Israel Air Force test pilots are flying MIG 29 jets and conducting dogfights against the IAF's F-16 fighters, Channel 2 revealed Wednesday evening....An additional experiment conducted recently by the air force involved loading an F-16 with weapons to its utmost capacity, or "flight in a heavy formation," .... The experiment was meant to measure the pilot's safety and the fighter's capability when it was carrying the maximum amount of armaments

They are getting ready.
Practice makes perfect. ;)
I wonder what the payoff will be for Jordan if it’s radars mysteriously go offline at the moment the Israelis fly over on their way to Tehran?
Fully load an F16 with bombs/armaments/fuel, its going to fly like a brick.
You think they got the Jets from India?
I thought they built some of their own? They have Israel Aircraft Industries, (IAI). ??
I think there is at least a chance that F-22’s will be scrambled to intercept any “unauthorized” planes entering Iraqi airspace in the next few weeks. Obama has demanded that Israel inform him of any attack on Iran. I bet Obama has a standing order to intercept incursions — unless he orders a stand-down upon being informed on the Israeli attack.

How ironic. The only thing standing between a massive Shiite vs Sunni holy war which will consume the middle east is the Jewish State.
Egypt and Jordan saw this coming.
I don’t think the administration will stop an attack on Iran. Then again, Israel can just launch missiles from their dolphin class subs, take out whatever they want that way.
And no one will know what happened.

Will military loyalty and discipline heed Zero’s orders to engage and destroy?
There are no F-22s deployed in theater.
I say that Obama is desperate to demonstrate to our Muslim enemies that he is not seeking their destruction. He would defend Iran.
I say that Obama dislikes Israel and feels that the Middle East problems are caused by the Jews.
Obama has demanded that Israel clear any planned attack through him -- if they do not, I think he will take it personally.
I think Obama is quite capable of ordering a shootdown of Israeli jets in an effort to protect Iran's nucelar capability.
If Israeli jets fly through Iraqi airspace and U.S. jets attack them, then ALL HELL will break loose here in the states.
Our congress still fears the Jewish lobby as well as other extremists like me.
Let me introduce you to my little friend.
Checking on the nations having a M-29 operation history, Indian seems the best bet with the strong increase military ties and sales with Israel these past few years. The Indian Air Force also has the most up to date models outside Russia and recently also awarded a multi-million dollar contract to Israel Aircraft Industries to provide avionics and sub-systems for the upgrade of their Mig-29s.
Also, if Iran keep working toward an atomic weapon, India does not want another nuclear armed Muslim nation. The option for Indian is to help Israel solve the problem.
And, not withstanding, it appear The Øbamanation will not raise a hand to keep Iran from getting an nuclear weapons to threaten Israel, the Mideast and eventually the United States itself.
Makes you kind of wonder... 
whose side is Barack on?
If the BJP comes to power, look for a shedding of that reticence. Meanwhile, the In.AF has exercised with F-16's of the Singapore AF and the USAF. The PakAF didn't like it one bit.
Fully load an F16 with bombs/armaments/fuel, its going to fly like a brick.
This Bad Boy has at least two drop tanks
(can't tell about the bottom of the fuselage?)
They ain't getting ready to fly down the Jordan River.
IMHO they're getting ready for something 'a bit further' ;-)
