Q. What is the difference between national and international?
TuAF conducts annual Anatolian Eagle exercises - one version is national, for TuAF only and the other is international, with friendly air forces. TuAF has honoured the PAF by also letting its pilots fly in the national Anatolian Eagle exercises under Turkish command and wearing Turkish flags and badges. This is a unique honour given only to PAF pilots. The exchange pilots also get to fly TuAF F-16s in the Anatolian Eagle international exercises. So you could have 6 visiting PAF pilots flying their own PAF F-16s and the one PAF exchange pilot flying with the Turks in a TuAF F-16.

Q. Any memorable experiences that you would like to share?
On one occasion – in one of the international Anatolian Eagles - PAF pilots were pitted against RAF Typhoons, a formidable aircraft. There were three set-ups and in all three, we shot down the Typhoons. The RAF pilots were shocked.http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-aviation/22396-interviews.html

PAF didn't get the DRFM jammers on its F-16 Block 50s. A big difference, is it ?

Yar
I have not heard any thing new but last I heard PAF was hankering for 14 new Bl52s and 26 Bl15s, not sure whether they would have been MLUed or not.It seems US does not have suitable replacements so the surge towards Europe to find appropriate specimens.
I respect Hkhan greatly but he has been saying since last yr that the embargoed planes will be released but so far no one else has confirmed it. So we have to wait
A little tit bit for you, the last air attache to US got sent back for amatter concerning a PAF calender. We have known about Hafeez Piracha since last yr.#

Block 15OCU
214 aircraft from Block 15Y onwards received upgraded systems starting late-1987. Designated Block 15OCU (Operational Capability Upgrade), these aircraft are powered by the more reliable F100-PW-220 turbofan. These aircraft also have structural strengthening and are provided with the enlarged HUD that was first introduced on the F-16C/D. Also incorporated are the capability to fire the Norwegian Penguin Mk.3 anti-shipping missile (built by Kongsberg, US designation AGM-119) and the AGM-65, provisions for the AIM-120 AMRAAM, radar altimeter, expanded computer capacity, data transfer unit, wide-angle HUD, AN/APX-101 IFF, Tracor AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser and provisions for the AN/ALQ-131 ECM pod. These modifications increased the max. TO weight to 37,500lbs (17,010kg). The first Block 15OCU was delivered in January 1988, and from 1988 onwards, all Block 15's were built to OCU specifications.






Untill now, only half of the 28 Pakistani AF F-16A/B OCU aircraft stored at the AMARCbeen redelivered, with the remainder still to follow.
