Post by wamovements »

The first tow RNLAF F-16's arrived have arrived at their new homebase in Tucson.

On Ocotber 29, 2010 both J-019 (unmarked) and J-647 (full 162nd FS mks) arrived.
Both will be part of the 148th FS, currently flying F-16E/F's from the UAE AF.
The first F-16E/F were withdrawn alst week to the UAE.

I was there last friday. They came in shortly after 8 am. Don't know if they came directly from Springfield. The J-019 had no mks, the J-647 a toned down 306 SQN badge (NDSO) + red/yellow finstripe without the word Springfield.

Both were already operating with the unit at Springfield; www.scramble.nl/nlbase.htm gives you that answer.

Spine dislikes everything that is modern and got stuck in the 70's when the airforce was still flying metal banana's (f-104's).
