SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- Brig. Gen. Jeff Riemer delivers the last
new Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon here March 18. General Riemer,
who was the System Program Office director when the contract for F-16s
was awarded, flew the Falcon from the Lockheed Martin plant in Forth
Worth. While Lockheed will continue to produce F-16s for
international coalition partners, this aircraft is the last of 2,231
F-16s produced for the Air Force. The first delivery was in
1978. General Riemer is now the director of operations at the Air
Force Materiel Command headquarters here. (U.S. Air Force photo
