F-35C passed the Critical Design Review

Nothing to do with this topic but I didn't want to start a whole new thread for just this question.

About how much fuel/flt time does an F-16 in this configuration have? About how much time would you get in the MOA/Restricted space with that fuel?

thanks

my guess would be about .7 to .9 ish

also same question for an f-18:

It could be a 1.5 or a 0.5. How much AB are you using? What kind of mission are you doing? That's what truely counts in fuel consumption.

Depends

Also...How many tankers are available and how far away are they?

Seriously, why would you (the thread starter, not Scrap) want to know about these configurations since they would never be used in combat. The closest thing I ever saw to these in the AOR was 4xAim-9s 2xAim-120s and a 131 pod. It was an air-to-air only config used for the CAP over Kuwait. Sure was fun to fly too.

Those configs pictured are usually just for local sport at the home drome.
