What is your review for the documentary: "The Ultimate History Of The F16 Fighter"?

The F-16 "Fighting Falcon" is the world's most popular modern fighter. More than 4,400 aircraft are operated by the Air Forces of more than 24 countries. Since it first flew in 1974, the F-16 has shown itself to be remarkably flexible and adaptable to upgrades.

When it first flew, it was considered way ahead of it's time in flight control, avionics integration and cockpit features. But today's processors are a hundred times more powerful than those available in the 1970's and yet, the F-16 has been able to adapt to the new technologies as hey come on stream. In fact, the F-16 is so successful that it is envisaged being in service until well into the 21st century.

This programme features unique footage of F-16 flight tests as well as presenting its combat record, especially during the two wars in Iraq. It finishes with a superb display sequence by a Belgian Air Force F-16
