Look at the last 2 pictures.. They both are Block 52 D... But the difference is the side body.. Is it removable?

@fatman17 @waz @FaujHistorian @Akheilos @Zarvan

The last one looks like BLOCK 60

@Junaid B
Yes the sidebody is called CFTs (conformal fuel tanks)
This forum is full of info on them both real and fictional

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

The first one, or the nearest one, F-16/7, has GE J-79 engine!
The middle one is the one with the F-101 engine!

What happens is that the owners roundels and serial number are taped over and temporary numbers are stencilled by the designated country in this case US. It's SOP for incoming and outgoing aircraft.
