Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

On Monday 30 April 2018, Wilko Jonker died after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic modeling were his hobby and on this website he shared all the knowledge he has collected over the years. His hobby has been able to distract him from the persistent disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.

This website will be maintained by different people for as long as possible, so that other enthusiasts can continue to benefit from extensive content.

History

The F-16A and F-16B are the first production versions and are, apart from the number of seats, identical.
The USAF decided not to used the well known abbreviations to designate all smaller modifications applied during production.
The result of this policy is that there are relatively many production Blocks, OCU's and MSIPs. So designations like F-16A-1-CF are not correct.
MSIP means Multinational Staged Improvement Program, this is a program which contains (the description of) a large amount of changes.
OCU (Operational Capability Upgrade) is an improvement of the operational employability and incorporates structural improvements and also the replacement of the F-100-200 engine with the F-100-220 engine which is more reliable.

Below a description of the various production blocks as produced by Fokker of the F-16A and F-16B [General Dynamics and later Lockheed-Martin produced also F-16A.B block 20 and then started production of the F-16C/D version; for an overview of F-16 variants, visit F-16.net:

Block 1:
Both YF-16 prototypes and the eight pre production aircraft were followed by the first production block of operational F-16s.
The first F-16A, fiscal year nr. 78-0001, made its maiden flight in august 1978 and was delivered to the USAF the same month.
A total of 94 examples were produced. This production block characterizes itself with the black nose, the single UHF antenna under the air intake and the smaller horizontal stabilizers.
From the end of 1981 till mid of 1984 these aircraft are upgraded to block 10 standard with the upgrade programs Pacer Loft I and Pacer Loft II and they were equipped with the grey nose and later also the enlarged horizontal rudders.
Block 5:
Because the black nose radome proved to be clearly visible, this production block was equipped with a grey nose radome..
The UHF antenna and smaller horizontal rudders were maintained..
Differences with block 1 are very minimal and are mainly changes to improve reliability and mission readiness.
From the end of 1981 till mid of 1984 these aircraft were upgraded to block 10 standard with the upgrade programs Pacer Loft I and Pacer Loft II and they were equipped with the grey nose and later also the enlarged horizontal rudders.
A total of 197 aircraft were built.
Block 10:
Of this version 312 examples were built. The UHF antenna was changed, but remained on the same location. Further mainly internal differences.
Block 15:
This block also known as MSIP Stage I incorporated many improvements and other changes.
These changes were enlarged rudders, which had as a result different lift-off rotation speeds and allowed a more stable flight at higher angles of attack and better possibility to correct so call "out-of control" situations.
The Block 15 aircraft can also be recognized by the two small rectangular antennas for radar warning, situated under the nose., the antenna at the front of the tail and the UHF antenna, which had been moved from the air intake to a ventral location between both fins. The AN/APG-66 radar has an early version of the so called "track-while-scan mode" to improve air defence capability.
Also the Block 15 has a different radio, the Have Quick I secure UHF radio. Further the air condition was improved.
Also several structural strengthening s were added to wings and fuselage. so more pay load could be taken.
In 1982 an upgrade program was started for the avionics of all Block 1 and block /5 F-16A/B's, code Pacer Loft I.
In December 1983 a second program followed, Pacer Loft II.
A total of 457 Block 15 F-16A and F-16Bs were built, 410 F-16A and 47 F-16B.
Block 15 OCU:
214 aircraft of the Block 15 batch received from block 15Y (from the end of 1987) upgraded systems. These aircraft were designated Block 15 OCU (Operation Capability Upgrade) and had an improved, more reliable Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 turbo fan.
Further they received internal structural strengthening, a larger, wide angle HUD, as was introduced on the F-16 C/D.
The OCU aircraft had the possibility to carry the Kongsberg built, Norwegian Penquin Mk.3 anti shipping missile, (US designation AGM-119; provisions for the AGM-65 and the AIM-120 AMRAAM, a radar altimeter, extended computer capacity, a data transfer unit; AN/APX-101 IFF, Tracor AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser and provisions for the AN/ALQ-131 ECM pod.
These changes resulted in an increased take-off weight to a maximum of 37,500 lbs (17. 010 kg).
The first block 15 OCU was delivered January 1988. From 1988 all Block 15 F-16s were built according this new OCU specifications.

