 The first of sixty advanced Block 52 F-16s ordered by Greece was accepted by the US government on schedule last October, thirty-one months after the letter of offer and acceptance was signed and only twenty-eight months after the contract was awarded. The Hellenic F-16, which involves substantial development effort, is being produced on a compressed schedule to meet customer requirements. The first aircraft will remain in Fort Worth until early 2003 to provide hands-on maintenance training, to check out new support equipment, and to validate technical manuals. Greece has ordered a total of 140 F-16s in three programs.
