re: #180 Targetpractice

But it was part of the ACF contest, of which the Navy was ordered after it finished to adopt one of the two prototypes as a new light fighter to compliment the F-14. The Navy didn’t trust the YF-16’s single-engine and narrow undercarriage design to be easily adapted to naval operations, so they went with the YF-17.

Which became the F/A-18…
