Hello,
I'm really surprised that it does not have US articles about a possible deal of 36 F-16 for Morocco.
I do not speak about the translation of french articles. (la tribune, les echos)
Do you have any sources from Lockeed Martin ? US Congress ? or any american/english serious sources ?
Thanks. |

hello there, im new here,i dlike first to intrdoduce myself :
my name is youness i study engineering in morocco my interest in aeronautics started when i was child my favorite aircraft are the C130 F-5 and more recently the F-16
the story between morocco and lookhed martin company is related the end of 60's when we were the first custumers to bue the 130 H model.and during 90's there were negociation to buy F-16 block 15 aircarft,but it ended in failure due to financial & political reason.
but now things seems to be real, a contract for 24 batch of F-16 bloc 50/52 aircraft inlcluding the latest weapons & equipement packages.
but the story of this contract is very special,because first we were interested in Dassault's Rafale and crewmans went to france for training,having Rafales was a obvious thing.
Then the came the turn when lookhed offred it's F16 as a rival and win the contract because of the fincancial advantages and because RMAF(Royal moroccan air force ) has some knowlge in F-16(pilots are flying F-16 in Emirates) and the similarities between it and the modenised F-5.
Morrocan prime minister having explanation about the aircarft(the plane is already with moroccan marking)
Mr McHenry to Aeronautique.ma: 'iam impressed by the level of maintenance of Rmaf's planes '
the rest of the interview is in french :
Aeronautique.ma (Marrakech) : En marge du Salon AeroExpo, Mr William McHenry, responsable du Développement commercial de l'avion F-16 (F16 Business Development) au sein de Lockheed Martin*, a accordé un entretien a Aeronautique.ma.
William McHenry - F-16 Business Development
Lockheed Martin est présente en force sur les stands de l'AeroExpo avec deux avions F-16 Block 40, un avion C130 et un simulateur de vol de F-16. Sa présence s'explique par l'achat par le Maroc de 24 F-16 Block 50/52+ après l'échec des négociations avec le gouvernement français pour l'achat de l'avion Rafale. Le montage des premiers avions destinés au Maroc est prévu pour l'année prochaine alors que la réception des premiers F-16 sera pour 2011.
L'entretien :
Aeronautique.ma: Abstraction faite des raisons politiques, quelles raisons techniques avez-vous avancé pour que le Maroc penche vers les F-16 plutôt que les Rafales français?
Mr W. McHenry: Je crois que le F-16 américain n'a plus besoin d'être présenté. Il est utilisé par 24 pays et c'est l'avion le plus vendu dans le monde. En plus, plusieurs les pays qui en possèdent ont repasser commande pour en avoir plus. La réalité sur le terrain explique largement le choix des militaires marocains pour cet avion.
Aeronautique.ma : Pourquoi des F-16 Block 50/52+ pour le Maroc? Et non pas des Block40 ou Block60 vendu aux Emirats Arabes Unis?
Mr W. McHenry: les avions que le Maroc compte acquérir sont des avions neufs, Lockheed Martin ne produit plus les F-16 Block40 et le F-16 Block50/52+ est l'avion qui répond le plus au cahier des charges présenté par les militaires marocains via le gouvernement.
Le webmaster d'aeronatique.ma en compagnie de Mr W. McHenry
Aeronautique.ma: Quelques pays possédant le F-16 l'ont personnalisé voire amélioré? A-t-on les compétences nécessaires pour parler un jour d'un F-16 version marocaine?
Mr McHenry: J'ai eu le plaisir de visiter les avions exposés sur les stands de l'AeroExpo, je suis impressionné par l'état d'entretien des avions des Forces Royales Air surtout l'avion C130 fabriqué par Lockheed Martin et que je connais assez bien. Donc, je crois que le Maroc a les compétences pour entretenir et améliorer le F-16 pour l'adapter a ces besoins, il disposera de toute l'assistance technique necessaire de la part de LM pour cela.
Aeronautique.ma: Vous avez visité l'AeroExpo et découvert le progrès que connais le Maroc dans le domaine de la sous-traitance aéronautique. Peut-on espérer un jour voir des parties de F-16 « made in Morocco »?
Mr McHenry : Le Royaume du Maroc est malheureusement peu connu par les industriels américains. Il faut savoir que pour Lockheed Martin la qualité passe avant le low cost, on a nos propres sous-traitants agrée et la sous-traitance hors des Etats-Unis n'est pas à l'ordre du jour.
Aeronautique.ma: J'espère que le beau temps ici a Marrakech vous donnera envie de revenir découvrir les autres potentialités du Maroc ?
Mr McHenry: Absolument. D'ailleurs je ne suis pas le seul, toute l'équipe accompagnant les deux F-16 présents sur le stand ont apprécié le séjour et sont candidats pour un autre séjour à la réception des premier F-16 par le gouvernement marocains. |
