The sole MiG-killer of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) during its landing at Volkel air base. The aircraft carries some full-colour squadron markings and is now assigned to its final KLu-squadron, 312sq Bonzo, before it will be retired and replaced by the F-35A. The J-063 scored a killl on 24 March 1989 during the Balkan war when its pilot shot down a Serbian MiG-29.
