To move across the sky............

Use throttle to accelerate
Use pitch to move up/down
Use roll to turn

Ag.1 for afterburners (the plane will only be stable up to a certain speed when afterburners are activated so beware)

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers.In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.
The Fighting Falcon's key features include a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted control stick to ease control while maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to reduce the effect of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system which helps to make it a nimble aircraft. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission equipment. The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots and crews, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as well as the Colonial Viper starfighter on Battlestar Galactica.
In addition to active duty for U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also used by the USAF aerial demonstration team, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. The F-16 has also been procured to serve in the air forces of 25 other nations. As of 2015, it is the world's second most numerous military aircraft and the most numerous airplane in service.

    That gun is hilariously effective. You can take out a ship with just one pass.

    Woah, that's some turning radius. It was fun flying it like this. But AI will enjoy it more with realistic handling (without front control surfaces) :)

    @Jerushah that can easily be fixed, if it needs fixing.

    You won't be disappointed about the performance (I think it might be a little to maneuverable) @EternalDarkness

    Very simple, but good looking. If performance is good as well, I'll save it for AI to fly (when I get home. You'll know by a spotlight).
