== New to fighter aircraft ==
If you have never flown an aircraft like this one before (Just light planes or airliners), crashed it before landing or just are not sure, how to land a right way; there is an article ''[[A-4F Skyhawk Operations Manual]]'' by Andy Ross. Although is written for the [[Douglas A-4]] most of the information contain general stuff about fly delta wing aircraft, about stall, AoA and landing maneuver and applies to the F-16 too.
