Turkey Advances In F-16 Upgrade For Jordan

Turkey has advanced in its upgrade of the F-16 multi-role fighter fleet of Jordan.

Turkey's state-owned Tusas Aerospace Industries has completed the upgrade of several of the 17 F-16s in the Royal Jordanian Air Force. TAI has been a subcontractor to prime contractor Lockheed Martin in the $1.1 billion project.

TAI executives said Tusas has been modifying the F-16 frame to enable the upgrade. They said the company was also installing F-16 Mid-Life Upgrade kits into the aircraft.

In 2005, TAI completed two aircraft prototypes for Jordan's F-16 program. In January 2007, the first F-16 arrived in Jordan for serial upgrade.
