not just Jordanian F-16s but for blk-52+ as well .... Army at the time when PAF was facing difficulty to pay for those F-16 blk-52+ had given its 5 years development budget to PAF during Zardari era ...
If there is chance PAF should buy Norwegian F16 package 28 planes in total but Norway wants all 28 to one customer

IMHO...if the PAF could have really gotten used F-16s, it would've done so. Even with 1000 hours left it would've found a role for such birds if it meant making the Indian media say, "...and Pakistan has 150 of these F-16s." Paper numbers have value too. The fact that the PAF hasn't tells me the US is blocking them.

even then it seem difficult not just because of US factor but due to many other factors even Norway itself might try to avoid such transaction with Pakistan

Agree but they are for sale and at storage but Norway wants to sell whole 28 to one customer not in fractions. Also Jordan has around 28 to 30 at storage they want to get rid too. I see no issue but this Bajwa trip shows Army might help PAF.

Trump just announced fews days back at Afghanistan plus US assisting talibans against ISIS khurasan according to Khalilzad. Trade delegations are coming pak no doubt F16s will come from US as well US won't let pie to go Russia and China or EU will keep theior share of it.

the last Pakistani FM at one of the DC think tanks mentioned the Jordanian F-16s were blocked. If they are, other pipelines must be closed too. But with the upswing in relations, Pakistan has a very tight window to make some moves.
