I have one particular question about the RoCAF that has puzzled me all along; why do or did they prefer the F16 as its primary fighter AC instead of the F15? Did they prefer the multi role capabilities of the F16 to air dominance? I know their F16s have been 'seriously' re-engineered but surely there is only one plane with a record under its belt when it comes to A-to-A combat. Or at least they would have done sort of assortment in their 160 fleet.
