With a grey diamond pattern on the right side of the tail, placed over the once squadron markings, J-008 is seen here just before its final take-off in service of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force). The Falcon participated in the farewell formation flight over the Netherlands. J-008 was delivered to the KLu on 31 Jan'91 and served all the way to the end of the Fighting Falcon in the KLu. It was built by Fokker (L-287) as a Block 15, was modified to Block 20 MLU in the late '90s. The aircraft is now heading for Romania to serve as a training aircraft or to Ukraine.
