S.A.B.C.A. flight line crew succesfully delivered an F16 aircraft to one of its  customer Air Forces :  this time the Belgian Air Component  received  back a single-seater F-16, freshly upgraded by the highly skilled technicians of  the company to the latest M5 Avionics standards.
“Business as usual” for  these people who already proceeded with 29 similar deliveries since the  beginning of the year… with the noticeable difference that this A/C was  exactly the 1200th F-16 to roll out S.A.B.C.A.’s flight Line since 26 january  1979, when the very first production F-16 was delivered to the Belgian Air  Force.
S.A.B.C.A. started its common history with the F-16 more than 30  years ago, by the assembly and in-flight delivery of 222 new F-16 A/C, on behalf  of three different end-users.
Since then, S.A.B.C.A. Charleroi became a  global key-player for the Depot-level maintenance and upgrade of F-16 aircraft,  serving nine different F-16 customers around the world.
Beside the  continuous support to Belgium’s and other European’s  F-16 fleets,  S.A.B.C.A. ensures the Depot-Level MRO of the USAF F-16 operated in the European  theater. The choice made last year by the US Government to extend for another 5  years its co-operation with SABCA demonstrates S.A.B.C.A.’s abilities to provide  accurate, on-time, competitive answers to the most demanding  requirements.
S.A.B.C.A.’s undisputed leadership in F-16 Depot-Level  Support in Europe is strengthened by a State-of-the Art F-16 wings repair shop,  relying on in-house detailed wing parts manufacturing capability.
