The US Air Force is considering purchasing new F-16s as part of a review of next-generation airlift options and refining requirements for new tankers. This marks a potential shift in their procurement strategy after decades of focusing on newer aircraft models.

The discussion is taking place as part of the preparation of the budget for fiscal year 2028 and the subsequent five-year defense plan.
