Chile is hot for F-16.

The first F-16 produced for the Chilean Air Force underwent its initial production acceptance flight on 6 July in Texas--two other flights were accomplished two weeks later with no discrepancies reported on either of them. The Chilean F16 Peace Puma programme is a US government Foreign Military Sales programme that includes ten advanced Block 50 F-16s, six single-seat F-16Cs and four two-seat F-16Ds. The next programme milestone is to be the acceptance of the first three aircraft by the US government--which should have transpired by the time these lines are read. One F-16 will be used for flight testing with the other two used for hands-on maintenance training of the Chilean Air Force technicians.
