The Block 25, which featured more advanced avionics, cockpit displays, and AN\/APG-68(V) radar as well as a larger fairing at the base of the vertical stabilizer for ECM equipment, first entered service in 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next stage of the MSIP saw the introduction of two different turbofan engines, the Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney F100-PW-220 and the General Electric F110-GE-100, with GE-engine aircraft designated Block 30 and PW-engine ones designated Block 32.
