The F-35A can mathc the F-16 in terms of maneuverability, instantaneous and high-g performance and outperform it when it comes to stealth, range on internal fuel, avionics, operational effectiveness, supportability and survivability.

In 2013, the A variant will be replacing the USAF's F-16 Fighting Falcons and on 2028, to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II.
