The European training center for F-16, a first in the European allied space, is a model of collaboration and solidarity between allies and partner states," minister Tilvar declared.The Dutch counterpart thanked Romania for the decision of hosting the pilot training facility and noted the speed with which Romania managed to integrate all the technical, logistical and legal steps between the two ministries and the Lockheed Martin company - as the manufacturer of the F-16 aircraft and of the training infrastructure.In turn, ambassador Kavalec emphasized the multiple positive aspects associated with establishing and operating the European Training Center for the F-16, both for Romania as well as for the allies and Ukraine.
