J-864 was one of 18 Dutch F-16s covered to F-16A(R) and was able to operate the Orpheus reconnaissance pod. The recce role was assigned to 306 Squadron. It is quite unique to see a 312 Squadron aircraft with this recce pod though! Of note is the position of the ALQ-131 ECM pod - due to the location of the photo pod, the ECM pod can't be carried on the centre-line station and therefore would be hung under one of the wings.
