The remaining 15 F-16s will be delivered later this year.
Pakistan received block 52 versions of the F-16 aircraft, which includes day-night, all-weather and precision-attack capabilities.
US Air Force Major Todd Robbins said the F-16 would enable the PAF to strike terrorists within their borders while helping them to avoid collateral damage.
