A pilot with over a thousand hours in a F-16 beat a pilot with a handful of hours in a F-35. Not exactly a fair fight.

But even if it was, it doesn't matter. Dogfights are an outdated thing now. Fights are now decided when they are miles away from each other.

Now just imagine if he'd gone up against a 70 year old in an F-4 Phantom 2. That guy would have tens of thousands of hours against someone with just a few. He'd clearly win!

Or doesn't it work like that?
