FMS serial 78-0261, a Fokker built F-16B (local construction number L-007), made its first flight on 9 November 1979 and was delivered to the Koninklijke Luchtmacht on 29 February 1980. The KLu made use of the aircraft until 20 March 2002, when it arrived at Soesterberg air base. It was stored in shelter 401 and destined as a instructional airframe for the fire brigade at Leeuwarden. The Fighting Falcon was later reported as scrapped at Oudemolen facility in July 2013. Here the aircraft finds its way to runway 10 of Gilze Rijen during the out-of-the-area Tactical Leadership Programme 1995.

This close one could get to the 322 sqn holding point in the farm fields near the village of Marssum. Since the new ring road was constructed this spot is well within the fences.

In July 1986, nine F-16s of 322Sqn were based at Gilze-Rijen due to runway works at Leeuwarden. At that time, Gilze-Rijen's main runway was not in use either, so all flying operations took place from the short runway 20. The taxitrack leading to runway 20, at that time, was very close to the fence.
