Great, if true , will be a good stop gap measure.

Exactly. until we are able to afford buying new planes, we will have to make do with these planes. And these planes have still some years remaining. But hopefully until that time we are financially able to afford new planes by that time.

ISLAMABAD: Air Martial Masood Akhtar (Retd) has said that provision of F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan by Jordan is good news.

Talking to Radio Pakistan, he said through this, the efficiency of Pakistan Air Force and other security institutions would be improved.

Masood Akhtar said that cache of F-16 would make us more capable to respond any foreign aggression.

Regarding the terms and conditions in using of fighters jets, he said that Pakistan has already decided not to adopt policy of aggression against any country, adding that if other does so, then we can use the fighter jets for our defence.

He said that Pakistan can also use them in war against terrorism.

Damn, that was some entry and reception and for once the cameramen managed to capture the fly pasts in it's glory.
Once a military historian wrote that the induction of F-16s has completely changed the psyche of the PAF and some thirty years later it still has the same effect.

Whatever one may say, the F-16 is the sexiest looking aircraft on planet Earth!

SARGODHA: Pakistan received on Sunday its first batch of F-16 fighter jets delivered from Jordan, DawnNews reported.

Sources said that the Pakistan had signed a contract with Jordan for the supply of 13 fighter jets out of which five were delivered at the Mushaf Mir Airbase in Sargodha and inducted in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fleet.

The inclusion of the 13 jets would take the strength of the PAF F-16s to 76.

Media reports indicated the PAF had agreed to purchase an entire squadron from Jordan, consisting of 12 A models and one B model. According to one news report, the jets "were in good condition since they had attained Mid-Life Update (MLU) and they would be providing service for another 20 years with almost 3,000 hours on average available to them for flying."

As expected the aircraft were ferried by PAF pilots, does any one know the distance from Jordan to Pakistan.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

If we bought only 12 F16A MLU and 1 F16B MLU then how come they landed 2 F16B MLU ?

My dear these are not MLU but Block-15 ADFs.
