| November 20, 2008 Norway pays $8.5M for U.S. fighters
|
OSLO, Norway (AP) - The Norwegian government says it has picked
the U.S. developed F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to replace its aging
U.S.-made F-16 aircraft in a roughly 60 billion kroner ($8.5
billion) deal.
The U.S. led-consortium had been competing with Sweden's JAS
Gripen fighter to replace NATO-member Norway's 48 US-made F-16s.
A news release from the government says the Joint Strike Fighter
project led by U.S. company Lockheed Martin Corp. was selected on
the basis of price and the aircraft's ability to meet Norway's
operational requirements.
Defense Minister Anne-Grete Stroem-Erichsen says the American
fighter won in all key areas, including aerial information
gathering and combat.
The decision was announced in a statement Thursday.
