- Start date
Block-60 specially built for UAEAF and given the designation, Desert Falcon, was considered to be the best or most capable F-16 Viper out there until Block-70. But recent images of the aircraft show that UAEAF doesn't seem to be keeping it's aircraft in a good shape.
I've seen these images with the same exact text in a dedicated PDF thread a couple of months ago... Are you trying to reheat the topic here and do an SDF equivalent of what's called "Karma farming"?

So what, I've missed the mark on the exact date but what you're doing is still engagement farming as you always do...
Anyway, I'm going to ignore your replies so that the thread doesn't get derailed any further...
It appears that you are still hot where it counts...HA! from that TuAF F16 PAF saga piloted.

Argentina Welcomes Its First F-16 Fighter from Denmark – A New Era Begins

News out of Tandil—Argentina has just revealed its very first F-16 fighter jet acquired from Denmark, marking a major leap forward for the Argentine Air Force (FAA). The official presentation took place at the VI Air Brigade, where the jet was shown off to Defense Minister Luis Petri and senior military leadership, including Brigadier General Xavier Isaac, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The aircraft didn’t fly in under its own power—this two-seater F-16B Block 10 (designated as aircraft number 25) arrived in parts aboard two K/C-130H transport planes and was assembled on-site. While this particular jet won’t be heading straight into combat, it plays a crucial role in the bigger picture: it's the first step in building Argentina’s new F-16 training ecosystem.
This specific F-16B is being assigned to ground instruction duties, helping train the next generation of pilots and technicians at a brand-new Training Center now under construction at the VI Air Brigade. According to the Ministry of Defense, this marks the beginning of a comprehensive effort to integrate the F-16 into Argentina’s operational framework.
Training tasks will cover everything from the ground up: scheduled maintenance checks, weapons system configuration, operation of new logistics software, engine swaps, removal of the canopy and ejection seats, and in-depth inspections of fuel, hydraulic, electrical, and avionics systems. It's not just about learning a new platform—it's about introducing the FAA to an entirely new operational philosophy.
Before making its journey to Argentina, aircraft No. 25 underwent a full inspection, refurbishment, and repainting at Denmark’s Aalborg Air Base, handled by the Defense Maintenance Service (FVT). Next up: the final assembly phase, with help from Royal Danish Air Force personnel, leading to its formal rollout in the coming weeks.
It’s the start of a big transition for Argentina’s air combat capabilities—A humble start is just the beginning.
