Belgian MLU NATO 50th scheme

Does anyone know the tail number of the jet that was painted up for the NATO 50th Anniversary? This is the scheme featured in the Hasegawa 1:48 kit and the Revell-Germany 1:72 kit. Here is a link to the Hasegawa box art:

In all the photos I have seen there does not appear to be a tail number marking anywhere on this jet - does anyone know? (FA-??)

I don't know but maybe you could ask Reginald Lycke, he's the webmaster of the Belgian Air Component's Website. He could ask around. reginald.lycke@mil.be

Thanks Stefaan, I'll try asking him.

habu2,

If I'm not mistaken that was the FA-60, which at the time (1999) was a 349 Sqn aircraft. This makes sense, since 349 was the first BAF squadron to receive the MLU.

Hope this helps,

It's the FA60.
