The person strapping in is Sqn Ldr (at that time) Shahid Sikandar. Squadron commander in those days was Wg Cdr Muzaffar Ali. Wg Cdr Abdul Razzaq was the OC in the late 1980s.

A closeup of the former Jordanian F-16 now in PAF service, the fairing at the base of tail is not common in other F-16s and reportedly holds some exclusive gadgets,

Actually the fairing holds nothing more exclusive than flight control accumulators relocated here due to the relocation of the vipers' radio displaced courtesy the extra IFF equipment & flood light installation in the nose.

PAFo_O? That's a Danish Air Force roundel.

It's Red and White, not Green and White.

...

Here, the video that accompanies the pictures:


Those pictures, two separate events sutured together into a single frame, are of RDAF F-16s, not those belonging to the PAF.

F-16 Modular Mission Computer (MMC)
The Modular Mission Computer (MMC) provides airborne processing power that will allow the F-16 to execute mission requirements well into the 21st century.

A cost-effective mid-life update for the F-16, the MMC delivers enhanced computing power to the aircraft's avionics and weapon systems. As a member of Lockheed Martin's F-16 team, Raytheon developed a single high-performance system to replace the fighter jet's three original computers. The MMC's advanced features — and potential for expansion — enable the F-16 to meet present and future mission challenges.

For pilots, the MMC significantly improves situational awareness, air-to-air capabilities, targeting accuracy and information. Equipped with this powerful computer, the F-16 can take greater advantage of such growth technologies as helmet-mounted cueing systems, advanced weapons loads, reconnaissance pods and forward-looking infrared targeting and navigation systems.

The streamlined MMC is smaller, lighter and more efficient than its predecessor systems. Reducing weight by 55 percent, volume by 42 percent and power usage by 32 percent, the updated system is more reliable and less costly to maintain. Its modular design allows two-level maintenance (i.e., flight-line replacement of line replaceable modules), eliminating the need to remove and replace the entire computer. Mean time between failure exceeds 1245 hours.

With more than 1,600 shipsets either delivered or on order, the MMC enjoys a worldwide clientele. Customers include the U.S. Air Force and numerous international governments, including Belgium, Chile, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, Taiwan and Turkey.

Any idea where these 6 were headed to with what I believe was the then standard A2A loadout?




How'd you figure that they belonged to the Tail Choppers? What did I miss?
Oh as for the loadout I am not sure but I do know that they went for a flypast rehearsal to Islamabad...
