Hi guys,

If got a question.
Its about the vertical stabilizers.
Why does some fighters have two of those and some have one?
Look at this: http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/Air...Afterburner.jpg
2 Vertical stabilizers.

And this: http://www.aeronautics.ru/lockheed/f-16_fa...lcon/f16-10.jpg
1 Vertical stabilizer.

Why is that?
And what are the differences about it?
