Photo Comment

On 1 July 1988, 313sq said goodbye to its NF-5A/B Freedom Fighter era. At that time, the Netherlands soccer team won the European Championship. The final 313sq NF-5A received a coloured tail, commemorative to the championship . Originally, it showed "the word "AANVALLE!" (attack!, the Dutch cry out of the fans during the soccer game of the national team) on the tail, but this was erased after the aircraft arrived at Woensdrecht for storage.
