Which f-16 block do you guys have ??

- AM/BM block 15 eMLU (block 52 equivalent)

- C/D block 25+ (block 42 equivalent)

(On process to upgrade all to Viper)

 

[Umigami]

Any update on Viper upgrade, @Madokafc ?

 

[NEKO]

On process to upgrade all to Viper

Including the recently upgraded and ongoing falcon star and emlu program?

Including the recently upgraded and ongoing falcon star and emlu program?

As far as I know the target is all of them

 

[NEKO]

I thinking that our F-16 that underwent falcon star emlu program just got their radar replaced with AN/APG-68 v9, and to make it to viper standard then it need be replaced with AESA radar(AN/APG-83)?
And the falcon star emlu are still ongoing right?

 

[Umigami]

And the falcon star emlu are still ongoing right?

Yeah

Any update on Viper upgrade, @Madokafc ?

 

[Umigami]

Yeah and also mission computer, auto GCAS, AEW, Elbit CPD for cockpit, etc.

Turnaround or walk around is also called as exterior preflight inspection. Official AFM/POH of the aircraft must be contained that. Usually, preflight is done by the pilot themselves, but during scramble, for sure you not gonna turn around your aircraft and checking is there any leak or damage or something blocking pitot tube, static port, are the gears well, weather checked or not, etc etc, so the ground crews gonna do that for you, and doing other things for the same time, including that hot pit refueling.

From Cessna 172S’s POH

F-16 C/D Block 50/52’s AFM

BTW, RSAF has good video of them doing scramble exercise with F-15 SG. The radiotelephony same as Indonesia, to read back ATC messages, the message first then your call sign. In US, call sign first then contain of the ATC message that you read back. 02:50

Cool video for air-to-air refueling training last time with Australia

from the video's description

with how often we trained boom air-to-air refueling i hope that's a sign the necessity for our own A330 MRTT

Can't wait to see their duet

The US State Department disclosed in February of 2022 that Indonesia was contemplating purchase of up to 36 F-15EX at a projected price of $13.9 billion, presumably including the cost of spare parts and other support.
The deal announced August 21 was for 24 of the fighters, but industry sources say the number will likely reach at least 36 once budget constraints are resolved in coming years.

The deal has positive geopolitical and industrial-base implications for Washington.

So they are still in pursue of 36 fighters. Wonder how long we will take to resolve the constraint.
