Lockheed Martin moving F-16 production to South Carolina

News media outlets report the company is moving production of F-16s to Greenville, South Carolina, to make room for expanded production of the newer F-35 jet fighters in Fort Worth, Texas.

A company spokeswoman says the move will create about 250 jobs in Greenville.

Defense One ( www.defenseone.com ) reports that the United States has not purchased F-16s since 1999, but Lockheed Martin has orders from several countries. F-16 fighter jets first entered service in 1979.

Lockheed Martin Greenville spokeswoman Leslie Farmer says the last F-16 in Texas should be complete in September. Farmer says it will take about two years to begin production in Greenville...

Its a shame, $15 an hour for hamburger flipping fits the narrative of Pacific manufacturing costs so well. :(
 
They work cheap in the South.

Something to be proud of.
