KR> Fly by wire

[Andy Mckevitz]

I remember a mirage pilot say that the mirage was the last real jet fighter 
because he could feel the stress during maneuvers and was more than honored to 
fly it [then compared it to the F-16].  He shared a love flying that plane.  
Given history, I like the wire controls.  Hydraulics and electronics are 
necessary in some circumstances.   What are those circumstances here?
