Six-day war ace Col. Giora Epstein said something along the lines of the Fly-by-Wire bit mentioned in the video. He complained that the F-16 flies the pilot instead of the pilot flying it!
@planefreak3 I'm talking about @1:14 or so. Looking at it more closely, I think I'm just getting confused because the engines haven't been put in yet so it looks like the airbrake is protruding back farther than the body and it looks like the back of the Su-27.
fly-by-wire on aircraft is like traction control on cars, lol

Is that really a MiG-29 that they're showing under construction? The empennage looks like an Su-27.

12 g's...? thats it? I always thought the plane it self could withstand like 20 g's or more...

why should a plane withstand more Gs than the pilot in it?

Do you want it to break apart while it's in high g turn?
