Living next to an airbase gives me the opportunity to see some cool aircraft from time to time. This week there are a few F-16C and -D's from Greece along with some Italian Tornado's and USAF F-15's at Volkel in the Netherlands. Not my pic, but this is how they arrived today!   Notice the bulkier back of the Block 52+ variant of the F-16 and the Greece paintjob of these aircraft are pretty different too. |

Quoted: The "bulky back" that OP refers to isn't related to Block upgrades of the F16; rather, they're conformal fuel tanks that are popular with some non-US customers. The biggest user that comes to mind is Israel but apparently Greece is rocking them too. F-16C/D Block 50/52+, F-16E/F Block 60 and F-16I Sufa Export aircraft for Greece, Chile, Israel, Poland, Turkey, Singapore, Morocco, Egypt and the UAE are plumbed for carriage of two CFTs mounted on top of the aircraft near the wing root. Each is capable of holding 450 US gallons (1,703.4 L) |

WTF? Why are you using google documents as a picture? |
