Hi,

During an Anatolian Eagle exercise held between September 22nd till October 8th, the Pakistani air force detached 6 of its F-16s fighters to Konya AB to participate in that exercise.

If anyone has some photo material from these fighters, please let us know. Pakistani F-16s are very hard to catch on film, so this should have been a splendid opportunity to catch these vipers.

Greets,

The detachment consisted of 4 F-16A's and 2 F-16B's all from 9 Sqn 'Griffins' from PAF Base Sargodha. Serial for one of the participating F-16A's was 85724 and one of the 'B' models was 84608.

This is the first major multi-national deployment for nearly 30 years. The detachment consisted of 14 pilots and 63 groundcrew. 2 of the pilots Sqn Ldr. Latif & Sqn Ldr. Amir had the opportunity to act as Mission Commanders and lead 2 seperate 40 'Blue Force' aircraft mission packages in a war simulation.

Bjorn, the Nov issue of Air Forces Monthly has a few pictures of the PAF F-16s, and actually the first ever ones that I know of that show them carrying the AN/ALQ-131 jamming pod.

The aircraft involved in the exercise were:
  • F-16A 84708, 84713, 84714 and 85724
  • F-16B 84606 and 84608
PS. Next month issue will feature more PAF's Vipers from the exercise Smile

Hallo Griffinsrulz,

Thanks, I know there are pictures of those Vipers in AFM as I buy the magazine every month. However, since F-16.net has a tight copyright policy, we can't just copy pictures from someone else unless we have explicit concent of the photographer to do so.

So what we are looking for is photographers who shot a number of those Vipers at Konya and are willing to let us show them in our photo library. Of course with the right credit.

Greets,
