Default Internal antenna or whip?

I have been flying with a whip antenna in my F-16, and never had a glitch while airborne...

However, it would look much cooler with the antenna inside the plane - there is not a lot of carbon
in the nose of my plane, and I was thinking about routing the antenna all the way forward....

Anyone had any experience with this? I fly all my other planes with internal antennas, but the jet has more
metallic components, so I don't know if it's a good idea?

Take a look at the pictures - it does look better without the whip, right??
