The Royal Oman Air Force accepted the F-16 during a ceremony April 3.

In 2002, the Sultanate of Oman became the 23rd member of the F-16 family and now joins the 15 other countries which have ordered additional F-16 jets for their air defence. The new F-16s will add to the Oman Air Force’s existing fleet of F-16s used to defend Oman’s borders.

“Our partnership with Oman is a proud one,” said Orlando Carvalho, Executive Vice President of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. “Working together, we are not only producing new F-16s, but also upgrading their existing F-16 fleet to provide the Royal Air Force of Oman with a common advanced F-16 capability configuration.”
