Having seen all current active Dutch F-16's there are a few non-active one's I’ve not seen & would just like to check on their current situations or maybe they have been disposed of.
J-221 believe this maybe a stored fuselage or possibly now scrapped?
J-245 preserved Ramstein, don't think this is visible from outside, unless you know otherwise?
J-249 ex GIA Maastricht, now elsewhere, stored, or scrapped?
J-254 saw the tail of this at Leeuwarden Show'16, is the fuselage still around, or scrapped?
J-259 is this still at Woensdrecht for GIA?
J-263 was in store at Soesterberg, still here or scrapped.
I would appreciate any up to date info on any of the above.
Thanks
Andy

Re: KLu F16s not seen
I only have two updates:
J-245 - not visible from Bismarckturm or Kindsbach hill, so: that will be difficult as it is in the center of the base and basically shielded from outside onlookers by buildings
J-263 - seen in storage for the NMM at Soesterberg in 2016
(Did you check the scramble DB for the others?
J-254 --> scrapped aside from the tail)

Re: KLu F16s not seen
The J-245 is indeed on display on a pole at Ramstein AB. It is between buildings and not visible from outside the base. Three months ago (August), when I was on the base, it was still there. As it is properly displayed, I think it will stay there for many more years to come.
