Default Howler of an error in media reporting

This is mainly for MLU members within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)...although other MLUers will no doubt appreciate the content.

Today's Toronto Sun (Sat, Sep 4 2010, p9) shows some profiles of the aircraft which will participate in the annual Canadian International Air Show (CIAS) held at the waterfront as part of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) during this somewhat soggy Labour Day weekend.

Halfway down the page is a title: F16 Fighting Falcon. Shown is an airplane in the configuration of a Mirage III or a Dassault (same?). It is definitely a delta wing config.

Those of you of the military aircraft observer persuasion know full well the config of an F16...not even close to a "Delta Dagger" type at all.

Truth in advertising..............Where the Hell do they get the researchers and/or proof readers?

York U, no doubt! (Inside Toronto joke.)

Google the entry, then giggle or gag.
