The name of the Jet is F16I ("I" stands for Israel).
BTW, are you sure that that's a F16I, it doesn't have those ugly fuel tanks on the body.

Judging by the desert camo pattern it is an F-16I, and the CFTs can be remove and install at will depends on mission requirements. With the CFTs installed, the F-16I claimed that it can fly straight to Tehran and back without mid-air refueling.

There is a better, more aacurate way of jusdging, since CFT can be taken off, and the schemes are very similar.
Look at a pic of an Israeli F-16D- there is a thin bulge out of the tail that goes over the exhaust. The F-16I doesnt have it.

Hope im clear enough. If not I can show in a picture.

The F=16XL is the most beautiful variant, the I above is a good second. :)
