Photo Comment

A pair of Fighting Falcons going for the afterburner on the runway at Twenthe. J-208 as delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) on 25 July 1985. After serving most - if not all - Dutch F-16 squadrons including the one in the States, it was retired in September 2012. The F-16BM was placed in storage at Leeuwarden and eventually sold to the Royal Jordanian Air Force as 237 on 29 November 2017.
