In the early models, only the Norwegian F-16s had the drag chutes due to the country's adverse weather conditions. The PAF F-16s always had the air-to-air refueling capability but never had the opportunity to utilize the facility until Red Flag.

Anatolian Eagle and another exercise prior to Red Flag is when they practiced A2A refueling under the instruction of 2 USAF or ANG IPs embedded for TDY with the respective squadron(s).
 
Yep.

And here is something rather interesting.

"The Pakistani air force is already operating two similar recce pods, which will now be modified with suitable datalinks to match the new ground stations. According to the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency ex-U.S. Air Force F-16A/B fighters transferred to the Pakistani Air Force in 2008 were prepared to operate reconnaissance pods. No such capability was mentioned for the new F-16 Block 52 aircraft although it is likely that the pods will also be employed by these fighters."

Both the MLUed and the new Block-52s have compatibility with Db-110 recce pods.
