet.

You can watch his comments starting around 6:00 and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
