U.S. Air Force YF-16 and YF-17, 1982
Two single-seat YF-16 prototypes were built for the Light Weight Fighter (LWF) competition. The first YF-16 was rolled out at Fort Worth on 13 December 1973 and accidentally accomplished its first flight on 21 January 1974, followed by its scheduled "first flight" on 2 February 1974. The second prototype first flew on 9 March 1974. Both YF-16 prototypes participated in the flyoff against the Northrop YF-17 prototypes, with the F-16 winning the Air Combat Fighter (ACF) competition, as the LWF program had been renamed.

This was the next step in my aircraft building skills. I've received a lot of advice. which I have brought several improvements Many things, just the right speed Not too much acceleration I'm always trying to improve. I only have 1 year of experience in this game, so the results are what it looks like. Thank you for all your support. Thanks for all the votes
