PAF F-16 | Discussions

The foreign pilots were all on loan from USAF to PAF with the initial 2010 aircraft deliveries to improve operations for C/D fleet capabilities and to help introduce a short transition course for new pilots converting to Block 52+, as there is no formal conversion course in No. 5 squadron.

That patch is common in PAF.

Ah boy - now you dunnit. Cue the conspiracy master-slave mole theories.

Regardless of the idea that it’s actually a much higher ratio in Arab states or even in other Asian nations who purchase US equipment

The concept of the Pylon Integrated Dispensing System Plus (PIDS+) system on the ex-Dutch is damn interesting on these jets for sure. Wondering if PAF has ever looked at them ?

I bet it's heavier and draggy than a regular pylon too. There's always a tradeoff.

Also a question to the mods. Shouldn't the discussion threads actually be discussions rather than a competition on how many times the same old pictures can be reposted?
