Sounds like a good investment
it’s worth remembering that the Block 50s were initially designed for a service life of 8,000 FH. However, thanks to the F-16 Service Life Extension Program, SLEP, launched in 2017, 350 will receive structural modifications that will raise their service life from 8,000 to 12,000 hours: what’s needed to keep the Viper in service until 2045 -2048. There would also be room for a further extension as one test article, put through simulated was put through a simulated service life of more than 27,000 hours!
