Oman has selected the General Electric F110-GE-129D for the 12 Lockheed Martin F-16C/D Block 50 fighters it ordered last year. Deliveries are due to begin next year.

The order was for ten single seat and a pair of two-seaters. The Oman force already operates F-16s with a further 12 in service.

In a statement at the show, GE said “This follow-on buy is indicative of the confidence the Omani air force has in the F110 and the capabilities it can deliver for Oman’s demanding missions,”
