Photo Comment

The Dutch 323sq is named "Diana", so the Tiger pilot choose the wrong visor cover. J-256 carries FMS serial 78-0256 and is a Fokker built (line number L-091) F-16A Block 10C. It was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) on 16 Apr'82. It was withdrawn from use at Volkel in Feb'01 after it experienced a nosewheel collaps during taxiing out of a dispersal in Dec'00. It was then stored at Volkel, to Soesterberg in Nov'01, moved to the Technical University in Delft on 22 Apr'08 and returned to Volkel as an instructional airframe in Nov'11. Scrapped soon after.
