Greece will buy 30 additional F-16 Block 52+ aircraft, with an option for an additional 10 aircraft, to augment its current fleet of F-16 fighters, according to Lockheed Martin officials. The deal for the 30 aircraft is worth $1.2 billion to Lockheed. The company must deliver the new fighters by 2009. That’s good news for the Fort Worth crowd.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
