newest, baddest F-16

[Pensacola Beachcomber]

This is a block 60 model F-16 made for the UAE. I really like the external
conformal fuel tanks!! Tom

what's on the side of it, electronics or something to do with the engine?

Do you mean that outgrowth in the yellow ellipse? That's a conformal fuel
tank, as PB mentioned.

What doe the new auditions do to performance?

[Pensacola Beachcomber]

If you are talking about the conformal fuel tanks I don't think they
interfere much with performance. The stuff I've seen in the papers about
the Israeli strike in Jordan was possible because of these fuel tanks (and
some really good electronic countermeasure packages).

I don't know what all of the external things are. The object on the lower
port side, with the golden window, looks like some kind of sensor. I hope
someone comments on it, Tom

Thanks, now I need to link those explanations with a picture of each one.
Then I'll be able to write coherently and logically about the pictures I
post, Tom

Anyone know what's mounted on the pylon that's attached to the inlet where
the green right side navagational light previously was? Laser/IR warning
sensor, maybe?
