Former J-653 of The Netherlands air force

Between March 1984 and 2008, this SABCA built airframe flew with the Belgian AF as FA-76 (US FY serial 80-3567). Originally delivered to Belgium as a Block 15 aircraft, it was eventually upgraded to Block 20 MLU standard. A total of 25 ex Belgian AF F-16A/B's found their way to Jordan under the "Peace Falcon III & V" Programe, among them "148" in 2009. Note the blueish painted mid section of this bird, assigned to SQN 1 based at As Shaheed Muwaffaq al Salti Air Base.

This F-16B (US FY 81-0936) has been delivered to the Pakistan AF under the FMS program "Peace Gate II". The 1st two digits of the Pakistani serial indicate the year it was delivered (1984), while the 6XX number were assigned to the dual seater (single seaters have 7XX numbers). Originally a Block 15 aircraft, it was later upgraded to Block 20 status. Note the kill mark in the form of an indian flag on the nose section of 84606, apparently being the aircraft which shot down an IAF MiG-21 Bison (Fishbed) on February 27, 2019.

R10-002 supported the six PAF F-16A/B's participating in exercise Anatolian Eagle 2022. Pakistan operates four IL-78MP in the MRTT version. Based at Nur Khan (OPRN) / Islamabad International Airport and operated by Squadron 10 "Buffaloes", they are serialled R09-001, R10-002, R11-003 and R11-004. When operating as tanker, they carry a total of three refueling pods, one under each wing and the 3rd on the rear left side of the fuselage, unfortunately not visible on this picture. R11-003 was upgraded in Ukraine and re-delivered to the PAF in early February 2022, just prior to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
