AWACS:  We've just picked up bogies on radar, taking off.  Delta-35, confirm?

Delta-35: Confirmed.  Have visual.  We have 3 F-CK's taking off.

Delta-35 to rest of squadron: Heads up boys!  We got some F-CK's flying!

That bird looks like some weird combo of an F-16 with Sukhoi and F-18.

F-16 in the very forward portion of the nose and wings.
F-18 in the cockpit area, canopy and forward wing fillets.
Sukhoi in the rest of it.

Really strange looking F-CK if you ask me.

Personally I think they should've named it the F-CK-U, or if it ends up having a poor service record the F-CK-Me.

"F-Chopper Koga" and her signature bass.     Active and passive pickup functionality, it's a serious bass.

Furthermore it's an F-CK-1 from CCK AFB, Taichung.

Imagine if mainland China took over. It would be a PRC F-CK-1 from CCK.

I'm thinking the name was entirely deliberate:

"Taiwan initiated the IDF program when the United States refused to sell them F-20 Tigershark and F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighters following diplomatic pressure from China."
