Im a big fan of the F-16...never seen one in real life though...the Polksh F-16s are late model Block 52s I think...they are probably the most modern in Europe

Off the top of my head the only other Air Force in Europe that has F-16's is the Finnish Airforce. Everyone else has euro-fighters and the likes. cool.gif Actually the spanish A/F might have a few.

You are confusing your F-16s with F-18s. The Finnish and Spanish have F-18s as do the Swiss.

The F-16 is one of the most common fighters in Europe....started with the "Deal of the Century" with Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Belgian Air Forces buying them in one big bulk buy ...since then the Greek, Turkish, Portuguese & Polish Air Forces have also bought F-16s. The Italians have also operated F-16s on a tempoarry basis while waiting for their Typhoons.

I've never liked those conformal tanks. Ugly as hell. I've read pilots aren't fond of them either.
