F-16 aggressors
The paint jobs were done at a US airbase in South Korea then the F-16s were sent to Alaska andCalifornia as aggressors in redflag.
Anything is better than the plain old grey that the airforce paints everything with.

Under the Alternative Fighter Engine (AFE) program, the USAF decided to adopt an alternative enginefor the F-16, splitting engine orders between Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. As originallyplanned, with each new fiscal year, a new set of engine orders would be issued. Competition betweenthese two companies would, it was hoped, keep prices down, and having a second source would helpto ensure a steady supply of engines.

The two USAF candidates were the General Electric F101 DFE (now redesignated F110) and a revisedPratt & Whitney F100, known as the F100-PW-220. In February 1984, the USAF announced thatGeneral Electric had been awarded 75 percent of the total engine contracts for the FY 1985 run of F-16 fighters, while the remaining FY 1985 F-16s would use the upgraded Pratt & Whitney F100. TheF110 was to be phased into the General Dynamics production line as soon as production enginesbecame available, but it was agreed that individual USAF F-16 units should never operate a mix ofengine types, the choice of engine being made at the wing level.Structure & Avionics
The Block 30/32 (sometimes referred to as MSIP Stage III) aircraft were the first F-16s to appear withthe common engine bay, able to accept either the F100 (Block 32) or the F110 (Block 30).The F110 provided 5,000 pounds more thrust than the F100, and required a larger amount of air. This inturn required that the area of the air intake be increased. However, this change was not made at first,and early F-16C/D Block 30's are "small inlet" aircraft (e.g. the US Navy's F-16N's). The large inletbecame the standard for F110-powered Fighting Falcons from F-16C Block 30D #86-0262 onward (theso-called "Big-mouths"). The large inlet is referred to as the "modular common air intake duct". ThePratt&Whitney-equipped Block 32 aircraft all have the smaller inlet, called a "normal shock inlet", theproverbial exception to the rule being the VISTA F-16. Unfortunately, air intake shapes could not bestandardized on the production line because the lower-thrust F100 engine could not accommodate theadditional air.

Block 32 F-16C's have the P&W F100-PW-220 engine, which offered a thrust of 23,770 pounds. It wasslightly less powerful than the F100-PW-200, but was much more reliable and less ****e to stagnationstalling. In addition, the inlet of both variants, always a major contributor to the F-16s radar crosssection (RCS), has been specially treated with several radar absorbing material (RAM) coatings, whichradically reduces its detectability.Full level IV multi-target capability for the AIM-120 was added in spring '87; these aircraft weredesignated Block 30B. Expanded memory was provided for the Programmable Display Generator and theData Entry Electronics Unit. Block 30/32 also introduced the Seek Talk secure voice communicationsystem, and were equipped with seal-bond fueltanks. In August 1987, provisions to fire the AGM-45Shrike and AGM-88 HARM were made, together with installation of a voice message unit and crash-survivable flight data recorder. Starting with mini-block D, twice as many chaff/flare dispensers couldby carried. Also in Block 30D, the Forward RWR antennas were relocated to the leading edge flap.Dubbed "beer can" antennas for obvious reasons, these have since been retrofit onto all previous F-16C/D's.Modifications & Upgrades
Block 30 F-16C's of the Virginia ANG are equipped to operate a digital recce pod. A plan to give Block30/32 aircraft CAS/BAI capability (redesignated F/A-16) was abandoned in January 1992. Industry-sponsored development led (for Greek and Turkish aircraft) to the integration of the AIM-7F and -7MSparrow. In 1998, fielding of the TARS (Theater Airborne Recce System) with Block 30-equipped ANGunits will begin.Production
Manufacturing of the Block 30/32 batch began in January of 1986, with the first of 733 deliveries takingplace in July of 1987. Production ended in 1989. Block 30/32 aircraft were delivered to the USAF,USNavy, Turkey, Israel, Greece, Egypt and South Korea.Specifications
