I guess the advantage it has is bags of spare lift, control authority, and thrust.
RIP for those who died.
I suspect in this case, the important thing it had, which the Lear jet doesn't is an airframe stressed to about 9g, and "battle hardened" in strategic locations........RIP for those who died.
Very sad indeed. however, even in these times training, military training still has it's risks.
Background. I know that during the f3 era, FRA ecm training Falcons were used to introduce crews to how their onboard sensors could be "spoofed".
An initial flight may well have had the interceptor crew carry out vis id's starting from the most "basic" visual version onwards.
One "trick", in the latter stages, was to have the interceptor carry out a IMC vis id pattern up to the holding point ie the point where they stop closure as they cannot ID the target. Then both aircraft, in full co-operation and communication with each other, climb slowly out of the cloud to gain visual. At this point the interceptor crew would find that they were looking [say to the left] and not have a tally where the sensor told them there should be a falcon
shortly after this a short radio call of "we're over here" would have the crew look to the right and see a blue Falcon sitting some way away. Deceptive manipulation of the onboard sensor/systems...
