Chile Becomes 21st Nation to Acquire Pratt & Whitney-Powered F-16s The
government of Chile has announced it is acquiring 18 F-16 fighter jets,
powered by Pratt & Whitney's F100 engine, from the government of The
Netherlands. The government-to-government contract was signed Dec. 15, 2005.

"We are delighted to welcome the Chilean Air Force as a new Pratt & Whitney
military customer," said Tom Farmer, President, Pratt & Whitney Military
Engines. "Chile becomes the 21st nation to acquire Pratt powered F-16s,
further recognizing the popularity of this engine and aircraft combination on
the international scene."

The F-16 Block 15 aircraft are powered by the F100-PW-220 engine. The Chilean
Air Force will fly 16 of the aircraft, and use the remaining two for spares.
The aircraft are expected to arrive in Santiago, Chile, in the fall of this
year.

Pratt & Whitney will provide logistical support for the engines, including
support equipment, training and spare parts.

Pratt & Whitney to Supply Additional F100 Engines to the Hellenic Air Force
Pratt & Whitney will supply the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) with 35 more F100
engines as part of a sale announced in December 2005 when the governments of
Greece and the United States signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance for 30
additional F-16 fighter jets.

The new engines will supplement the existing fleet of Hellenic Air Force F100-
PW-229s, which are powering the HAF's most advanced F-16s purchased in 2001.
The sale includes an option for an additional 10 aircraft and 11 engines.
Delivery of the aircraft will begin in 2009.

"We are honored that Greece has once again expressed confidence in Pratt &
Whitney's F100 fighter engine. We are looking forward to continuing to provide
the Hellenic Air Force with engines of superior performance, safety and
reliability," said Tom Farmer, President, Pratt & Whitney Military Engines.

In service for 31 years, Pratt & Whitney's F100 engine continues to be the
engine of choice by air forces around the world to power F-15 and F-16 fighter
jets. The U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Air National Guard, the U.S. Navy and 20
international customers fly variants of the F100 engine
