Nops, those are still with the USN and being used too.

The ones we got were excess for the USAF and given to us free of cost, but money for modifications, upgrades were given.

1989-2000:

By 1990 PAF had placed orders for additional seventy-one F-16’s. However in 1990 PAF suffered a setback when Pressler amendment was passed by US congress banning the delivery of F-16’s to Pakistan. 28 already built F-16’s under peace gate III & IV program were shifted to AMARC at Davis-Monthan AFB for storage. During the coming years various plans were conceived to resolve the issue however none of the plans were successful. Finally in 2002 US assigned these aircrafts to USAF and USN to fill the aggressor role.

Amount was around 658Million US$ which was paid for the 28 fighter aircrafts.

And wheat import also i believe ??? They shipped wheat also to compensate for the money we owed.

But if the interest was added to the amount with US for nearly a decade, i remember analysts quoting a 1BIllion US$ figure that US owed us, but our oligarchs just took wheat and soybeans for about 650MillionUS$.
