Russ,
I’m 59 years old entering my last year of military (ANG) service and am still flying the F-16. There are things to be said about comfort and riding but when it comes to shear fun with what’s left of my hair on fire the venerable ol 130 is just not going to cut it! There are fighters and then there are targets. The 130 is a target. When it comes to the fight, I’ll take 4 X 4 gun any day with the ability to shoot back not throughing trash out to the back. As for comfort, the Viper is strapped on like your favorite pair of driving gloves. You strap her on as an extension of yourself not walk up the steps/ramp into a cavern. With that 30 degree tilt seat, I’m quite comfortable in that little cocoon with the panoramic view not having to ID my foe by looking out at the world through a portal. Although a nimble aircraft, the 130 will shuck her wings at 9 Gs everytime!

A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by.
The jet jockey decided to show off.
The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, 'watch this!' and promptly
went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished
with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier. The F-16 pilot
asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that?
The C-130 pilot said, 'That was impressive, but watch this!'
The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130
pilot came back on and said: 'What did you think of that?'
Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, 'What the heck did you do?'
The C-130 pilot chuckled. 'I stood up, stretched my legs, walked
to the back, went to the bathroom, then got a cup of coffee and a
cinnamon bun.'
When you are young & foolish - speed & flash may seem a good thing !!!
When you get older & smarter - comfort & dull is not such a bad thing !!!
Us older folks understand this one.
