I'm surprised this sale was approved.

The first of twenty Block 52 F-16s for Egypt completed its first flight on 6 April 2012 from NAS Fort Worth JRB. Called Peace Vector VII, the latest purchase of F-16s by Egypt includes sixteen single-seat and four two-seat versions. Deliveries will begin later this year.
Company's sell products.

So Lockheed Martin can't be blamed for this sale of advanced fighters to Egypt...but the State Dept can.

Why would they sell these advanced jets to Egypt when the Muslim Brotherhood is about to take over?

When they held US Aid workers prisoner?

When we really don't know the future of that country.  This one is a mystery.
