The very last transatlantic crossing with Dutch F-16As. 312 Squadron was the last to covert to the F-16AM and this was about to start after they returned from Maple Flag in Canada. Because of the historic significance, all aircraft received full colour squadron markings prior of their departure from Goose Bay. A last minute request for a nice formation over Greenland was honoured, to much delight of all the passengers in the KDC-10! From front to back: J-199, J-617, J-870, J-871, J-877 and J-202.
