Greenville, S.C., Jan. 24, 2017– South Carolina-elected officials and congressional staff visited the Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) facility in Greenville Jan. 22 for an update on the site’s T-50A and F-16 programs.

During the visit, South Carolina Senators and House members were also given a tour of the proposed T-50A Final Assembly and Checkout (FACO) facility and Ground Based Training System center.

“We are appreciative of the continued support provided to our site by state leaders and their participation in the visit,” said Don Erickson, Lockheed Martin Greenville site director. “This is a chance for them to see first-hand how our T-50A offering in the U.S. Air Force’s Advanced Pilot Training competition is ready on day one of contract award, and the efforts that are underway in standing-up the F-16 production line.”
