Sure it was lightweight compared to let's say F-4, and its stable mates F-14, F-15, F-111. And cost effective only compared to them because the not to exceed price promised to European partners had exceeded even before 1980. But it was due to constant upgrades being implemented without which, it wouldn't have been the same as we know it. That's gonna happen if we wanna keep Thunder relative for today and tomorrowWas F-16 started as Lightweight, cost effective Jet ?
