Not bad considering the original A models I did some of the engineering on 40+ years ago were only intended to last 6000 flight hours. Design modifications incorporated to address cracking issues doubled the Cs’ lifespan.

but yes impressive to see any fighter get to 10k flight hours. Can all F-16 C fighters be upgraded to get to that max service life?
