l´USAF n´a pas l´intention de donner des 40/42/50/52(y´a pas de 50/52+ chez eux)
les bases etrangeres seront surement fermés pour certaines,la derniere en discussion est Misawa au Japon avec 40 F-16 et 50 F-15 d´Okinawa,en plus des bases US en Europe,mais tout ca pour renforcer les bases US,avec le stopp des F-22 et la retraite de bcp de F-15 qui seront retirés a cause de fatigue

Et dans 4/5 ans, yak, on pourrait pas viser les block 60 emiriens....je les imagine pas garder des F16,quand de moins doté qu'eux se paye des F35

PGM

non PGM, les émiriens n'ont pas reçu les blk 60 en 2005/2006 pour les vendre après 10 ans.

Le blk 60 est un bon chasseur, si les négo pour Rafale aboutissent, il y aura pas besoin de commander des JSF.

Pakistan's First of the new F-16 Fighter Aircraft Unveiled By US.
The first of the 18 new F-16 fighter aircrafts for Pakistan was unveiled by the US today, despite of the concerns raised by Pakistan Army over the conditions which have been enforced for military aid by means of Kerry-Lugar bill. The first F-16 Block 52 aircraft was received for Pakistan by Chief of Air Staff of Pakistan Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Rao Quamar Suleman at the Forth Worth facility of manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Pakistans envoy to US, Husain Haqqani, was also present during the event. Speaking on the occasion, Suleman said the roll out shows that the programme is "on track" despite it experiencing many ups and downs. The first F-16 aircraft slot is slated to be delivered to Pakistan in June 2010, whereas by Dec 2010, all the 18 jets will be received by Pakistan. The aircraft order is designated as "Peace Drive I," continuing a long tradition of naming F-16 international sales programmes with the word Peace, Lockheed Martin said in a media release. The US was represented by Congressman Kay Granger and Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Norton Schwartz. The aircraft order has been given the designation of "Peace Drive I. "Peace Drive is the flagship of modernisation for Pakistan's Air Force. It is the latest configuration of the best fourth generation multi-role fighter available in the world today," said John Larson, vice president of F-16 programmes for Lockheed Martin. As many as 25 countries have opted for F-16 with more than 4,400 aircraft been delivered worldwide from assembly lines in five countries, it said. http://www.india-server.com/news/pakistans-first-f-16-fighter-aircraft-13804.html

leqloub 3end ba3dhahoum comme on dit chez moi Yak Je me demande si cette livraison aux PAF ne va pas joué contre le F 16 IN . Les Indiens devraient logiquement refuser d'acquerir les meme avions ( a quelques details pres ) que leurs ennemis intimes

mais s´ils veulent jouer la fierté,ils prendront le IN,car un peu plus evolué que le 52+,comme quoi je viens loin derriere toi et je prend mieux de chez ton "ami".
selon les rumeurs y´a des grands deals de F-16 en negociations

les Indiens auront ils acces aux codes sources ?

s´ils garantissent le succes du MMRCA aux US et une cooperation strategique etroite,ils le feront les US,ils l´ont deja accordé aux emiratis sur leur desert falcon,qui ont menacé tout laisser tomber a la derniere minute en 99,c´etait pret un tremblement de terre pour LockMart

les Emirats ont reussit a avoir les codes de leurs Blk 60 ??? les temps ont bien changé alors , tu as raison .

depuis debut des 2000s,la politique FMS americaine a changé bcp,pour plus de pragmatisme,ils ont vu qu´ils ne sont pas les seuls a vendre..dernier exemple le FX-2 bresilien,ou ils se sont declarés prets a tout transferer sur le SH

quelle est la difference entre le blk 52et le blk60?

Un avant gout avant les notres bien joué Yak

Good job yak ..les helenics ont les a vu, les turcs se construisent chez eux, maintenant les pakistanais...les prochains seront surement les notres..ara bara3.

non les turcs recevront des kits prefabriqués a LockMart,c´est pourquoi leurs avions sont comptabilisés dans le backlog de l´usine.
backlog fin juin: 87 avions

Avec les commande Egyptienne et ou peut être roumaine, peut on espérer de notre côté la prolongation de la fabrication de ce belle avions?
Puisque toutes occasion de F-16 sont raflé par la Jordanie, on va certainement se diriger vers du neuf pour le renforcement de notre flotte

effectivement,on peut dire que la commande egyptienne va rallonger vers 2013/4,et les perspectives sont encore plus promettants pour le Viper.

