Appears to be a neologism. All of the aircraft mentioned in this article except the Caudron C.714 (It's claim that it is a light fighter is uncited) are not called light fighters.The F-16 was born out of the Lightweight fighter program but is designated as a multirole fighter.

Comment: Here are the results of 2 minutes searching of the term "light fighter" in wiki articles. These include examples of aircraft that were referred to by their sponsors or builders as "light" or "lightweight" fighters, as well as (in the modern examples) aircraft that are referred to in that fashion by the industry press. Many of these links include such terminology in the first or second sentence of the article. WWII-era examples: Caudron C.714, Arsenal VG-33, Bell XP-77, Tucker XP-57, Douglas XP-48, Miles M.20, Martin-Baker MB 2, Ambrosini SAI.207, Ambrosini SAI.403, VEF I-16, [1] Cold war examples: Aero L-159 Alca, Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet, Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, BAC Strikemaster, Aermacchi MB-326, Aermacchi MB-339, Folland Gnat Modern examples: Sukhoi S-56, AMX International AMX, KAI T-50 Golden Eagle, Soko J-22 Orao, Soko G-4 Super Galeb, Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master, Yakovlev Yak-130, [ http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/08/air-force-to-get-new-light-fighter/], [2], [3], [4], [5] So: clearly not a neologism, widely used by everyone involved, clearly many examples even if the current article doesn't include them. Type the term into Google Books, for instance. Maury Markowitz ( talk) 14:09, 18 December 2010 (UTC) reply
