Hi gang
F16 enthusiasts might like to check out the latest Flight International 30 October-5 November. Very nice feature on the F16 Block 60. Nice poster too.
Just a couple of numbers for you. The empty weight is now 9300 kg. The GE F110 -132 produces 145kN thrust. The single seater has a maximum fuel capacity of about 11628 litres of fuel (int. fuel, 3 ext. tanks and CFTs). By comparison the Rafale has an empty weight of approx 9100kg and 150kN thrust (and they say that the Rafale is underpowered).
I still like the Blk 60 though.
