Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[BATMAN]

6 a/c in Turkey - MLU has recently started - 4 a/c in US (pattern a/c) will complete MLU by early 2012.

Finally, first news from the 4 F-16 in US for MLU.
If i remember correctly 2 F-16 were sent form Pakistan and 2 were added from ex-US stock, under FMS.

It has been long long time since 2 left Pakistan for MLU.
I hope Turkish can do it faster than Americans.

I am sure their is more to American chapter then just MLU. Most probably PAF ground crew are going through intense training in order to cope with maintenance etc.

F16 is the only fighter which is very well proportionate. No matter from what angle you see it, its so propertional, I mean size of wing, tail, nose, everything is well proportionate. Now, block 52 which has a spine and two buldge on left and right of fueslage really disappointed me. what do u say guys?

ps.s Similarly I noticed airbus series airlines are proportionate too.

Not all were americans. PAF pilots did fly some of them home.

Block 52(+) has more hardware then the Block 52 and the Dual seat takes quite alot of space in the aircraft so dorsal spine is required to install all those new stuff in.

thanks Growler

I have built an understanding that

F16 A/B are same technology wise B is two seater thats it.

block 25 or 40 C/D are same but D is two seater.

block 52 C/D are same but D is two seater.

ami right guys?

Block 5 10 15 20 25 30 32 40 42 50 52 52+ 60 all are either single or twin seaters but capability wise are different.

PAF older fleet are block 15 with single and twin seats and are technically the same but the advantage of twin seat is that new pilots can be trained though its not primarily used as a trainer.
