Modified to Block 20 Mid-Life Update in the early 2000s. After a long career in the KLu and serving most Dutch F-16 squadrons, the dual was stored at Twenthe for refurbishment. It was then stored at Volkel in anticipation of being transferred to Jordan. It received serial 132 in the Royal Jordanian Air Force and was sold under Peace Falcon IV with construction number M14-12. It was delivered to 1sq on 27 Jul'09.
