Gross Misrepresentation/Nothing to do with F-16

"I'll even be harder than the previous reviewer on this absolute piece of trash. Here is why. The DVD, like the previous reviewer has stated, probably has less if not only 5 minutes of F-16 footage and it is uninspiring at that. There are no discussions of flight characteristics, no in cockpit views, no comparisons to adversarial or contemporary competitor aircraft. There is nothing "in-depth" about it. The only footage provided are some basic test flights showing basic flight maneuvers. That footage is in the opening and closing credits of the film. The rest of the film is dedicated to the history of air warfare and it does not even cover that appropriately. The whole DVD is about 30 minutes long.Don't waste your money on this poorly constructed and falsely marketed piece of junk."

Not much about the F-16, but good video

"If you are looking for an in-depth look at the F-16, this DVD does not deliver. I'd say this DVD presents a grand total of about 5 minutes of F-16 footage. Why did I give this DVD 3 stars? It contains some truly amazing footage of arial combat during WWI and WWII. From the cockpit, we see and hear what a fighter pilot of the time would see and hear, and watch as bi-planes and single-engine WWII aircraft get blown out of the sky. Those views saved this DVD from 1 star."
