Are those Argentine markings?

  1. Looks like a Hellenic Air Force F-16, from Greece.

  2. I don't think the Argentines operate the F-16. I think those are Greek roundels, but not sure.

  3. Wrong shade of blue for Greek roundel. Appears to be Cypriot.

  4. I think too light for Cyprus. There appear to be Greek markings in that shade although they were noted as naval and had a yellow outer band.

  5. I don't know but I sure feel bad for the guy on the motorcycle that it ran over.

  9. Greek, and I hope they got that gear fully retracted before reaching VLE, it comes up quick with the afterburners.

    1. That's what maintainers are for.
      Remember, the barberpole is a goal, not a restriction.

  10. Greece did final assembly and checkout of their own F-16's in country. Made in Greece, flown by Greece.
