Lovely low approach to runway 06L at Volkel. FMS serial 80-3617 and Fokker built F-16A Block 15 with line number L-100. The Fighting Falcon was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht on 14 June 1982. It was modified to F-16AM in 2000 and damaged during an exercise at Cold Lake (Canada). The F-16AM slipped in the snow off the taxitrack and dropped down into the wet ground. Its nose wheel broke down which resulted in damage to the intake and the expensive ALQ-pod. Aircraft was repaired and redelivered to the KLu. It was eventually sold to Chile as 741 and delivered on 4 April 2011 This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
