Royal Netherlands Air Force first to operate F-16 Fighting Falcon on SAF
July 2, 2018
Over the next fortnight,
one F-16 Fighting Falcon of the Royal Netherlands Air Force will operate from Leeuwarden Air Base
on a 5 percent blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF),
supplied by SkyNRG,
a Netherlands-headed sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sourcing, supply and development company.
This is part of an initiative of the province of Friesland,
where the entire community will travel fossil free for two weeks.
Furthermore,
the Ministry wants to continue this two-week flight programme,
by operating all F-16’s at Leeuwarden Air Base on a SAF blend later this year.
The SAF used in the F-16 aircraft is made from used cooking oil (UCO)
and produced by AltAir Fuels in California, US.
In 2010 an Apache AH-64D helicopter of the Royal Netherlands Air Force
flew with one of its engines running on a 50 percent SAF blend, supplied by SkyNRG.
This flight was for demonstrative purposes and
to underline the importance of sustainability for the Dutch Ministry of Defence.
