Perhaps a sign that regardless of squadron difference, inter operability is also practiced widely to promote mutual coordination and joint ops

By the way i was wondering since last year all the pictures that are usually posted of F-16s shows extensive worn....seriously heavy flying that is starting to show in pictures...

F-16 Pictures use to be pristine & clean and now they look like they have flown more then 4000+ combat sorties and they require fresh paint now..

They're given a fresh coat every once in a while, PAF takes great care of these beauts.

A GIBS with 'live' rounds of AMRAAMs. The guy has less than 1500 hrs as well. Probably a young Flt Lt on a CAP along with his instructor.

Very few aircraft make an impression like the F-16.

It is indeed an impressive aircraft. I had many opportunities to see them at air shows. I was shocked by how small the aircraft was compared to the F-15 or naval fighters. Nevertheless, it's a potent aircraft.

Between May 2009 and November 2011, the PAF F-16 fleet flew more than 5,500 sorties in support of the Pakistan Army's operations against the Taliban insurgency in the FATA region of North-West Pakistan. More than 80% of the dropped munitions were laser-guided bombs
