Yes.. unless the option for another 18 is taken.
Which does seem a likely possibility now.

So, 18 plus 63= 81?, so we will have 81 Falcons in our AF?
Yes. 26 Squadron has them.Thanks WJ. JF is at Peshawar?
Yes. The Falcons and the arrows have them. Falcons are in Miranshah and Arrows are in Jacobabad. If I am not wrong, Falcons have the F-16D.So, is this the only unit with Blk 52?
It is taken according to inside sources.Yes.. unless the option for another 18 is taken.
103 (total F-16s including the latest to-be purchased 18), - (9 F-16 crashed) = 94.If all options are exercised, we should have over 90 or at least five squadrons.
Yes. 26 Squadron has them.
No 9 Squadron (Griffins) and No 11 Squadron (Arrows) are both equipped with older F-16 and based in Mushaf/Sargodha .Yes. The Falcons and the arrows have them. Falcons are in Miranshah and Arrows are in Jacobabad. If I am not wrong, Falcons have the F-16D.
There is some confusion about the actual number operational or in the pipe line.103 (total F-16s including the latest to-be purchased 18), - (9 F-16 crashed) = 94.
Minus-ing the to-be bought 18, 76 F-16s are currently owned out of which 17 are Block 52s and some of the remaining are in Turkey.
I was kind of wondering...have there been any efforts on part of PAF to possiballity of future acquisition the TuAF Block 40/50 Falcons as they start inducting JSFs?...It would be an economical option indeed.Current fleet status would be difficult to ascertain accurately..
As some F-16's are undergoing MLU in both the US and Turkey.
So how many vipers are sitting in Pakistan is a sketchy number.

we have a fairly good idea!
When US + PAK are back on their LOVE relation
The F-16's.. are and will remain the stop gap for the PAF in later years..
By the time the TuAF starts phasing out its F-16's in the mid 2020's timeline, there is most likely to be more Chinese options available to us, possibly even 5th gen to induct into the PAF Orbat.

Not until last month.. apparently more F-16's are heading out to Turkey since the line for MLU's in Kamra is taking a little longer to setup... or that is what I heard.
sir its on-off-on relationship - kinda like liz taylor and richard burton !!!

4 in US for MLU (pattern a/c) with training for PAF engg's
3 in Turkey for MLU
6 more scheduled for Turkey.
Kamra MLU facility cant start until the 4 pattern a/c are returned by Q-1-2012.
so 13 aircraft not available
rest available.
