F-16C Block 50 confirmed!

With the F-16C block 50, Mi-24P, AH-1S Huey Cobra and F-4E in the development pipeline, the future is very exciting. Together we look forward to taking Eagle Dynamics to the next level.

Now the question is which block 50? USAF, Turkish, Chilean and what year.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

mvsgas,

 

Do you have more pubs/docs on the -129 to share?

 

Thanks, downloading those now.

 

I forgot to mention, on those Hellenic manual. For example the -1, on page VII, it has a list on aircraft serial numbers. Those manuals are only applicable to those specific serial numbers back in 2003. They may or may not apply to any other F-16 except for those.

Here is a list of them.

I have a question did this spesific block was able to employ SDB's without a major update to plane itself?

 

AFAIK, Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) can be carried by USAF F-16 block 40 to 52 after the Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP). I guess the answer is no.

 

F-16 CCIP

 

The Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) upgrades began in June 1998. This involved upgrading 650 US Air Force Block 40/42/50/52 aircraft to a common specification. CCIP Phase 1 included installation of a new modular mission computer (the Raytheon MMC7000) and colour multi-function-displays on 107 older Block 50/52 aircraft. CCIP Phase 1A was similar, but included a AN/APX-113 'bird slicer' interrogator/transponder, giving autonomous beyond visual range capability and integration of the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper imaging/targeting pod. About 250 Block 50/52 aircraft were upgraded from October 2002 onwards. CCIP Phase 2, delivered from July 2003, added Link 16 multi-function information distribution system (MIDS) datalink, JHMCS and electronic HSI. CCIP Phase 3 upgrades 397 Block 40/42 aircraft to Phase 1, 1A and 2 mods. CCIP modified aircraft are designated F-16CM and F-16DM and - from M4.2 on - can use the same Modular Mission Computer Software tapes. In 2009, all Block 50/52 aircraft and approx. 80% of the Block 40/42 aircraft were loaded with OFP 4.3 software. The remaining Block 40/42 aircraft will be fitted with CCIP and M4.3 by mid 2010. The 500th CCIP modified aircraft, an F-16C-50, was rolled out 26 March 2010. From 2001 to 2006, the Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill Air Force Base modified and delivered 254 Block 50/52 aircraft operated by the US Air Force. The modifications took place in three phases and, as a result, 100 aircraft were modified twice during this time frame. In 2005, Ogden also began modifying the Block 40/42 fleet. All Block 40/42 aircraft received CCIP modifications in one shop visit. While a Block 40/42 aircraft was undergoing the CCIP modification, the Falcon STAR (Structural Augmentation Roadmap) modification was also completed.

More info on SDB

edit

So according to this, it would have to be a very recent version, 2012 or newer.

 

Edit of the edit

I looks like as of Nov 2012, it was still not implemented, so even newer.

All aboard the hype train! :thumbup:

-Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."
