F-16 of Pakistan Air Force

PAF F-16B block 15 #85609 is flying over Pakistan, This aircraft crashed on December 18th, 1986.

The image quality isn't great, but it is a remarkable picture since this aircraft is flying with a Thomson Altis II pod on the chin station. Since the aircraft was only delivered in May of 1985, this shows that the PAF has been using laser designating pods since the introduction of the F-16 in its force.

The US State Department approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to Pakistan for continued support of the F-16 program. The FMS is valued at $125 million. The Government of Pakistan had requested a continuation of technical support services, US Government and contractor technical and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics support to assist in the oversight of operations in support of the Pakistan Peace Drive advanced F-16 program. Pakistan has used the F-16 fighter jets against India, the latest being in the aftermath of the Balakot airstrike inside Pakistan by India. The program raised the total number of F-16s ordered by Pakistan to 54. The Pakistan Air Force received its first F-16, in the block 15 F-16A/B configuration, in 1982.
