The Foreign Military Sales case, JO-D-SME, worth over
$215 million, is for the purchase of support equipment, spares, and other related equipment to support sixteen leased F-l6s. The case supports two lease agreements. The first agreement is a five-year no-cost lease for twelve F-16A aircraft, one F-16B aircraft, four F100-PW-200 engines, sixty-two pieces of support equipment, 1420 reparable items, and eight maintenance-training devices. These items were all deemed to have exceeded
75 percent of their service life and under provisions in the Arms Export Control Act [§6l(a), AECA], could be "leased" at no cost, i.e., without requiring reimbursement for depreciation during the leased period. The second agreement provides a three-year lease for the remaining three F-16B aircraft. Reimbursement for depreciation costs is required for these aircraft since they each have more than 25 percent of their service life remaining. This lease is valued at
$1.6 million.
The case also includes:
Structural Modification of the Aircraft
Modifications to the F100-PW-220E Engines
Aircraft Ground Support Equipment and Aircraft Spares
