"PAF's F-16 Block 15 Timeline"

The painting depicts a formation of four PAF F-16 Block 15s in different tail arts, with their squadron insignias in the background.

The farthest F-16 represents the oldest scheme it sported during Afghan War. It is depicted in CAP configuration and has 2 kill markings under the canopy.

The next is F-16 of 11 squadron and represents the time when the squadron achieved the Top Gun title in the Assessment of Combat Efficiency of Squadrons (ACES) for the third consecutive year.

The next F-16 represents the era when the squadrons started deploying abroad for international exercises like Anatolian Eagle, Al Sakoor, the Red and Green Flag exercises and many more.

The lead F-16 is depicted in MLU configuration.

On the right side are the kills achieved by F-16. The first line represents the confirmed kills. The second represents partially confirmed kills and the third represents a unique kill achieved by an F-16B of 9 Sqn in 2002 during Operation Sentinel when it shot down the intruding Indian Searching II UAV. PAF became the first airforce in the world which has shot down a UAV with a heat seeking air to air missile.
