25 years JBG 43 special colours

Whilst on delivery to Poland, this F-16 diverted into Leuchars with another F-16C (4043). Both refuelled and continued their delivery flight later that day. The Polish roundels had been taped over and on the right hand side only a 'stars and bar' was applied.

Ex JE-044, operated from Ixtepec by Esc 402 of Grupo Aerea 1, the final Mexican Air Force unit to operate the type before their withdrawal in 2007. Preserved at Culiacán since 2010.

This Alpha Jet had been used for instructional purposes for year leaving its marks. Fortunately this Alpha Jet was resprayed in all black panther colors for the 2004 Tiger Meet at Schleswig.

The YPT-16 was a military version of the civilian Ryan STA and became the first monoplane acquired by the Army Air Corps as a primary trainer. This aircraft flew as NC18922 in civilian life but is on display at the National Museum of the USAF as one of the 15 YPT-16 operated by the AAC. They must have been satisfied and this led on to the AAC operating nearly 1,200 more similar Ryan trainers as PT-20s, PT-21s and PT-22s.
