[Dazzler]

saw the movie long time ago, the plot is based on the f-16 fly by wire issue that remained hidden or kept hidden during early years until a major accident occurred that caused GD a handsome amount.

it was afterburn which highlighted the wiring chaffing that caused short circuiting of navigation systems causing the failure of primary and secondary failure of all on board altimeters.

What about the 14 F-16s that we got from USAF? Are they already MLU-ed or will PAF MLU them ?

we have got 18 (and only 18, not 36 as reported on some forums due to confusion) Block 52 aircraft from US (brand new ones).

The MLU is proposed/done on Blk 15 batch to bring these to BLK40 Standard.
details of MLU are present in relevant thread and you can check these for reference. the MLU process will be completed by August 29, 2012

The 14 you mentioned are perhaps are the Embargoed one that were supposed to be released in 2012 but in current situation. at least I AM not so hopeful.
