22 December 2021 saw the final test flight - and possibly the final flight - of the sole test Fighting Falcon of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force). The J-066, named Orange Jumper, only recently moved from Leeuwarden air base to Volkel air base, is marked with a Volkel tail fin and the colours of the province of Brabant on the stabilizors. The Orange Jumper is seen here with eight live (yellow painted rings on the weapons) Small Diameter Bombs (SDB) underneath the wings, as well as two training AIM-120s on the fintips as well as an ALQ pod underneath the fuselage.
