F7PG not so much but Mirages.... they need to be gone.

FT-7 is used i believe not PG training model.

There is no cranked wing training Ft-7 as far as I know. Would have helped lower takeoff and landing speeds.

They just got more F-15s and are in talks with procurement of F-35s, so makes sense. These surplus F-16s will most likely end up with Thailand or Indonesia etc.
