F-16 First Flight 20 January 1974.
Even after almost 50 years, no other aircraft turns heads like the Viper does.

Hi,

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Any chance of the remaining 12 F-16s Block-15 along with some more ex-USAF Block-15s with MLU-4 upgrades?

I think the following two videos might be a little new for some. @Trailer23 Some new stuff for you.

I believe it's a Greek F16. They have the 'danger ejection seat' symbols in red. Our ones are in gray

If Pak will get it access to block V standard upgrade.
that's will make PAF mostly deadly airforce in the region.

Treat for Pindi Boys as the Block-52D comes in to land at Nur Khan Base.

Nice one, hardly ever see fighters at 'Pindi these days. I do remember when I was young (late 80s), when we would visit and taxi across Chakala there would always be a 4-6 F-6s on QRA near the end of the runway, but guess that is not required anymore.

Last time i saw a detachment there was during the 2002 stand off.
I was in Pakistan during June/July of that year, there were F-7s streaming in and out of Chaklala all day long.

I guess now that New Isl airport is open Nur Khan can host more regular fighter detachments, location is very handy for border
