Cool. These will be good ones cause they are building them right where I was born and the Donaldson Center. When I was born there it was Donaldson AFB, my dad was in Korea.
The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

Cool. Donaldson has the room, makes sense.
But the video stating "the new F-16 plant" I would think isn't exactly accurate. LM is simply repurposing an existing facility they had available that met the need.

Fantastic airplane that can turn on a dime and give you 9 cents change. Can't wait until they start flight tests!

Better than sticking them in the desert. Until they use they against us like the Tomcats we sold to Iran...
1.12 billion dollars for 16 units?
Holly crap!
Yup, he's crazy...
like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.
Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

I wonder how the F35 and the F22 would fair against the new F16.
And what would Maverick have to say about this?
I use to think the wings folding back on the Tomcats were the coolest thing ever growing up, other than the SR71

The B-1 wings did the same thing.
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/

35 and 22 are superior from what I’ve read. But much depends on experience of the pilot and using the avionics package.

I went back and watched the video again it hit me... so lemme get this straight, we're buying F-16's and essentially giving them to Bahrain?

A lot of these 16's are being made for overseas sales, like Bahrain. They have greatly upgraded the avionics, especially the radar. The radar is closer to what the F-35 carries (if they are loading up the AN/APG-83 SABR). These will be bad ass. It'll be a while before F-35's are available in enough numbers, so they are looking at upgrading a lot of ANG F-16's to this standard.
India was looking at going to F-16's until they picked up the Rafale. We were going to let Tata build them in India. Somethin' not right about that.

Compared to cost of a similarly capable F-35, these block 70's appear to be about 20M cheaper. And cost less to maintain.

That's what we do with our C-17s and pretty much all other aircraft in the inventory. New ones roll off the assembly line with new stuff and the older ones eventually get retrofitted to bring em up to the current standard. With Boeing not making the C-17 any more, when they develop new equipment, software, etc we have to go back and update the entire fleet. Or it's just done by a 3rd party when it goes to depot.
