This 323sq F-16AM received an unusual green ISAF badge. J-873 was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) as a F-16A with FMS serial 81-0873 on 25 January 1985. It was Fokker built (line number L-189). After serving the KLu, it was sold awith serial 244 to Jordan in July 2017.
