China News Service, June 7. According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" report, on the 7th, an F-16 fighter plane of the Taiwan Air Force made an emergency landing in Hawaii due to a landing gear problem on the way back to Taiwan for upgrade. The nose was damaged and the personnel were safe.
The Taiwan Air Force's code-named "Fengzhan Project" cost about NT$110 billion. Lockheed Martin and Hanxiang Company of the United States upgraded the existing 140 F-16A/B to F-16V (Block20); and code-named "" "Fengxiang Project" purchased 66 new F-16V (Block70) fighters from the United States.
People familiar with the matter said that an F-16A/B, which was driven by American personnel and will be upgraded to return to Taiwan, encountered a landing gear failure and other reasons in the morning. Damaged but safe.
As for the follow-up compensation, because the fighter jet is outsourced to the US for maintenance and repair, and it is insured, the US side will be responsible for the relevant costs.
