Well, according to Jack de Vries our F-16's are so old that they really can not be used much longer and we must buy the JSF as soon as possibe. Maybe he has rewound the internal clock of the F-16's before selling them........

According to sources the next 17 F-16's are for sale:

J-058, J-138, J-192, J-198, J-204, J-207, J-365, J-617, J-627, J-636, J-640, J-648, J-864, J-867, J-869, J-874, J-875. All F-16AM. (credit AGL Full Stop)

If true, that leaves just 1 unidentified.

Could any one already confirm which 18 F-16's are going to Chile? Are those 17 above confirmed or "most likely" victims
