After its service life this F-16 was transferred to Spangdahlem AB (Germany) for ground instruction duties. Here it is seen in a shed during the 1994 open house. Later put on a pole as a gate guardian marked '85-1552' to represent the commanders F-16C.

At the old main gate of the base, five USAFE types that have been stationed here are on display. Painted with the serial of the former wing commander's F-16C, this is actually F-16A 78-0057. It was never stationed in Europe but did serve as an instructional airframe here in the mid-1990s.
