Actually, it looks like $30 million would be for a lightly equiped F-16. The March 2002 issue of Air Forces Monthly describes the following deals:

A UAE puchase of 80 F-16C/D Block 60 planes at $6.4 billion ($80 million each) for aircraft and spares, but not weapons.

An Islraeli purchase of 50 F-16D Block 50/60 planes at $2.5 billion ($50 million) each.

An Egyptian order for 24 slightly older F-16C/D Block 40 jets at $1 billion ($41 million each).

And Bahrain has opted to purchase 10 new F-16C/D for $300 million.

IIRC some European countries were permitted to buy US warplanes at highly subsidized prices a few years ago. Otherwise 30 beans seems to be the minimum for a new build plane.

IIRC F-16s were built under license in Europe, which could account for the price discrepency.

Increase Your PM Length

No F101 pics? As a kid I watched one crash on take off in Bangor Maine where I was going to camp. We got to take a trip to the airforce hanger and get close to one until one of the kids did a pullup on the pitot tube. We got thrown out.

Anyway, I'd love to see one again after so many years.
