Despite a short schedule, Lockheed Martin has delivered the first of 60 advanced F-16s to Greece on time.
The aircraft is the first of a new family of advanced Block 50/52 F-16s that have been ordered by several countries.
“The program involves substantial development effort and is being accomplished on a very compressed schedule to meet customer requirements,” said Kevin Dwyer, director of F-16 International Programs at Lockheed Martin. “Accomplishing this only 31 months after signature of the letter of offer and acceptance, and only 28 months after contract award, is unprecedented.”
The team producing the aircraft included the Hellenic Air Force, the US government, the US Air Force, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, and several industrial partners. “This is a major addition to the F-16 family, incorporating significant new capabilities,” said Dwyer.
