Its rich content covers a variety of aircraft, from high-tech superfighters such as the Lockheed Martin F-16, the Lockheed F-117 "Nighthawk," and the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 "Hornet," to their original intended opponents, such as the MiG-29 "Fulcrum," the Su-27 "Flanker," and the Tupolev Tu-22M "Backfire."
