Blasting away fot the last time from Dutch soil, this former Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) Fighting Falcon serial J-650 was sold to the Royal Jordanian Air Force, 1sq. It was handed over to Jordan on 27 July and departed for the Middle East on 28 July. J-650 was delivered as F-16B to the KLu on 6 November 1982. It was modified to BM (Mid Life Update) in 1993.

License-built at Schiphol airport, Amsterdam, for the Royal Netherlands Air Force (KLu). Taken on by the Royal Jordanian Air Force in July 2009, but the outlines of the Dutch markings are still (or again) visible on the tail.

Former Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) serial J-650 was transferred to the Royal Jordanian Air Force as 133 on 28 July 2009. The Fokker built aircraft (FMS serial 80-0650) was delivered to the KLu on 12 November 1982. It looks like the aircraft is not repainted in Jordan service over the last thirteen years as the aircraft looks very worn and the tail section still shows the place of the KLu squadron badge (311sq) and the location of the fintip (the flag of the Dutch province of Brabant (of Volkel air base). The F-16 is assigned to 1sq at Al Azraq air base (Jordan).
