Your welcome.  And don't worry about not being up on aircraft, I am far from
an expert.  I should be able to identify an F-16 since I have been around
them for the past 14 years.  What makes it easier is the single engine
configuration.  Now if you ask me to discern the different variations of the
F-16, I will have to decline ;-)

Thanks, Cesar,

When I was a kid, I lived about 1/2 mile from the Canadair factory (now
Bombardier Aerospace) in Montreal.  They made, among other things, CF 104
Starfighters (aka Widowmakers, due to their penchant for stalling just prior
to
landing).  I think they serviced Voodoos as well, because they flew over our
house all the time as well.  We knew every military jet going.  I guess I
haven't kept up with things over the past 35 years or so <g>.

Funny, but you're responding to my post which hasn't even shown up on my
computer yet.  Hmmmm.....

regards,
frank
