Cranked arrow deltas have a special place in my heart, thanks to the Draken. The F16XL is the most downtoearth of Ace Combat's experimentals because it's a variant of the most produced modern fighter, and ultimately, just an alternative universe F15E. And yet... that wing shape will always be striking.

This was a pleasant surprise. Its stats place it as a midtier and (by far) the weakest DLC aircraft, but it handles really nicely! Curious to see its stats when they're found. Weapons are nothing to write home about, but more than workable enough. Figure it was only right to bring it the home of the experimental pack trailer music.
