You can go to the Photo Gallery of that site and look for it, it's just right there Wink
and may I ask where are you from?
Because for now the only country that will buy it is the U.A.E

Isn't the Block 60 starting production? If they can be sold to the UAE than there must be a proto type of some sort...

Of course, it's the same prototype of the block 52+. There is no much different between them as you may think. But first, Lockheed Martin needs to finish the production of the F-16I's, because that order already been delayed once (the first 2 planes were supposed to be delivered on this October, but they will be delivered on December)

Singapore didn't just exclude the Block 60, they excluded Lockheed as a manufacturer. That would mean any F-16 version manufactured by Lockheed, and implies JSF and F-22 as well (even though those two weren't options).

Hm... my dad says whatever Singapore gets now will be to fill the gap before the JSF is out because the JSF will only be in production for export around 2015+ and singapore needs a new plane earlier.

As for lockheed being excluded? I think it's only the f 16 e/f in future buyings lockheed will still be there.
