F-16 Viper | The first flight of the upgraded Hellenic Air Force aircraft took place
The first trial flight of the upgraded F-16 fighter jet of the Hellenic Air Force took place as part of the first phase of the upgrade program of the Hellenic Air Force F-16 fighter jets to the Viper configuration. The program has been undertaken by the Hellenic Aviation Industry (HAI) and Lockheed Martin.
During the trial flight, the upgraded systems of the aircraft were successfully tested, thus giving the impetus for both the smooth continuation of the work and the upgrade of the remaining aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force. It is worth noting that “the aircraft upgrades were carried on schedule, without any deviation,” states a relevant announcement of the Hellenic Aviation Industry (HAI).
