Why should they; they were bought and paid for by the Norwegians. As were the Danish F-16’s, many of which have been in storage for years with little interest being shown. And weren’t many of them built by SABCA in Belgium anyway?
Pretty much as stated by ErrolC and based on experience gained over many years following up leads around Europe and beyond.
Also, mindful of potential ongoing changes re USAF loans that may already be in place.
Finally for tonight, whilst proud of my involvement with Safir, Draken and Viggen imports from Scandinavia my original F-16 post was typed with a big twinkle in my eye!! 😉
