| Have all orders been filled for F-16s or is LM continuing to produce them? Will production shut down or are they continuing to market them for sale/production? |

| Greece and Morocco still have orders pending. Also, the F-16IN is still in the running for India's 120 acft MRCA tender. Might be more, but not sure. |

| We cannot discount the possibility of new F-16 BLock 60's for the ANG once the powers in charge of the USAF realize that new F-16's are a lot better than simply being out of fighters and waiting for sufficient F-35's to come online from production. I would use the Block 60 F-16's for domestic air force duties such as chasing lost Cessnas straying into restricted airspace vice wasting F-22 airframe hours. Then we will have ocmpetition from Boeing with its F-15 SE (Silent Eagle) which is sure to find new customers in existing F-15 users. |

| News flash from Fort Wayne. As of October they are changing from F-16s to A-10's. Thats coming from the recruiter and human resources who got that info from the commander. Apparently that is to hold them over until the F-35's are available to the ANG. |
