Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

.
Yes US owes 14 EDA F16s approved by Bush administration
18 new F16s for which re approval of Congress is required

Such a bliss.. i was unware of this deal bro, i thought we are done with USA
we need approval for 18 new F16s , how about rest of the 14?
And 1 more thing, what is the current status of this deal?
 
. . . . . .
When PAF getting its remaining 14 F-16s from USA and also why not another 12 F-16s from Venezuelan Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and may be more from Jordan too as they might be buying 80-120 EF-2000 with GCC support.

Also there are some other options too:
Chilean Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Royal Jordanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portuguese Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though USA has a huge fleet of F-16A/Bs so they can also sell 100s to PAF if they need to.

For future reference
F-100 series PW
F-110 series GE

GE F-404 engines were the main engines designed for the -16 and -18. F110 was a modified version with much higher reliability and cheaper cost standards and was adopted as a better engine than F-100. It required one to two shop / basic visits every 1000 flying hours. The results and reliability was so impressive that even India negotiated for this engine for their LCA aircraft, after failing to produce a decent engine.

The F-404 was never used in production F-16s
In the beginning the US contemplated offering J-79 (of F-4 Phantom fame) powered F-16s in export orders because the F-100 was considered to sensitive a technology to export

The various blocks of F-16 alternate between the F-100 and F-110 variants. I think all versions of F-15 use the F-100 variants

Any development / time frame regarding procurement of F16s from 3rd party or USA?