Pakistani, U.S. officials on hand in Fort Worth for F-16 ceremonies
Posted Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2009
By BOB COX

For the first time in two decades, Pakistan’s air force is about to get new F-16 fighter jets.

Pakistani military and government officials were on hand Tuesday at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. in Fort Worth for ceremonies unveiling the first of 18 new F-16s to be delivered in the next year.

And to highlight the continuing value of the F-16 to Lockheed and Fort Worth, the Defense Department announced that it had notified Congress of a possible sale of 24 F-16s to Egypt, along with spare engines, radars and weapons, a deal potentially worth about $3.2 billion.

The Pakistan jet sale, worth roughly $2 billion, was authorized in 2006 by President George W. Bush. It was the first to Pakistan since 1990, when then-President George H.W. Bush cut off delivery of 28 previously purchased planes over the country’s nuclear weapons development program.

"Many people thought this day would never come," Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S., Husain Haqqani, said in remarks at the ceremony. "It’s a historic and defining moment."

The U.S. and Pakistan, Haqqani said, "are democracies struggling to protect the world against terrorism and protecting us from those who would take our freedom."

The resumption of F-16 sales was opposed by some members of Congress, denounced by India and at times threatened by lagging payments to Lockheed.

"This journey was long, difficult, challenging and sometimes frustrating," said Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, whose district includes the Lockheed plant.

Granger said Pakistan "is the point of the spear" in U.S. efforts to combat terrorism in Afghanistan and elsewhere. She said the U.S. and Pakistan have "a growing relationship that will last for decades to come."

Pakistan is buying 18 F-16C Block 52 jets, one of the most capable versions of the aircraft, which is flown by the U.S. Air Force and numerous other countries.

In addition, Lockheed is producing modernization and upgrade kits for 35 of Pakistan’s 1980s-era F-16As. The kits will provide the same radar, digital mission computers and modern digital instrumentation systems as the new aircraft. Four aircraft will be upgraded in Fort Worth, with the rest of the kits shipped to Pakistan to be installed there.

The head of Pakistan’s air force, Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman, said that nation’s F-16s have proved valuable in making precision attacks on Al Qaeda and Taliban extremists that operate out of the rugged mountainous region between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

At the end of June, Lockheed had a backlog of 87 unfilled F-16 orders, enough to keep the Fort Worth assembly line operating through about 2012. Lockheed has about 2,100 Fort Worth employees directly tied to the F-16 program and several hundred others who provide varying degrees of support.

Additional sales to Egypt, should they occur, would add to the backlog. The Obama administration signaled to the Egyptian government this year that it would look favorably upon a request to buy additional F-16s. Egypt has already taken delivery of 220 F-16s since 1982.

Before Tuesday’s Egypt announcement, John Larson, Lockheed’s vice president of the F-16 program, said he was "very optimistic about additional F-16 sales. There are a number of government-to-government discussions going on now that we’re pretty confident will result in orders."

The biggest potential source of business is Pakistan’s neighbor and historical enemy, India, which is holding a competition to buy 126 fighter jets. Lockheed is competing for that business, as is Boeing with its F/A-18 Super Hornet, along with several foreign aircraft manufacturers.

je crois que le contrat des F-16 marocaines portes sur 18avions avec une option de 6, alors je crois qu'il est fort probable qu'on peut augumenter notre commande jusqu'à 36 aprés qu'on reçoit notre premiére bijou

non 24 ferme pas option

2 Shaw F-16s collide off S. Carolina coast
October 15, 2009 (by Asif Shamim) - Two F-16s from the 20th Fighter Wing based at Shaw Air Force Bases have collided in mid-air somewhere over the Atlantic at 20.30h local time. One jet & its pilot are reported to be missing.

Both F-16s were on a night training exercise at the time. According to officials one of the pilots was able to bring his damaged F-16 back to Charleston Air Force Base and was being seen to by medical teams. The whereabouts of the other pilot is unknown.

The crash happened "40 miles east of Folly Beach," said Rob Sexton, the chief of public affairs at Shaw.

Units from the US Coast Guard, US Navy and aircraft based out of Charleston Air Force Base are all participating in the search for the missing pilot. The searching area being covered is 10 nautical miles off Bulls Bay.

Earlier this week, Shaw Air Force Base had announced that pilots would be conducting nighttime exercises to get pilots proficient with night vision equipment and practice tactics critical to surviving in combat

The airforce has set up a board of enquiry to investigate the accident.
