In 1988 China delivered the first 20 of 60 F-7M Skybolts to Pakistan. As upgrades, Karachi reportedly was leaning to a totally indigenous Chinese aircraft over the Grumman-influenced Sabre II, or F-7P. Development of the "Super 7" upgrade was terminated with the end of American technical assistance following the Tienanmen repression of 1989.
USAF F-16C block 25 #83-1165 from the 134th FS. This is an updated picture of the first F-16C to fly 7,000 hours. This jet also participated in the much publized fly-over at Fenway park on April 8th where a pilot in a different jet did an unauthorized barrel roll over the stadium. This picture was taken at Hanscom AFB when the pilots returned from the fly over of fenway. Note the 7,000 hour decal on the tail. [Photo by Dunk]
