F-16 Durability Testing: 25,000 Hours and Counting

.
Windy,

What was the time period for the 100,000 incident free hours? Because i believe we recently lost a F-16, one from the original 40 unit Peace Gate order.
There was a period between 1994 and 2009, in some 15 years of operations, PAF didn't suffer a single F-16 mishap.
October 4, 2005 - A three-member delegation of Pratt & Whitney called on Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat, Chief of the Air Staff Pakistan Air Force at Air Headquarters to present a plaque to the Chief of the Air Staff in recognition of flying the F-16, for over 100,000 accident-free flight hours.
Lloyd W. "Fig" Newton, executive vice president, presented a plaque to the Chief of the Air Staff in recognition of flying the F-16, for over 100,000 accident-free flight hours.
They also commended the maintenance, quality control and flight safety standards of the PAF, which made this achievement possible.
Retired Gen. Lloyd Newton, along with Gen. (R) William J Begert, Vice President and Warren Boley, Vice President, remained with Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Sadaat, Chief of Air Staff for some time and discussed matters pertaining to mutual and professional interest.
