F-16 - Last F-16 Fighting Falcon

SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C.—Brig. Gen. Jeff Riemer delivers the last new Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon here March 18. General Riemer, who was the System Program Office director when the contract for F-16s was awarded, flew the Falcon from the Lockheed Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas. While Lockheed will continue to produce F-16s for international coalition partners, this aircraft is the last of 2,231 F-16s produced for the Air Force. The first delivery was in 1978. General Riemer is now the director of operations at Air Force Materiel Command headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Keri S. Whitehead)
