Cairo, Egypt -- (FILE PHOTOS) -- 16 March 1982 -- During a ceremony at Cairo West Air Base attended by senior Egyptian and American Air Force officers, the Egyptian Air Force took delivery of the first 6 out of 42 F-16A/B block 15 figher jets, stemming from the Camp David Peace Accords, in which the US agreed to offer military and non-military aid to both Egypt and Israel. This group of F-16 fighters was part of an agreement signed by the Egyptian Air Force to acquire 42 fighters over a period of several years under the Peace Vector/FMS (Foreign Military Sales) program. Between then and 2013, Egypt had taken delivery of some 220 F-16s, making it the 4th largest operator of F-16s in the world. On July 24th, 2013, US president Barack Obama ordered a delay in the scheduled delivery of a further 4 F-16s, citing the "current situation" of unrest in the country.
