Well i know im a dummy and just a beginner so id like to ask a question
Is there any general way you could calculate the payload of an aircraft??
I tried using the loaded and empty weights difference

for Mirage 2000 it worked and the payload came out exactly as the difference (13,800 kg - 7,500 kg = 6300 Kg)

For F-16 the difference is 3430 Kg while its payload is alot higher

For Mig-29 the difference is 5800 Kg while its payload according to wiki is just 3500 Kg/4500 Kg reported for SMT

For JF-17 the difference is 2689 Kg while its payload is said to be 3800 Kg

Then I also took the difference of max take off weight and loaded weight

for Mig-29 it came out to be 4200 Kg

For F-16 it came out to be 7200 Kg

For Mirage 2000 it came out to be 3200 Kg

and for JFT it was 3600 Kg

can some one plz explain
thanks in advance

subtract empty weight from maximum take off weight . thats it .
The payload may be substituted by fuel/weapons accordingly
dont confuse b/w payload weapon load and payload.
Generally weapon loads like lbg and drop fuel tanks are carried externally where aircraft is loaded upto maximum take off weight . Then they are dropped in b/w after the payload is used(fuel consumed or bomb dropped)

They thought of landing it on the overpass but the speed breaker at the end posed a problem.

Lol, are you trying to ridicule me monsieur santro?, it could have been taken in a truck you know, rather than towing it!!!

it is an old pic i have seen this some time earlier but didn,t remember the city mentioned............

No no friends. What Santro said was a joke! What I am saying is true! As Karachi is near the border with India, they didn't want to give them a scare on the Radar with the Thunder flying. Hence they thought to ride it down, rockin n rollin, with the Pilot having music on full speakers

Thats the reality!
