F-100-PW-220E produces thrust of max 23,770. F-16A/B Block 15s have a lighter airframe and 220E gives it enough power to have thrust to weight ratio 1.0. 229EEP are of different breed they produce well over 29k lbs thrust for F-16C/D as they have much heavier airframe.

PAF markings on the wing can be made out, I think. That's green and white circle, right? What's going on here?

 

[nomi007]

hope paf will not change color scheme of single-seater F-16A

 

[Sulman Badshah]

hope paf will not change color scheme of single-seater F-16A

We are getting scheme in Grey scale ...

 

[ShamF1516]

Wikipedia is now stating the PAF has 102 F-16's. :o ...Someone should edit that and put the right number...

 

[HRK]

Just to keep the record straight regarding the delivery of 2 F-16s
Quote:
These are not Extra Birds but are 'the part of Initially Authorised 14' F-16 (during the period of 2005 till 2008) only 12 were delivered earlier the rest of two were for some reason were not delivered .... following is the EDA Database screenshot

so in short its not going to increase the number of F-16 fleet of PAF
