I think these F-16s are destined for USN Top Gun at Fallon, and for USAF DACT aircraft at Nellis.

They were the original aircraft destined for Pakistan but were never delivered for political reasons. They are early build Block 15 jets that are no longer compatible in a combat avionics sense with current Block 30+ USAF F-16s.

There are a whole lot of ex-Swiss F-5E/Fs coming to Fallon soon as well. They're well looked after and low hours, and make great DACT aircraft.
