Should be well cared for F-16s and a nice upgrade from the LanceR MiG-21.

I guess I’ll see them in my locale soon! MK airport.

Does that include a flight sim for training?

The final agreement was signed 4. November following months of negotiations and includes 32 aircraft along with spare parts and support equipment, as well as maintenance and technical training services.

“When selling the F-16 fleet we have worked to also secure opportunities for Norwegian industry. In this particular case, to supplement our sale of aircraft and equipment, Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services has been chosen as a strategic partner, delivering support, maintenance and training of Romanian technical personnel,” said Ms. Jære.

I wonder if their pilots will head to Luke AFB for initial training.
