Not much to say here.

The last F-16A/B models were recently retired, leaving only the more advanced F-16C/D currently in service. These F-16s are undergoing an upgrading process to keep them modern and in the fight. The USAF currently has 1280 F-16s on the roster, and they will be phased out on a one-for-one basis when the F-35 comes into service.
