SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons. Version 2

SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.
Viper63a

There are rumors swirling around that the USAF will be upgrading their aging, but much needed F-16 Falcons. I knew about Spudknocker's UAE F16E/Fs and Dtmdragon's New Zealand F-16C/Ds with CFTs, but why should they have all the fun? Here are some USAF F-16C(E)/D(F) Falcon Avengers!

Enjoy!
