F-16B, 1715

Always enjoy seeing the pictures that you put up here and I had a question about these F-16s. Seeing that these airframes are getting older, will the Venezuelan Air Force phase out the F-16 and replace it with a Russian or Chinese built aircraft or will they continue flying them?

I know that most of the early build USAF F-16s are at the end or reaching the end of their effective service life

not the Su-30MK2 wine was to replace the Mirage-50 Air Group Nº 11 potential replacements for F-16 are the J-10, the Rafale and the Su-35 but due to low oil prices both Rafale as the Su-35 do not see them as a possible replacement for the parallel F-16 but has time are in excellent condition and possibly put 20 operating F16

Thanks for the answer HUNTER VZLA, so if I understood correctly the F-16s will continue flying in the meantime but a replacement is actively being selected? I enjoyed the recent batch of photos especially the aviation ones.

while not raise the price of oil, I do not think there replacement for the F-16 for now, but potential replacements that have shown interest are the J-10 and Rafale
