GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The Article is quite long (>75 KB), so please try to split it into reasonable subpages. Not done

Repeating the same cite over and over again is unecessary Done Faizan (talk) 12:15, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency: Block 2 and Block II Done

Please use American or British English, not both. Done

Has a bunch of jargon that most readers don't understand (for example "fairing"). Doing...

"Mach 2.0+" would do better as "over two times the speed of sound" Done Faizan (talk) 10:02, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.

No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Thanks for starting the review, there was a huge backlog. I am taking exams but will try to get this completed as soon as possible. Regarding the 8 dead links, these articles of Janes and Aviation Week were either deleted from their websites or were moved to the paid archives. I could not find them in the available archives too, I cannot find the substitute sources. Faizan (talk) 10:18, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Universal British English is being used in the article. Faizan (talk) 10:21, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, regarding the jargon, I propose that the text be abridged. Aircraft fairing is a component of the airframe, but I am also sure that most readers have not heard about it before. Faizan (talk) 11:03, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No reasonable split can be made. Generally article is split when it crosses 100 KB. General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is >114 KB. So split is unnecessary. Faizan (talk) 12:27, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
