FS2002 RNZAF F16AM Falcon. A Lockheed Martin F16AM Fighting Falcon from 2Sqn Royal New Zealand Air Force, v1.0. FS2002 textures for LAGO's F16 Fighting Falcon. The RNZAF came a gnats whisker from being another F16 operator when it was decided to replace the A4K Skyhawks with a sizeable number of F16A/B aircraft originally destined for the Pakistan Air Force but embargoed by the USA after discovery of the Pakistani nuclear weapons program. The deal was signed, pilots were even earmaked for conversion training and a delivery date was set. Then Helen Clark of the Labour Party came to power and decided that the RNZAF no longer needed fast jet combat aircraft and scrapped not only the F16 program but also the entire RNZAF fleet of A4Ks and MB339s.
