  1. I was hoping to propose the idea of BLU-107/B Durandal's being added to the F-16C block 50. I have a couple of sources for the production time of the F-16C block 50 and I have another website containing information to the BLU-107/B and its USAF timeline with sources on the website. It'd be nice to see more runway destruction ordinance being introduced to DCS. I truly hope this gets added. "The U.S. Air Force first evaluated the Durandal in 1982. It was subsequently procured for operational service as the BLU-107/B, at least partly because the USAF's own BLU-106/B BKEP (Boosted Kinetic Energy Penetrator) program suffered from delays (and was later cancelled). The BLU-107/B was used in Iraq by F-111E bombers during Operation Desert Storm in early 1991. After retirement of the F-111, the F-16 became the only USAF platform for the Durandal." "The first Block 50/52 F-16 rolled out of the Fort Worth facility on October 31, 1991 (#90-0801). Production of this version is still ongoing and will be expanded well beyond 2005 with the latest aircraft delivered to Greece and Israel."
