The first phase of Turkish Aerospace Industries' (TAI's) modernization programme for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has been successfully completed. Installing night vision googles on two PAF F-16 Block 15 (A/B) aircraft, TAI optimized the aircraft's cockpit for night flights. During the modernization work conducted in Pakistan's Shahbaz Air Base, cockpit illumination compatibility work on two aircraft, one of them being twin-seated, has been completed. The night flight compatibility of the aircraft was tested and approved in December, and delivered to the service. TAI also provided training to PAF personnel regarding the optimization of F-16 cockpits for night flights. TAI will deliver necessary compatibility kits for 43 additional F-16 to PAF later on.
