PeterN - Thanks for providing this info. Any idea why these Vipers did not get a fresh coat of paint?
The first batch IIRC were all freshly painted.
Thanks PeterL

They will be painted once arrived in Chile. The first ones got a new paint due to a official ceremony upon arrival in Chile.

How many will the Dutch be left with when it's all said and done?

Hey PeterN

Do you have any idea why very few of the Dutch vipers are in good paint condition.? The ones on the pictures doesn`t look to good either. When ever i`ve seen one, they seem to really need a good touch up. Do you now if the planes that were sold had the banana fitting installed? Wonder how much a used F16A is worth??? Have a nice day Very Happy
