Thanks for the updates.

The J-514 and J-013 went to Charleroi for maintenance with SABCA. The J-017 and J-641 returned from SABCA without markings. The J-646 also lost its markings during storage at Charleroi.

To commemorate 45 years of service a special Farewell Falcon colour scheme was applied to the J-197.

J-004, J-018 and J-646 flew from SABCA to Fetesti this 19/06/2024 as "NAF 312-13-14" after several FCF the week before.
J-004 and J-018 still have their low vis KLU Roundel without tails marks.
J-646 have the high vis KLU roundel without tails marks.

Thanks for the updates.

The J-004, J-018 and J-646 were delivered to the EFTC from Charleroi on June 19th, the first 2 were the last ex 148FS AZ coded F-16's which are now all delivered to Fetesti.

Another 4 SABCA stored airframes are expected to be delivered to the EFTC this year. The remaining 20 Volkel F-16's and another 4 SABCA stored airframes are reserved for delivery to the Ukraine later this year.

The J-017 and J-641 were deprived from Dutch markings and badges at SABCA but got both a full colour squadron badge after they returned to Volkel.
