Does not look like an F-16C to me; it does not seem to have the antenna on the front of the fin. And am I wrong to think that C’s do not have the parabrake tail?

F-16 Block 50 belonging to the Fuerza Aérea de Chile (FACh) made a belly landing at the Diego Aracena Airport in Iquique, Chile.

The F-16 fighter jet of the Aviation Group No. 3 of the 1st Air Brigade "Los Cóndores" suffered an incident during landing, that resulted in the temporary suspension of operations at the airport in the northern city of Iquique.

The pic of the B-model is of an incident over a decade ago…

Looks like indeed an F-16C: https://www.t13.cl/videos/nacional/vide ... id=share13
