For over 25 years, the F-16 has represented the largest and most successful industrial cooperation production programs in the world with the development and implementation of industrial cooperation programs tailored to meet customers' needs. Production lines have been operated successfully in five countries, including Korea. We understand that the F-16 is about more than the airplane, it's about meeting the needs and requirements of our customers at all levels. |
I'd like to say (our chances) are great. We think the F-16 can offer a tremendous capability to the Indian Air Force. |
Our workforce builds an outstanding product and the world knows it, as the F-16 continues its record of being the world's most successful fighter. This contract is great news for the F-16 team, because it extends the production line another year and opens the door wider for additional international sales in the future. |
Repeat orders are a clear indicator of customer satisfaction. |
This marks another significant milestone for the F-16 Fighting Falcon – the most sought after fighter in history. With 4,300 aircraft in total delivered to 24 countries, the F-16 is the only international aircraft program that can claim more than 50 follow-on buys by 14 repeat customers, each who have relied on the Fighting Falcon as a key component of their national defense and fighter force structure. |
We also see the potential for 100-200 additional F-16 sales over the next few years. The F-16 has a bright future and continues to provide great value and capability to our customers. |
We're just glad to be part of the competition. If India comes in with a unique requirement, we feel very confident we'll be able to address that. |
