A második géppel megnéznék egy demót. Van egy tippen, hogy egy sima F-15C-t felszállás utáni emelkedésben a végén még lenyomná.

Jordan – F-16 Air Combat Training Center

WASHINGTON, February 11, 2021
"The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Jordan of an F-16 Air Combat Training Center and related equipment for an estimated cost of $60 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Jordan has requested to buy an F-16 Air Combat Training Center and Devices including full mission trainers, combat tactics trainers, instructor/operator stations, tactical environment simulators, brief/debrief stations, scenario generation stations, database generation stations, mission observation centers, and other training center equipment and support; software and software support; publications and technical documentation; maintenance, spares and repair parts and services; U.S. and contractor engineering, technical, and logistical support services; and other related elements of program support. The estimated total cost is $60 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.

The proposed sale will improve Jordan’s capability to meet current and future threats by ensuring Jordan’s pilots are effectively trained, which will contribute to the U.S.-Jordan lasting partnership and ensure the country’s stability, a critical element to broader U.S. regional policy goals. Jordan will use this asset to enhance training of pilots. Jordan will have no difficulty absorbing these training center assets and simulators into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation Rotary & Mission Systems, Orlando, FL. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of two U.S. Lockheed Martin contractor representatives to Jordan for a duration of 2 years to support training.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

A magyar 29-es flotta kb. ugyanennyi idő alatt repült 18 ezer órát.
Az együléses gépek 13 ezret.
Ne írjuk le, hogy hány pilótával, mert elsírnánk magunkat.
Kemény.

A cikk végén ott van hogy a pénteki repülése során a Belga Légierő három másik pilótája kíséri majd De Vries-t és együtt a négy pilóta több mint 16 000 órát repült már F-16-on. Gondolom, erre írtad.

Igen. Ezek szerint képesek megtartani az embereket a rendszerben és repülnek is azért.
Gondolom én...
Még 20+ év alatt is összeszedve ennyi órát elég jó átlag jön ki.
