Built by Fokker (line number L-175) as F-16A(R) and delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht on 4 Oct'84. It received FMS serial 80-3647. The recce F-16 was assigned to the dedicated Dutch recce squadron 306sq at Volkel. Late '99 it was modified and contined as F-16AM and was assigned to 311sq up to Sep'07. J-647 was transferred to the Dutch F-16 training squadron in the States (again 306sq, but now with a training task). In Sep'10 it was moved to the 148th FS at Tucson. It returned to Volkel for storage in Sep'11. It flew again in Jan'14, moved to Woensdrecht as an instructional airframe.
