F-16EF lands in Emirates.

The first ten 'Desert Falcon' F-16E/Fs to be based in the United Arab Emirates arrived in-country in early May, flown by the UAE Air Force pilots who recently completed F-16 training in Tucson, Arizona. A total of 80 'Block 60' aircraft were ordered by the Emirates, with specific requirements for the E/Fs and worked with Lockheed Martin on the design.
