SUBJECT: F-16 Block 60 Program Accomplishments
Dear Mr. PiIla:
LM Aeronautics has publicly announced the successful first flight of the F-16 Block 60 aircraft. This significant program milestone occurred on Saturday December 6, 2003. For those of us at LM Aeronautics, the excitement accompanying the event is still with us. We want to use that event to acknowledge the contributions our suppliers have made to the successful first flight.
We recognize the dedication and long hours expended by many of your employees. Additionally, we recognize the collaboration and teamwork between our two companies that was instrumental in bringing key aircraft systems from the development stage into a first flight readiness stage.
Successfully accomplishing contract events directly contributes to the well-being of both our companies. We look forward to continuing with F-16 Block 60 contract activities and having you as our partner as we achieve future program milestones collectively.
With sincere appreciation,
