F-16C -PJ-

The F-16C -PJ EMBLEM- is a downloadable aircraft in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. It was released in April 24, 2008 with Pack #07. During release, it was free of charge.

Description
The PJ F-16C Fighting Falcon is the next iteration in the Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War aircraft line, following the F-15E CIPHER and PIXY. It is based on the Falcon flown during the Belkan War by Patrick James Beckett, the second active wingman of the 66th Air Force Unit "Galm". The plane looks similar to the basic Emmerian version, with the exception of PJ's personal emblem (a heart with a crow) behind the canopy. As well, the tailcode is changed to "VL 020", and the roundel of the Ustio Air Force is located by the engine.

The PJ EMBLEM is, in performance, similar to the standard variant. Air-to-air and air-to-ground receive a minor upgrade, while mobility is noticeably increased. On the downside, the aircraft's armor has been reduced to give way to the increase to maneuverability. It has the added advantage of a lowered lock-on time.

Trivia

 * Some time after Pack 07's release, the PJ EMBLEM aircraft was removed from the Marketplace. The exact reasons for this remain unknown.
