US Company to Provide Advanced Airpower Capability to Argentina
Top Aces has been awarded a $33.19 million contract to provide F-16 instructor pilot training for the Argentine Air Force. The training program will cover the full spectrum of F-16 pilot instruction and will be performed in Argentina. The contract includes two years of comprehensive pilot training with an option for a third year. This follows a US government contract notice published in February 2026, which stated that Top Aces had received a firm-fixed-price award for F-16 instructor pilot training under the Foreign Military Sales framework. The announcement was made by Top Aces on March 16, 2026, and is part of Argentina’s ongoing effort to field its newly acquired Danish Fighting Falcons.
