Zylon Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Don´t think the Belgian Air Force uses the Block 50s, but the F18 has Skins from planes that are not Lot20s aswell, so i think it should be okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Roadrunner (the german guy - German is my mother tongue too) - who had the best intentions - used the wrong word (weather), but he translated it with his common sense & correctly. By the way, only an insider can truly know all the secrets about the Thunderbirds; and maybe if humidity gets too high and the danger of rust is increasing dramatically, the chief of Thunderbird's staff decides to use a Pratt & Whitney :smartass: ??? Who knows... Cheers and all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they've upgraded in the last 2 years since then, that would be news to me. " In the 2009 show season the Thunderbirds transitioned to an updated version of the F-16 fighter. The Block 52s have an upgraded avionics package that brings the Thunderbird fleet into alignment with the rest of the worldwide F-16 fleet. " BTW, that tail number listed in the mishap is a Block 42. Block 52's have 92+ tail's. References indicate the Aircraft is indeed a Block 52D http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/3456/ Block 40/42 and 50/52 are all referred to as CMs and use the same TO# because aside from engines they are equipped the same.

mvsgas Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Last time I checked when I went over and hung out with their MX guys on the flight line at Red Flag, they fly Block 42's. Now if they've upgraded in the last 2 years since then, that would be news to me. They have never used block 42. Only block 15, 32 and 52. Here is a list of all Thunderbird F-16. http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/view_airframes_byadvancedsearch/acshort/F-16/fy/0/plant/0/status/0/version/0/program/0/airforce/11055/unit/11525/deployment/0/displayteam/0/actype/F-16/startnum/1 BTW, that tail number listed in the mishap is a Block 42. Block 52's have 92+ tail's. Not all block 52 have a contract year of 92, there are several 90 and 91 contract year. Block 40/42 and 50/52 are all referred to as CMs and use the same TO# because aside from engines they are equipped the same. Only the avionics Technical Order (T.O.) are the same. So 1F-16CM-34-1-1 or 34-1-1-1 would be the same, most other T.O. will still be block specific, i.e. 1F-16CJ-2-78JG-41 (IIRC the their engine exhaust T.O.) as oppose to 1F-16CG-2-78JG-11 for block 40. CM is just a specific T.O. designation that somehow has become commonly used but not accurate. 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 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Block 52D means the jet has 2 seats in it. C model = 1 seat D model = 2 seats He means the way F-16.net list the manufacturing version. So two seat would be F-16D block 52 The manufacturing is F-16C or D block 52 D, the last letter is a modification withing manufacturing of a specific block. Here is a list of all F-16C block 52 D This is is all F-16D block 52 D Edited August 4, 2019 by mvsgas 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.

Shahdoh Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 And none of that matters on whether there will be a Thunderbird's skin made for it. If its an F16, there WILL be a T-bird skin made by someone. Probably ED will do a basic one, and someone else will do a more detailed one. All this talk of what block it SHOULD be will not matter. People have to make do with what is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
