Dutch Fokker built F-16A FMS serial 85-0135 was delivered to 315sq of the Royal Netherlands Air Force at Twente air base on 30 June 1987. It received a Mid-Life Update from June 1989. Here the F-16AM is seen, fully armed, with the 1(NLD) Air Task Force at Kandahar supporting the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). J-135 returned to homebase Volkel in late 2013. It was withdrawn from use at Volkel air base and eventually scrapped by late 2020.

2 generations of fighter jets in the same frame. Our Air Force used to operate the F-104 Starfighter until the early/mid 1980's, when it was replaced by The F-16. The Starfigher (LN-TSF) was restored to flying conditions in Norway and is based at Bodø airport. They were in town for the 75th anniversary of the 322 Sqn. Today was departure day and we were treated to 3 passes, 1 (precationary) full stop and 2 departures. A great sight, with a sound unlike I've heard before in my life.
