FMS serial 78-0241 was a Fokker built (c/n L-059) Block 10. Delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) on 23 May 1981 and assigned to 322 Squadron at Leeuwarden. It is here seen at the pedestrian crossing :-) of Soesterberg, returning home. The Fighting Falcon later flew with 315 sqn (from Mar'94), 311 sqn (Dec'95), 312 sqn (Jul'00), and was stored at Soesterberg in 2001 (with the tail of J-232 and fake J-315 titels). In Jan'04 it was moved to the ROC school in Tilburg, still with fake J-315 serial. From Mar'19 it is used by the fire department at Eindhoven AB

In the early years the F-16 just carried a Sidewinder missile on the wing tips. External fuel tanks appeared about a year later.
