PAF receives first batch of F-16 Block-52 Aircraft

[hataf]

Chill out every one crying about CFTs and not finding them on the new arrivals. Lets get away with this mind set that if we do not see something we want to see, then it is piece of junk.

For your information, external fuel tanks are mostly used for ferrying flights and that is a normal operating procedure.

Lets not make a mountain out of nothing.

i think flight from USA to PAKISTAN is a ferrying flight

Zaki It's most probably some technical issue with jet hence delivery for that jet delayed.I guess it'll come with the batch of next 4 F-16's.

we are supposed to receive 1 batch each month right? so i presume we will be receiving one extra aircraft next month

@ Imran Khan

very funny - joke of the day

 

[M8R]

yes, that is correct - Next Batch of 4 F-16's would be arriving next month.I would imagine if the issue is fixed the jet would come along with them.

3 new F-16 fighters arrive in Pakistan from US

Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: The first batch of the latest version F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft arrived at Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Base Shahbaz in Jacobabad on Saturday.

The three aircraft were flown from the US to Pakistan by PAF pilots, who recently completed their training in the US.

Air Marshal Muhammad Hassan and Deputy Chief of the Air Staff (Operations) Air Marshal Waseemud Din, along with other senior PAF officials received the aircraft at the base.

Pakistan had signed a contract with the US government in 2005-06 for the acquisition of 18 F-16 C/D Block 52 aircraft.

Under the arrangement, PAF would receive these state-of-the-art aircraft from the US government in various batches. The delivery of all 18 aircraft would be completed by the end of this year.

The F-16 C/D Block 52 aircraft is a high-tech fighter aircraft equipped with sophisticated state-of-the-art avionics suite, latest weapons with night precision attack capability. These aircraft are technologically superior to the F-16 A/Bs already being used by the PAF.
