The F-16 doesn't even have a mechanical linkage to backup with. Back when they were new we had a rash of "incidents" here in Utah, with a squadron based out of Hill AFB. They said it wasn't the computers, but sometimes one of them would just fall down, for no apparent reason.
I'm glad they have the backup systems.
