The F-16I is the Israeli Air Force's advanced tactical aircraft building upon their extensive combat experience in the earlier F-16 variants.

One of the most notable differences between the F-16I and earlier Vipers is the inclusion of the second cockpit. While F-16B and F-16D trainers have nearly identical combat capabilities as their single-seat counterparts, these two-seaters are used primarily for training.

The F-16I, like the F-15E Strike Eagle and the F-4 Phantom II before it, makes use of that crucial second set of eyes to aid the pilot with situational awareness as well as to operate the on-board mission systems leaving the pilot free to fly the aircraft.