The F-16 replaced the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter as standard air defence fighter (clear weather) and to a certain extend also as fighter-bomber (used with the so called tactical squadrons 311 and 312).

During the eighties the Dutch government was looking for a replacement of the old Northrop NF-5 fighter-bomber and soon the decision was made and the F-16 was chosen to also replace the NF-5.

The task of the F-16 has changed from fighter and fighter-bomber to that of a multi-role aircraft.

Recce

Initial the Royal netherlands Air Force use the Orpheus pod, also used with the Lockheed RF-104G Starfighter. Several F-16s, designated as F-16A (R) had special wiring to use with the Orpheus.

The Orpheus pod was withdrawn from use in 1994 as it could be used at medium height.  Al existing and operational F-16s were upgraded to MLU standard during the late nineties. All F-16s, especcially the BLokc15 version, were identical to each other.

As an interim solution it was replaced with the MARS, Medium latitude Reconnaissance System.

Later the Reccelite, developed from the Lantirn targeting pod, was bought.

Upgrades and Modifications.

Below an overview of the most important modifications applied the the (Dutch) F-16.

In case you need an extensive overview check  http://wiki.scramble.nl/index.php/F-16#Technology_demonstrators.2C_modifications_and_studies

Some modification were necessary for a technical life extension because some parts of the airframe showed tiny cracks, much earlier than expected. These modifications were aslo nexcessary because of the delay of the delivery the succesor of the F-16.

1982-1983: Pacer Loft I and Pacer Loft II

All Block 1 and Block 5 airfcraft were modified to Block 10 standard.

1986 and on: Pacer Bond

J-358, delivered September 5, 1986, was the first Diutch F-16A which had the “Have Glass” canopy modification applied.

The canopy had a thin layer material added in order to reduce the RCS (Radar Cross Section) of the F-16. This modification was part of the 'Have Glass' modificatie.

1988/1989 Pacer Mud

Several parts, such as the edge of the air intake, had a layer RAM (Radar Absorbing material) applied in order to reduce the IR signature of the F-16. This program was part of the larger 'Have Glass II' modification.

This modification was also retrofditted to aircraft already in use..

See also http://planken.org/rnlaf/f-16-fighting-falcon

1989 and on: Pacer Tail

Adaption the drag chute of Dutch F-16s (according ECP-1315). J-369 was the first Duthc F-16 with this modification and made as such its first test flight on September 12, 1989.

DVM (Depot Vliegtuig  Materieel) at air base Gilze-Rijen modified 30 aircraft already delivered (DVM), whereas Fokker Woensdrecht modified 58 examples.

During the same period the gun port was replaced (‘Wild Bunch'program). The first sries Block 15 aircraft still had the earlies gunport with multi-slot-equipped, the new ports had a different opening, and two slots. Further, of existing Block 10 aircraft the opening of the drawn ECS was adapted to the version of the Block 15. Internally, however, the system didn't alter.

1990: Patch repair 5

During an inspection of the airframe some fatigue problems showed up with a certain girder, which was solved by adding a reinforcement at the wing root.

1993-1996: Pacer SLIP

Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) of the Dutch Air Force for Block 15 aircraft for a tenchical life extesnional of 5000 uur hours of certain parts of the airframe. This modification was added together with ECP-1910, a modification of the wings, by Fokker..

1999: Midlife Update (MLU)

In order to extend the lifespan of the F-16 a joint modernization program was initiated by Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway and Portugal.

This upgrade brought the aircraft up to about the same standard as the USAF Block 50 aircraft. Further, by means of the Falcon Up program the airframe was strengthened so it could be used for 8000 hour (as was intended at construction).

Also a new MMC (Modular Mission Computer, derived from the MMC from the F-22) was applied; further a non-data processor for the AN / APG-66 radar, the integration of the AIM-120 AMRAAM; AN.APX-113 Advanced IFF, color displays and HMCS (Helmet Mounted Cueing System) was added.

The Danish and Norwegian units also received new Pylon Integrated Chaff / Flare Dispenser (Terma PIDS).

Later the (Dutch) MLU F-16s also receiverd several Operational Flight Program Updates; These are mainly software-based updates for the MMC software, often referred to as M-tapes.

2002-2010 Pacer Amstel

This program is a combination of the Falcon STAR program, the Falcon UP program and a renewal of the cabling. Falcon STAR is another program for life extension with structural  modification of mainly the wing attachment.
