A Dutch F-16AM leaving low-level Kabul, topped of with live GBUs, Sidewinders and a targeting pod. The Koninklijke Luchtmacht deployed four F-16s in support of ISAF. This deployment was shared with initially the Belgiums, and later with the Norwegian. The Dutch and the Norwegians formed the "first Netherlands / Norwegian Expedition Air Wing (EEAW) F-16 International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Detachment 4", or in short 1 NLD/NOR EEAW F-16 Det ISAF-4. The Norwegians relieved the Belgiums with 1 NLD/BEL EEAW F-16 Det ISAF-3.
