Lockheed Martin flies first F-16 Block 72 for Moroccan Air Force

The first Lockheed Martin F-16 Block 72 for the Moroccan Air Force completed its maiden flight on 6 October.

The aircraft will undergo further flight tests before delivery, and the partnership follows more than 50 years of cooperation between Lockheed Martin and Morocco, whose forces already operate F‑16s, C‑130s and Black‑Hawk helicopters.
