Just finished its very last flight for the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force), J-006, stripped off squadron markings, was part of the farewell formation flight over the Netherlands. The Falcon is here seen just before it gets its traditional fire department water salute. J-006 was built by Fokker (L-285) as a Block 15AC OCU and delivered to the KLu on 13 Nov'90. It was modified in the mid 90s to Block 20 Mid-Life Update. It served most of the Dutch F-16 squadrons in its career, but is soon after this fini flight heading for Romania as a training aircraft or to Ukraine.

Those were the days, when colorful markings were still common.

This is a Fokker built F-16A (FMS 88-0006, Fokker L-285) , which made its first flight on 23 October 1990. The aircraft was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) on 15 November 1990. It is pictured here high of the Waddenzee, north of the Netherlands, when the Fighting Falcon was lining up next to the KDC-10 tanker.
