Iraqi air force: F-16s to Strengthen Air Defense, Partnershi?p with U.S.

Members of the Iraqi Air Force, Ministry of Defense, U.S. military, Iraqi and Pan-Arab media depart an Iraqi air force C-130E in Western Iraq on Nov. 8, 2011. The group attended a press conference hosted by staff Lt. Gen. Anwer Amin, the commander of the Iraqi air force. Amin told the Iraqi and Pan-Arab media Iraq's purchase of 18 F-16C Fighting Falcons, for their future air defense, will encourage and strengthen the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Iraq. He conducted the press conference in front of an F-16 static display provided by the 125th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, an Oklahoma Air National Guard unit providing top cover in Iraq for U.S. service members. When the Iraqi F-16s are delivered, most likely sometime in late 2014 or 2015, Iraq will have the most advanced multi-role fighter aircraft in the world. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt.
