The second batch of the ex-Dutch F-16s has started being delivered in November last year with a second flight in April of 2011. These aircraft realy should be flying already, but so far no pictures have reached us from these airframes in their Chilean color scheme with Chilean serials.

Does anyone has more news about their status?

Greets,

Anyone? It's so strange that no pictures appear from these airframes.

Greets,

Thanks,

We know that a number of 7 Grupo jets were present at FIDAE with 748, 751, 756 being present. If anyone has a picture of these jets, that would be a good start already.

Greets,

I wasn't in FIDAE 2012, but I've found some pictures to share (with credits to their owners and the page in which they were published).

Here are two MLU Vipers:

I'm still looking for pictures of the aircrafts you've mentioned, Bjorn (748, 751 and 756), but by now I didn't found anything of those birds.

Kind regards.

Thanks for that. I know they were there since I've seen a tailshot of an F-16 line-up in which they were present.

Greets,

Chileans deployed F-16s and personnel to Texas late last month (October 2012). Here's more information:

Today we were able to add another 6 airframes to the Chilean Viper list thanks to Lukas Kinneswenger who took some of the Grupo 7 birds who were present at Santiago on September 19th.

Greets,
