The F-2 is a direct offshoot of the proven American F-16 'Fighting Falcon' design developed to suit a Japanese requirement for a multirole performer. Nearly 100 of the type were produced in both single- and twin-seat forms and the series continues to see service today. MHI is responsible for 60% of manufacturing with the remainder handled by Lockheed Martin. Production spanned from 1995 to 2011.
