Jordan has officially signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance for the sale of eight new production Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 70 aircraft.
This F-16 acquisition reflects over 70 years of U.S. cooperation and decades of partnership with Lockheed Martin. Our history partnering with Jordan strengthens regional security and helps protect citizens through 21st Century Security technologies that support critical missions today and into the future.

The selection of new production F-16 aircraft extends Jordan’s existing fleet of F-16s, bringing advanced capabilities to the mission combined with affordable operating and lifecycle costs.
Jordan’s new F-16s will be built in Greenville, South Carolina, where Lockheed Martin continues to hire for positions that work directly on building and sustaining these jets.
