The aircraft were sent to the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for “mid-life upgradation”, the Daily Times reported Saturday.

In October 2010, the PAF signed a contract with the TAI to upgrade all its F-16 Block 15 aircraft.

Under the programme, the TAI is performing structural modernisation of F-16 aircraft that have been on the inventory of the PAF since 1982-83.

The project is expected to be completed by September 2014.
