Re: Skrydstrup 2020

The other Danish F-16 will not get the Have Glass F-35 painting of E-005 and so it only will show this special colour scheme in the next few years.

Re: Skrydstrup 2020

Active today for the flag day were ESK 727/730 F-16AM E-189 and E-191 (‚Dannebrog‘) plus BM ET-207 and ET-613.

(credit to R.J.)

At least three of them were part of the QRA. Obviously the ‚older‘ F-16AM and BM are mainly used for the four QRA aircrafts.
