Unlike most other operators of F-16s, Chilean F-16C/Ds use drag chutes (or drogue parachutes) when landing. F-16D-50M 857 (FMS 02-6036) is seen here landing at Natal AB during exercise Cruzex 2024. It is operated by Gr. 3, based at Iquique. This photo is copyright © Jonathan Verschuuren, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
