Intersting history fact:

The IRIAF had placed orders for 140 F-16's and a follow on option for another 160 at the time of the Iranian Revolution.
With the arms embargo, they weren't delivered but did end up in the region - they were bought by Israel

There were 4 AWACS as well! After the regime took power, they have cancelled all military orders, stating 'we don't need warfare'. The AWCS were sent to KSA AF , AFAIK.
 


Imperial Iranian Army Aviation veteran WO1 Hossein Baseri (rank in photo) and USAAF Aviator (can't see rank insignia) Miss Grado* , 1976 .

Both are Bell 214 Pilots.

*Her name also can be one of these:

Gradu - Garado - Garadu - Gerardo - Geradu - Gorado - Goradu .
