And t has one main difference pver Snipe's "beloved" Lawn Darts. Those bumps over the wing on both sides of the plane are extra gas tanks. F-16I's have MUCH more legs than normal F-16's
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.
Damn Sam! What a beauty :wub
Where can we find out about her measurements...I mean stats....I mean, you know what I mean:doh!
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
Nice looking bird. I took a visit to the IAF official website, thank god it has an english option :D . Looks like they got some pretty interesting ideas and weapon systems floating about.
I think its -15s, but it might be -16s that I heard this about; apparently CFTs actually improve aerodynamics for some predictably strange reason. Improves airflow over wing root or something. Looking at those things, I dont really believe it. They look horrible.

I might be wrong about this, but these are now F-16Us right?
No, that was a nick given to the , UAE's F-16.60's. The F-16I is a Block 52.

No, but they do add weight. As far as a juicy target, well the wings are full of fuel anyway, and if you catch a missile, it's not a good day no matter how the AC is fitted out. The CFT's increase the range, which was one of the main requirements for the Israelis- they wanted a plane that had an equivalent range to their F-15I's.

F-16I's have longer legs compared to 'normal' F-16's? lol Block 60's have CFT's also, and they're normal F-16's. ;) American F-16's don't have CFT's, since we have such a huge refueling capability, so it's not really needed.
"Is there anybody loving mig 29?"
I don't know, but I'd personally rather have an F-16, with the possibility of upgrading it to Block 60. :)
