F-16 A / ADV SPECIAL COLORS

In 1986, the USAF established the ADF (Air Defence Fighter) program in course of which more than 270 F-16A/B Block 15 aircraft had been upgraded to Block OCU aircraft and modified for the ANG departments. These planes had improved avionics and might be properly used with semi-active AIM-7 Sparrow radar-guided air-to-air missiles. The Italian Military Aeronautics Division leased 45 thousand hours of flight-time, between 2003 and 2010, for thirty F-16 Block 15 ADF aircraft upgraded to standard “Falcon Up” aircraft, and four F-16 Block 10 aircraft of converted procedure. The task began on 28 June 2003, with all the very first F-16 landing within Sicilian base, as well as on 22 May 2008 the aircraft for the 37th formation reduce 30,000 hours of flight-time.
