Lockheed Martin officials say they have produced the 4,300th F-16 fighter—a Block 50 version they will deliver to Oman. Oman has purchased 12 advanced Block 50 F-16s. Lockheed currently is producing the popular fighter for Chile, Israel, Poland and the United Arab Emirates. And, Greece has ordered 30 Vipers.
As with previous stealth aircraft unveilings, the Air Force’s imagery of the F-47 Next-Generation Air Dominance fighter has been doctored to keep adversaries guessing about its true shaping and design philosophy.
